every year for the last seven years, and plan to

continue. It is a paradise!!

We love this resort and return as often as our schedules permit. Beautiful view, lovely and spacious unit (2BR), great restaurant and bar too. The pool is picturesque as well.

the exterior landscape and buildings are exquisite, lovely, plush, with a large waterfall pool and private jacussi. the next door hotel and the awesome beach/ pool are also fanastic to enjoy. inside the rooms are tropical fabric and a complete kitchen, most items new-some used. every room has a patio to look out to the ocean. the ac and water works well, with good tv reception. one bedrm size has extra big couch bed for guests. nice and quiet - no noise or too many chidren on the property- mostly couples, of all ages. great place to unwind with the best of mother nature, even little colorful birds fly up to your patio in the morning- truly romantic.

I have been a timeshare vacationer since the early 1980's and this is by FAR the best timeshare we've ever been to!

You have a private beach with unobstructed views of one of the most famous natural landmarks in Hawaii. The water is fantastic, the pool is fantastic, the golfing is world class, the restaurant is one of the best on the island... I could go on forever.

Do yourself a favor and make sure you make the time for a Napali Coast Cruise. If you are adventurous, throw in the scuba option for a truly fantastic experience - I immediately went out and got PADI [scuba dive] certified as a result!

We just came back from the resort, and my family and I, while there in Hanalei Bay felt like we were in paradise. The views are spectacular. Through the palm trees we could see the beach, the bay, the water breaking against the rocks, and the mountains with waterfalls. The rich vegetation was amazingly green. There were plenty of birds. Hanalei Bay is constantly maintaining the grounds with gardeners, carpenters, etc. The beach is shared by the Princeville Hotel and Hanalei Bay Resort which makes it a semi-private beach. There is plenty to do without leaving the resort, such as visiting the tennis courts, the pools, the Bali restaurant/bar, the bbq's, snorkeling or laying out at the beach, and golf.

Have stayed here twice in the last 3 years. It is a beautiful resort with great amenities. The pool is just beautiful. Great tennis, too. Some of the rooms need updating. The location, amenities and restaurants more than compensate for that. This resort also has a great staff as well. It is quite close to the Princeville hotel and I recommend going to the Library there and eating dinner. We plan on going back this winter and we were just there in October 2003.

Beautiful property. Great location. Incredible views.

Perhaps my mother and I got the worst unit in the complex, but we had a terrible experience at this resort in January 2003. We were booked for 3 nights but would have left the very first night if they would have refunded my money. We had a studio, garden view for $250 per night. The room was supposed to be non-smoking but it was not. The walls, carpets and draperies were filthy. There was mold in the shower. There were no dressers for clothing. The furniture was broken and there were holes in the drapes. The unit had a very moldy odor. A Motel 6 would have rated better than this resort. We moved to the Cliffs Club and enjoyed a very lovely 1 bedroom complete with granite counters and very nice furnishings. By the way, Hanalei Bay Resort even had broken dishes in the cupboard and a very dirty stove. Absolutely disappointing. As a Marriott owner at Desert Springs and Maui Ocean Club, I believe that Hanalei Bay Resort gives timeshares a very bad name. However, there is a chance we had the only horrible apartment in the complex. Passing by the apartment next door, it appeared to be equally shabby. The pool was also under repair and was very unattractive. Did we have an unusually bad experience or is this typical for Hanalei Bay Resort?

Hanalei Bay Resort is absolute paradise! The grounds are beautiful and make you feel like you are in the "real" Hawaii instead of a "created" resort. The restaurant has good food and the pool/hotub are so shaped to seem like they were nature-made. The hottub/spa area is known as the best in Kauai by the locals.

I am looking for a vacation rental for my family (5) near hanalei bay in early july.....25th wedding aniv.......we honeymooned there.....inexpensive please Sonny

HBR is the most beautiful place in Hawaii. This is a romantic getaway that provides all the luxuries of paradise. You watch the sunset from the beach or the resturant while dining on the best taste of Kauai. The resort treats you like royalaty. A must see!
