We (family of five, three kids ages 18 - 24) recently returned from a
most glorious vacation at Hanalei Bay Resort. The views were
astonishing and ever-changing. The resort property reflected the
lush and beautiful landscape of Kauai--the swimming pool like a
tropical lagoon, the tennis courts artfully placed, the units tucked
inside the hillsides, the beach just a short, but hilly, walk away.
(For those who have difficulty walking hills, golf cart transportation
was available at any time). Resort staff were very friendly and
helpful. The unit itself was CLEAN and beautifully decorated and
stocked with everything we needed, from dishes, cookware and
ipod players to beach towels, laundry soap, boogie boards and zip-
lock bags. The beds were extremely comfortable, providing us all
with deep and restful sleeps. Every day we lingered over morning
breakfasts and evening refreshers on the deck, soaking up the
views, the sounds, and aromas of the tropical paradise. The
resort's proximity to the charming town of Hanalei, to fantastic
beaches, hiking, zip-line adventures, kayaking and dining made it
a fabulous haven for those of us seeking adventure and relaxation.
Our unit was very quiet--no one was staying immediately adjacent
to our unit. But if they had been, I could see that deck
conversations might not be totally private or quiet if adjacent units
were booked. However, other residents seemed to be very friendly
and respectful. Also, the resort restaurant was not up and running-
--not a problem for us as we either cooked our own meals or ate
at nearby restaurants.
To conclude, we felt we had won the jackpot and definitely would
return to this very same spot. We wish we could go back next
week!
