This was my second winter trip to Kauai, and both years I have stayed at the HBR (unit 4221). I hope to be able to make this an annual trip, as I have loved my time there so much! We had a great view of Hanelei and the coastline from our room. The pool/hot-tub area is really nice, and you... More

We stayed at the HBR for 11 nights. What a spectacular view from our room of the mountains and ocean. It was glorious! The room was decorated very nice and was clean. The bed was quite comfortable. Working with the owner, Joan was great. She has everything you might need including beach chairs, boogie boards, etc. We really enjoyed sitting... More

Mahalo for your nice comments about my suite, 4221. I am so glad you enjoyed your stay in my island home. You sure hit great weather so you could put those boogie boards to good use. Hopefully the next time you visit the island, the bar and restaurant will be rebuilt and you can enjoy dinner and cocktails right at... More

This resort is one of the most exclusive on the island. Near a golf course, lush vegetation, wonderful views of the mountains and a glimpse of the bay. Rooms were huge as well as the bathrooms, however, many things were not up to par. A ceiling fan that could not be turned off, terrible lighting for dining and living areas.... More

Stayed here on our Kauai excursion. Rooms were a bit outdated, but clean. The biggest problem we had was the 30-40 minute drive to get to most of the attractions on Kauai. Would have paid more to stay south of Kapa'a. More

As other reviewers have noted, the rooms are in need of upgrade and maintenance. The resort is in a great location: specifically, you can walk down to the same beach as the Saint Regis Princeville down a steep hill. If you like tennis, there are 6-8 very nice tennis courts. The views are nice from the units and the pool... More

We love the area and had stayed at Hanalei Bay Resort five years ago in a private owned unit that we booked though the owner. This time we booked unit 9221 through Summit Pacific Inc. The process was easy ,,the price was right but I was dissappointed on the condition and the bathroom not being very clean. You can't always... More

Despite the lobby and the restaurant being closed for repairs, the hotel is a decent place and has an ideal location on the point of Hanalei Bay. Condos with full kitchens make it easy to feed yourself on a budget, and you get plenty of exercise walking up and down the hill to the beach (or you can ring for... More
