Hanalei Bay Resort 9305 (Hanalei Bay Hideaway) AC!

We stayed here for three nights as a family of four, and it was the perfect way to start our Kauai vacation before heading to the south side of the island.The views are absolutely breathtaking—truly some of the most incredible we've ever experienced. Waking up to the ocean and mountain scenery each day was unforgettable. If you're looking for peace, serenity, and spectacular views without paying 1 Hanalei prices, this is the place to stay.The property was well maintained and conveniently located, with easy access to beaches, restaurants, and all the adventures we had planned. Everything we wanted to do was just a short drive away.One tip for future guests: definitely take advantage of the golf cart service. It's incredibly helpful for getting to the beach and transporting luggage and groceries between your car and the condo.We loved our stay and would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for an amazing Kauai experience with unbeatable views, a peaceful atmosphere, and a great location.

Great host, very responsive. Incredible view. We enjoyed the games he provided in the condo. Very well equipped kitchen, high quality utensils and cookware. He provided an array of spices, not just salt, pepper, and olive oil. Perfect for the 4 of us!

Very nice and staff were very helpful. Beautiful location!!

Broken fridge, cockroaches, and noisy neighbors. The fridge died sometime the day before we checked in so that, while it was somewhat cold, by the following morning it was not. We contacted the owner and although he was polite and found a fridge to replace the broken one, it didn't happen until the 4th day of our stay and the only way to keep anything cold was a leaking soft cooler in the bathroom closet. He offered nothing in terms of compensation even though we lost groceries and had to eat out for so many unplanned meals. We also woke up on the first morning to German cockroaches all over the bedroom and bathroom and the owner came and placed roach traps all over. It did help lessen the amount of visible roaches but German cockroaches are tiny and impossible to get rid of with traps alone. Like other reviews have said it can be noisy. The walls are thin and if anyone is noisy in the adjoining units or outside (as they were multiple times) it feels as though it's right inside your unit with you. The parking can suck, in the evening the restaurants get busy and there can be literally zero parking anywhere.Listen, if you like the view it can't be beat... But if you're like us and want a chill vacation and don't care about resort amenities then save your money and find a different place, or spend just a little more and get a private house or something. This just wasn't worth it at all for the price. Expensive lesson learned.
