In May, my husband and I took a 15 day, 4 island Hawaiian vacation. Kauai and Hanalei Colony Resort ranked as our favorites. The resort is located right on the northern shore of Kauai and the views are incredible! Scrimp somewhere else and upgrade to the Premium Ocean Front! We were in G building and had the most spectacular views. Some reviewers complained there was no air conditioning--we were there at the end of May and we were quite comfortable with opening the windows and enjoying the ocean breezes. While the units are older, they were meticulously maintained and super clean. Views and cleanliness are always at the top of my list and I can't say enough positives things about this resort. Jean was incredibly helpful in helping me book our stay. My husband has celiac disease, so we always appreciate a kitchen. I would recommend either the chain supermarket in Hanalei, or even more, Hanalei Market for specialty items. For us, having a kitchen minimized trying to find celiac friendly places to eat. We stayed in five hotels on our trip, and this is THE PLACE I would return to for another visit. I wish we had allowed more time here and on Kauai! We did not eat in the restaurant, but I enjoyed the coffee at the cafe in the mornings. We did not use the pool, although it looked lovely. We did use the laundry facilities which we very much appreciated as we set off on the next part of our journey. Overall, this place was just fantastic! Highly Recommend!!!

“Recommended option if you are looking to get away from the resort crowd”

We were looking for a few days of peace and serenity in a beautiful setting before heading to the Grand Hyatt Poipu. The place delivered as advertised for our family of 5 with our kids ranging from 16 to 9yo. The resort is north of Hanalei so not that well traveled. The units were well appointed ... lisää

We were looking for a few days of peace and serenity in a beautiful setting before heading to the Grand Hyatt Poipu. The place delivered as advertised for our family of 5 with our kids ranging from 16 to 9yo. The resort is north of Hanalei so not that well traveled. The units were well appointed but no air conditioning. The rooms were not as nice as a 4 star hotel but you are paying more for the location. The evenings were cool so no AC wasn’t a real issue. The pool is a bit small but fine for my family as it was not busy. Overall a great place if you are looking to get away from the resort crowd with close access to multiple amazing beaches.

“Ben Stantons review of the Hanalei Colony Resort”

We stayed at the Hanalei Colony Resort and loved every minute of it. We loved how perfect my placed on the North Shore it is, surrounded by picturesque views pretty much anywhere you look.

“Amazing, as always”

We have been going to HCR since the early 90s. We were so happy to return for the first time since the catastrophic flooding in 2018. We were very moved by the central role the staff (including the owner of Opakapaka) played in the community after the flooding, and grateful to the owners for stay... lisää

We have been going to HCR since the early 90s. We were so happy to return for the first time since the catastrophic flooding in 2018. We were very moved by the central role the staff (including the owner of Opakapaka) played in the community after the flooding, and grateful to the owners for staying the course until HCR could reopen. We are amazed how the staff juggle management and maintenance of the property (shout out to Lehua who manages the housekeeping and Chawake who manages the office staff) given the staffing challenges that are facing the entire island. The office staff is super busy yet efficient and helpful. The units are simple but very clean and comfortable—and yes, thankfully, no A/C. We prefer not having housekeeping disturbing us all the time, and additional linens are always available. I appreciate some may want more “luxurious” or different type of accommodations and/or other amenities, and the island has other resorts for those situations. But this is a special place, and we go there because of the extraordinary setting and the people. We had a great experience, as always, and really look forward to returning next year.
