Total perfection!
Left on 01/23/2012 for a stay in January 2012
This exceeded our hopes totally. Clean, comfortable, nicely appointed condo with a view of the waves on Hanalei Bay. Everyone at the resort was super helpful and friendly. The grounds are beautifully maintained. I felt that our location on the grounds was perfectly centrally located near the beach walk, pool, tennis and parking. There's nothing I liked least! It was amazing.

Nice View
Left on 10/06/2011 for a stay in October 2011
We rented the unit because of the great view portayed on the website and the price. We were not disapointed with the view and the room was nicely appointed.
Our only complaint was that you could hear the nieghboors next door even when talking in a conversational tone. The soundproofing with the next door unit was compromised by the locked adjoining room door.
We were fortunate to have had considerate nieghboors who observed quiet hours so it was not a big issue. Although this could have been an unpleasent stay if we had loud, inconsiderate nieghboors.

what a view
Left on 04/28/2011 for a stay in April 2011
We weren't sure what to expect as this was the first time we have been back to Kauai after 34 years. The room was great and the view was just beautiful. The amenities were just as described. Weenjoyed the use of the toys on the lanai. The bed was very comfortable and things were not as loud as we thought they would be (due to the chickens). Overall we would recommend this unit to anyone.

Room 6204 was wonderful. It had a beautiful view, the furniture was great and the room was set up so that it seemed alot larger than it really was. This is definately the best value and even though the rate was low the room was 5 star! Highly recommended...we will be back!

Pleasant
Left on 11/20/2010 for a stay in November 2010
We had a nice time. Hawaii is absolutely beautiful. The beach area was nice, but a hike to get to it. Complimentary rides are offered via golf cart which is nice, but we would have gone down to the beach more had it been a closer walk. The jacuzzi was a nice short walk away. The condo was nice and comfortable with a relaxing lanai. Unfortunately the bed was very uncomfortable to us, since it was extra soft without much support. It was very nice to have laundry in the condo that we could use. Parking is not so convenient since there is no parking close to the condos, only golf carts may drive by the condos. Again, we could have called for rides on the golf carts, but we prefer to be self-suffiecient.

Thank you for your feedback--
The king bed in HBR 6204 is a one year old top of the line Memory Foam Mattress which most of our guests find incredibly comfortable.

Peace of Haven
Left on 10/30/2010 for a stay in October 2010
We are so happy that we chose to spend our week vacation on the North shore, but particularly so that we did so at the Hanalei Bay Resort. We rented Condo 6204 from aloha Condos after doing much homework, as this was our first trip to Kauai.
I was tentative at first to book someone's private condo as this was the first for us (we usually do resorts). But it exceeded our expectations in most areas. It was very professionally managed. From booking, to answering requests, all was very professional. They catered for all our requests and needs without hesitation and with a smile.
The first thing that struck out to me was that even though it was a studio (hence relatively smaller than say a 1-bedroom), the owner had decorated it very tastefully. On top of this, the amenities were really top end and the attention to detail was highly thought over. (For example they had detergent for the dish washer and other small things you didn't have to run to the sundry shop to buy). This is something we appreciated very much.
It was very clean, and felt roomy. The bathroom is very modern and spacious with very good lighting. The kitchenette, though small and not a full kitchen, had everything you would need for making coffee and tea, sandwiches and other smaller meals. It was stacked with the necessary kitchenware.
The bed was nice, huge and very comfy and we had very nice sleep there. They have an a/c (Daikin) which helped a lot as it can get a bit warm during the day and even at night sometimes.
The best bit of the condo though, was the lanai or verandah. Unlike surrounding condos (which had cheap plastic chairs), they have confortable chairs with cushions and tables...and the view of Hanalei Bay is very, very enduring. We would just sit there and soak in the peace, tranquility of the islands right there from the lanai.
If our travels bring us back to Kauai in the future, we would stay here again without a doubt. It was a dream holiday.

