If you are looking for the perfect tropical destination on the North Shore of Kauai, this is it. Overlooking Hanalei Bay with views of Bali Hai (Mt Makana), Hanalei Bay Resort 4222 is special! Hanalei Bay Resort has always been regarded as one of the top resorts to stay on the North Shore of Kauai. Stroll along 22 acres of tropical landscaping. Sit on the lanai and witness some of the most beautiful sunsets you've ever seen. After a light rain the rainbows will dance off the bay.
This sought after and popular condo, recommending frequently on TRIP ADVISOR, can be rented as a ONE BEDROOM (4222) or two bedroom that sleeps up to 7 (4221/2). ONE OF THE FEW CONDOS AT HBR WITH AIR CONDITIONING IN BOTH BEDROOMS and living room.
Pu'u Poa Beach is below via a paved path. Bell service can drive you down or back up if you don't want to walk. This beach is shared with the St Regis Hotel. (THIS IS THE BEACH IN THE MOVIE THE DESCENDANTS) Other top beaches are within 10-15 minutes as well as numerous activities (zipline, golf, horseback riding, surfing, mini golf) and fine dining in the towns of Hanalei and Princeville. My favorite restaurants are Kauai Grill at The St Regis Hotel for that special occasion dinner and BarAcuda in Hanalei. Poolside barbeque service in the afternoons (try the mixed plate), golf cart transportation to your room and around the resort and the beach.
**Fitness Center and Sundry Shop are temporarily closed.
Restaurant under renovations. The Palms building is not close by.

Reviews on Trip Advisor
-----------------
Besides saying that we will never regret choosing Kauai as our Hawaiian island of choice for our (hopefully not) once-in-a-lifetime vacation...my husband both agree that this condo unit 4222 under Joan Bettencourt's ownership was a wise gamble.
From the moment we stepped into the beautiful open-air lobby we just felt like we were dreaming and this whole vacation had to be too good to be true! It wasn't. The condo was beyond our expectations. It not only had updated furniture, but it was SO clean. Not just surface clean, but the comforters were clean...which is always a huge indicator for me of a quality vacation rental. The bed was very comfortable, our sleep was so solid.
Something that stood out as well was the fact she made sure there were AC units in both the bedroom and living room. We are AC dependent, living in a tropical area ourselves, so when most rental companies told us in Kauai the ocean breezes are so strong you don't need it, we went back and forth in deciding. We went in May and let me tell you, it does make a difference. We didn't know how good we had it until we left. We had a vacation rental directly on the ocean in Poipu and were miserable as far as the heat goes with no AC. So if you are a little more sensitive to heat it may be something to consider.
The grounds were perfect, the beach you can walk to was gorgeous and the pool area was fantastic!
Joan was easy to work with and she was extremely helpful in every way.

Why the Owner Chose Hanalei Bay Resort
Kauai is magical. You will never want to leave. When I walked in 4221/2 for the first time 30 years ago and saw Bali Hai in front of me, I knew this was paradise.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
The sunsets from the lanai will take your breathe away. The lagoon style pool with sandy bottom and waterfalls surrounding it is so peaceful and relaxing.

My dreams came true when we bought our paradise home in 2005. I truly want you to love Kauai and the North Shore as much as I do.

Randy and I could not be more pleased. The condo is gorgeous and so well equipped and the view, of course, is to die for! I'm embarrassed to say we ate sandwiches for dinner 2 nights because we couldn't pull ourselves away (and we were exhausted). Today we kayaked; we've boogie boarded, enjoyed great lunches and hiked over 4 miles round trip on the treacherous, but incredible trail along the Napali coast. My knees are still protesting. We're even in love with your CD collection! It will be interesting to compare everything here to Poipu. I can't imagine liking it any more or having as nice a place to stay as yours. We now understand all the rave reviews and will definitely return. Thank you for it all.

