This is a very beautiful condo and we loved staying there. Everything inside is lovely and new, beautifully decorated, and the view from the lanai is amazing. We loved having breakfast out there, watching the birds and listening to the waves. The resort grounds were very nice and swimming in the pool was fantastic. I would love to stay here again!

Everything was wonderful... the condo was beautifully decorated, very comfortable, well-stocked, and the view from the lanai was breathtaking. It would have been good to have a broom and/or vaccum cleaner in the unit, though. But the only real problem we had was some inconsiderate neighbors from time to time, people smoking on their lanais, parents letting their children yell and play on their lanai as early as 6:00 am, a group of young women laughing and talking loudly outside on the lawn at well past 11:00 pm. When we politely asked them to take their conversation inside, they were rude and told us we should shut our own doors. We did not come to Kauai to shut ourselves up in a stuffy condo, but to enjoy the sights, sounds, smells and solitude of paradise so this was a real disappointment. Maybe the quiet time hours need to be stressed more during the check in process? Nevertheless, we will be back - and none too soon! Thank you!

Fabulous updated condo with everything you need stocked (any kitchen tool you need, ziplocks, soap, detergent, foil, saran wrap, coffee filters, etc...oh and beach chairs and cooler were key!) Pack and play in the closet too - we don't have kids but if you do, a huge plus. Great a/c, beautiful furnishings, huge flatscreen HDTV/Blu Ray, nice kitchenware, good linens/towels, laundry, nice patio furniture, iHome clock/stereo in both rooms, comfy bed, spotless condo. The view FAR surpasses the photos - the ocean is much closer than it appears in pics and you can hear the pounding waves as you watch the sunset over Bali Hai from the balcony every night. We arrived in the dark and literally gasped at the view the next morning once we realized how awesome it was. The condo company was easy to work with and left a great gift basket in the condo. Directions were perfect, check in took 2 minutes, property was gorgeous and totally renovated, pool/jacuzzi luxurious with waterfalls, walk to beach was 5 minutes on a neat path through the trees. The beach was gorgeous! (And we are from Florida!) St. Regis next door has wonderful restaurants that you can use as well (Jean Georges Kauai Grill was awesome.) North shore is the BEST! I cannot imagine staying on the south shore once I've seen the north. Incredibly beautiful, not crowded or touristy, and the Princeville complex is great. Super running trails, nice mixed use community (houses, villas, condos, resort, golf courses, playgrounds, good grocery store, etc.) Hanalei town very close with many good restaurants too. Easy to drive all over the island as it is small but renting a car is a must. We travel a lot and highly recommend this place! Absolutely FABULOUS condo in a ridiculously wonderful setting! :) Don't think twice - book it! We'd return in a heartbeat!

I grew up on a house on the beach Oahu so I have pretty high expectations for a vacation spot anywhere in Hawaii. We (my husband and two kids ages and 12) loved staying at the Hanalei Bay Resort - esp. at condo 6203. But we really hope our review doesn't mean that we won't be able to stay there next time we go to Kauai because its booked! Great service from the manager who came within an hour when we arrived and weren't able to find the inflatable bed for our kids to sleep on. She not only drove over and pulled it out of a locked closet but even inflated the bed for us - and offered to put the sheets on (we told her that wasn't necessary!) The condo has been beautifully remodeled - the only area that can use an upgrade is the kitchen but it was absolutely fine for our 4 night stay.

The condo and Hanalei Bay Resort exceeded our expectations. The furnishings were beautiful, we especially loved the outdoor patio furniture. It was so much nicer than what most of the other units had. The kitchen was well stocked with all the cooking/dining items we needed. We had a wonderful trip and hope to return to this condo again on our future trips to Kauai.

From the moment we entered 6203 HBR we felt we were at home. Was a nice touch that the air conditioning was on for us when we arrived (did not have to enter a stuffy/stifling condo). The condo well very clean and well-kempt. It was very well appointed with everything one would need on an island vacation. We did leave a couple of suggestions on a note pad upon our departure Kristen gave us an excellent rate and was excellent to communicate with. We felt so comfortable there that we are definitely planning to return in two years to celebrate our 19th anniversary (that is if she can book that far ahead).

The Resort, Property Management Company and Unit were all top notch and I would recommend this unit to anybody. The vista from the living room and bedroom is second to none.

Great condo! Very comfortable! My wife and I like the Hanalei Bay Resort. We missed not having the Happy Talk Lounge and Restaurant open but other then that everything was good except the roosters (JK)!

The resort is quiet b/c the parking is all in the front. The pool areas are beautiful. This condo is wonderfully decorated and has a great view of the bay. The balcony is not private but is fine for hanging out. The pool and tennis courts are steps away. To get down the beach is a 5 min walk through a pretty tunnel of greenery. The shopping center on the main road would be a bit far of a walk but possible; it's only a 5 min drive.

We had a wonderful time here. The resort is beautiful. It was very well maintained and the landscaping was excellent. The staff was friendly and helpful. 6203 was in perfect condition, had everything we needed, and extra touches that made our stay special. We especially loved the lanai with the gorgeous view. The bed was very comfortable and everything inside was spotless. It's a very short walk to the pool, down to the beach (steep, but not too long).