Great Value and Great Location
Left on 06/23/2010 for a stay in June 2010
The room's view was very beautiful and relaxing.
The grounds was very scentful with amazing flowers and plants. Too bad the Bali Hai Restarant was closed because it had amazing views. The North shore is where to stay with the best scenery, beaches, dining, and amazing hiking. Go snorkeling at Tunnels and Ke'e beaches about 20 minutes away. The Makai Princeville golf course is one of the best I've played. Look on the internet for good price tee times. I highly recommened the Coast hike and
Captain andy's snorkel/dinner cruise. By the way the TV moves in any direction if you want to watch in bed or Lanai. My wife and I had an amazing time and
hope to come back some day. Kristin the owner was very nice and easy to work with. The condo had great towels, cooler, and beach chairs. It is very easy to get to from the parking lot. A great gorcery store close with great prices. We cooked out on the grill and it was very nice.

We loved it!
Left on 06/09/2010 for a stay in May 2010
We had a great time staying here! Good value for the money. Great location. Area restaurants are good, a little pricey, but not too bad. Walking distance from the beach and we watched the sunset over the ocean every night! The bed was very comfortable. The washer/dryer was a nice convenience (as well as the microwave and refrigerator). We really enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

Fantastic stay at the Hanalei Bay Resort!

We had a wonderful stay in condo 6204 at the Hanalei Bay Resort recently: excellent service, very clean, well-decorated and well-equipt condo, and a great location with view of the mountains and the Bay. We are planning on returning, and we will definitely recommend for our friends!

nice place to stay
Left on 04/05/2010 for a stay in April 2010
beautiful view and very convenient location for a great price. Washer/dryer comes in handy at the end of a trip. Walls of unit very thin, though, and we could hear our neighbors conversations, baby, etc.

Our stay was comfortable and peaceful.
Left on 04/02/2010 for a stay in March 2010
The condo looks exactly like it does in the pictures. It was extremely comfortable, very clean, and beautifully furnished. The room had an air conditioner, but when we ran it, the room became humid. Luckily, the weather in Hanalei was mostly cool during our stay, so we found that we didn't need to run the air conditioner---especially at night. The front door was not a solid door, so you could hear the other vacationers outside if they walked by--but this was not really a bother. However....the roosters! They loved to let you know they were in the vicinity---especially at 6:00 am! Other than the roosters, the only really negative thing is that the room did not have Internet access. The gift shop on the property had WiFi, but it just wasn't convenient for us to lug our stuff to the gift shop each time we needed to access the Internet. Overall, we had a very nice stay in the Hanalei Bay Resort condo. We would come back to stay here again.

a room with a view
Left on 03/11/2010 for a stay in February 2010
Loved the room. Beautiful decor and could look at the bay as we enjoyed
breakfast on the lanai. The resort food choices were limited. We wished there
was an onsite restaurant, but there was just a grill, poolside for lunch.

Very beautiful!!
Left on 10/09/2009 for a stay in September 2009
What a beautiful condo with a very warm and elegant interior! I was pleasantly suprised by how stocked the condo was, everything from plastic wrap to boogie boards to tons of local brochures. There was even a drying rack in the condo for our wet suits and towels, along with lots of extra pillow! The view from the condo is far more fabulous in person. It was breathtaking to wake up and see how close Bali Hi was and to see the most beautiful rainbow soaring in the sky! The view is far more closer than it appears online. The condo location was great! Only a half a minute to the pool, restauraunt and tennis courts. The beach is stunning and just a short 5-10 minute walk down the hill. There was a call box at the bottom, close to the beach in case you wished to have a ride back up. Unfortunately during our stay the main restaurant was closed at the resort and also at the St. Regis next door. We ate one night at the lounge on the resort and were not very impressed with the food. Beautiful condo and resort to stay at with restaurant, shops, and a grocery store within a 5 minute drive. Hanalei Bay is approximately 10 minutes away and has many more shops to offer.

Beautiful rennovated efficiency condo was just perfect for us!!
Left on 08/31/2009 for a stay in July 2009
Condo unit 6204 was just perfect for our kauai vacation this summer. The small kitchen area was so nice and self contained and had everything we needed for our 6 night stay. The bed was very confortable and we enjoyed the wonderful TV and other furnishings.
The unit was just beautiful. The HBR was a wonderful property, but the grounds and pool area could use attention. The hot tub was not working the entire week we were there. That was a dissappointment after a long day of hiking.
But, the views are awesome and I just fell in love with the North part of the island.