Hi Joan; We had a great time, Back home now. Spent a little time in the hot tub and tanned at the smaller pool. They were working on the stone paths at the larger pool so it should be pretty nice once the work is completed. We had big waves in the bay on three days and smaller rides on the rest so it was exciting and fun down on the beach Also had a great dinner at the Dolphin. Aloha

Aloha Joan, We were upset we had to leave! It was the perfect place for our vacation. The location could not have been better..our last morning we woke up to a huge rainbow stretching all the way across hanalei bay. We would love to visit again someday. Thanks for being such a great host, I am very appreciative of how welcoming you made us feel. It was fantastic, we will certainly recommend your place to our friends and family for a vacation in a place truly like no other. Many thanks and happy holidays to you and your family, Mark

Review posted on Trip Advisor Oct 1: I'll start with - we did reserve through a private party. Our hostess with the mostess, Joan, was wonderful before, during and after our stay. The good vibes started with the phone call to discuss our reservation plans. Joan was full of good advice and we chatted for almost an hour. She is really passionate about both her property (well deserved) and Kauai. All reservation items were handled professionally and without any issues. We were reserving both units and it was no issue to split the CC bill between two parties and we did know up front the timeline for everything. We had been on the south shore for a couple of days before heading north - we walked into the condo and were blown away by the amazing view! And we were surprised by the size of the condo, the pictures really do not do it justice, it was quite spacious for two couples. The beds were excellent, the sheets great (something I care about), the furninshings were great - OK, our one big complaint is that we couldn't find the dice for the Yahtzee game (haha). We did have a couple of minor issues while we were there and they were taken care of immediately (a fan not working and the HBR had to get propane to the grills). we enjoyed taking the golf cart down or back some of the time, but found the walk up or down the hill not too bad. I think there is extra O2 from all the greenery which ensures you don't get out of breath walking up hills (or have hangovers) in Kauai. Another plus that was unexpected is that we had complete privacy between the bedrooms. The condos are insulated well or something, we could not hear a thing from the other side. We also loved being close to our private pool (not really, but we pretty much had the little pool to ourselves) and BBQs. While I don't think we'll get back to Kauai for a while I would stay here again in a heartbeat. The entire experience, from reserving with the owner, to the stay and wonderful location and view could not be beat!

Condo was in perfect shape, clean and much larger then I expected. Both Bedroom and Living room were larger then I expected. Both the bed and furnishings in the living room are all really comfortable. The condo required a bit of a walk from the parking lot, but the upside of that is that it's really quiet. Only hearing the surf in the distance and the birds with the windows open. Beach below the bluff was also a walk, but with the cart in the condo it was easy to bring our stuff up and down the path. The beach was uncrowded and the snorkeling good, just to the south of where the path leads.

Ron and I returned last night from Kauai and loved our visit! Your condo was very nice and comfortable, Joan, and thank you for making our stay so nice! We especially enjoyed the gorgeous veiw from the deck and appreciated the beauty of the ocean, mountains and foliage! It was a wonderful visit, enjoying the wedding festivities of our neice and driving around the beautiful island. Many thanks again! And we hope to return someday for a visit , and I will certainly be in touch.

I am late in writing a review of our stay at Hanalei Bay Resort but I wanted Yelp fans to know what a beautiful place this is. I took some friends with me to Kauai this fall (September) and we stayed in a beautiful 2 bedroom condo owned by a private individual. I found it on VRBO. Sorry I can't find the number. It was in Palms building and the number was 4222. When you drive up to the North Shore it couldn't be more beautiful. I've stayed in Poipu a few times but the North side is just gorgeous. It is more country up that way with rolling hills and guava farms. I like that rural feel, like going to the Road to Hana. We stopped at Banana Joes to get a smoothy and then we came to Princeville. This is where Hanalei Bay Resort is. You drive past a golf course (we aren't golfers so I don't know if its any good) and we came to the resort. The staff couldn't have been nicer and they showed us to the condo in a golf cart. You can't park near your condo. We opened the door and saw the mountains and water in front of us and didn't want to leave. The condo itself is decorated very nicely (I went into a few other condos because they were having open houses and I can say this was much nicer) We could use the owners boogie boards, umbrellas, binoculars, and she even had tennis rackets. I broke a string but the pro on site fixed it for nothing. We had a great time meeting nice people at the beautiful pool (it wasn't heated thought) and at night in the hot tub. We mostly hung out at Haena State Beach (or I think it is called Tunnels Beach), Kee Beach and one day drove to Poipu to see Spouting Horn and had lunch at Brenekes. We didn't do many other things except go to the beach and see the beauty of Kauai but every night it was so nice to come back to a clean and well maintained condo with the awesome views for sunset watching. I had read a review that it was going downhill and under new ownership. What I was told by the owner is they have a new management company who is helping them clean up the mess of the last one who didn't do a good job. I saw a few things like some of the buildings could use some paint but our condo was in perfect condition. I guess it depends on where you rent? The grounds are truly beautiful. There are flowers all over, a koi pond and they light tiki torches at night. It is like old Hawaii. My friends and I have decided to come back next year.....
