Gorgeous views. Sleep to crashing waves. On site restaurant Gaia is excellent. The condo is not new ... its worn. Everything works, we loved it, but if your accustom to 4 or 5 star hotels you need to lower the bar a bit.
The ocean view was great from the lanai! - great location and very convenient to all the sites on the north shore! Having the coffee shop and restaurant on the premises was a great bonus. We enjoyed our stay at this older hotel that continues to be well maintained.
The location is perfect! Enjoyed the deck, the kitchen, the living room, and 2 bathrooms! There were ample towels and 2 beach chairs and an umbrella provided. We loved the constant sound of the ocean and the quietness of our neighbors.
This is a beautiful secluded rental right on the beach. It is a bit rustic with minimal amenities but you donât need much when you are on the beach. Be aware that it is past the Hanalei bridge which has a possibility of flooding and closing the road. This was a stressor for our stay since we were there during an unusual Kona storm, but the bridge remained open and we were told it rarely happens. Overall I recommend if you are looking for a more secluded vacation.
Overall reviews of this property from others are pretty acurate with these additional comments about our stay: -The wonderful view of the ocean was spoiled by dirty windows and screens. -A strong septic/sewer smell around the building at times depending on the breeze.
The views from the second floor deck are fabulous. Although there was no AC, the ceiling fans were very good circulating air. The bed was comfortable. The remote location is a good setting. Pool area redone and very nice. Restaurant was closed. The condo is old and not updated. Window seals broken and inoperative window closures. Kitchen marginal. We will not be staying here again.
The resort property is well maintained, quiet, and beautiful. The staff was friendly. We loved having breakfast on the porch every morning listening to the waves and watching the misty rain. Snorkeling gear was provided and Tunnels Beach was close. Absolutely wonderful.
Our stay was everything we hoped for. The view was fantastic, and the unit was nice and well-stocked with cooking supplies and recreational gear. We swam at the beach just west of the complex, it was safe in most conditions and there was some nice coral. Dinner at the Opakapaka was great. We have real affection for this place now and hope to return sometime.
Phenomenal location and beautiful condo! Spacious, great floor plan (the âroomsâ are on opposite sides), plenty of sitting room all with direct views of the ocean. The kitchen was well stocked for a family that likes to cook. Plenty of towels and a ton of beach equipment for our family of three. Ashley quick walk to the beach area to the left, was better snorkeling than Tunnels Beach. Hanalei Bay is about a 10 minute drive and it had fantastic food, shopping, lots of boutiques, and plenty of rentals for the day. Others commented that the condo was outdated. It was one of the original resorts on that end of the island. Iâm thankful it hasnât been updated to todayâs modern style. I would lose the local island charm, and the prices would double! They only updates that would be nice. Would be new beach chairs. But you can rent Tommy Bahamas from one of the shops in Hanalei for four dollars a day.
Beautiful locationâŠamazing viewsâŠsea breezes.If you are looking for a busy or wild property, this is not for you. We enjoyed the space of the apartment, the restaurant/bar and the pool/hot-tub. Did I mention the viewâŠand the north coast location? I hope to be back
Incredible views from the balcony/ deck overlooking the Pacific Ocean!!! Fantastic location with close proximity to Tunnels Beach, Haena SP, Napali SP, and the town of Hanalei. Beautiful resort property with a restaurant as well as a massage therapist within a 1 minute walk. We had a beachside couples massage that was AMAZING!!!!
Overall we enjoyed the condo . A storm came in and we lost power off and on which made it difficult to cook or charge phones. Also the condo is remote and so there were concerns we could be stranded if bridge went out. The remoteness also made it nice because there were no crowds or lines. Just know that to get to a town itâs an15 min drove.
Awesome spot right next to the waves. If you're not into salt spray or the sound of the ocean, you might go elsewhere, but there's no better complex on the northshore if you want to get close to the ocean action. Staff was helpful in the check-in process, and we didn't need anything during our stay. The louver dividers and kitchen bar could use some attention, but it must be a chore to stay ahead of the salt in the air from being so close to the surf. Would strongly recommend, and would stay again!
The units are comfortable and dated. Our unit was clean and also difficult to see out windows due to humidity, and salt build up (which I imagine is difficult to combat due to location). We enjoyed our stay but would be unlikely to return to this location.
A stunningly beautiful spot right on the beach. Woke up to the most amazing sunrises each morning. Walked for miles along the shore each day..this is a place that is simple and quite breathtaking. The accomodation had really patchy wifi, no tv, no aircon and no dishwasher but none of that mattered because it was such an opportunity to unplug and just watch the beauty around you. Beds were comfortable, place was spotless and the restaurant on the property was fabulous. Hosts were wonderfully responsive and we had a fantastic few days.
I stay on the north shore once a year. This was a wonderful location I haven't tried before but really enjoyed. Access to the beach was wonderful. The Kalalau trail is my favorite and very nearby. And the restaurant/bar is great for no necessary designated driver! Ha! The team was very easy to communicate with and the space was great!
Hanalei Colony Resort is an incredible property. Beautiful grounds and great location. The view from unit J3 is just spectacular. The unit could use some updating but very comfortable.
