Beautiful property with amazing views
It’s a beautiful property with amazing views of the bay. The hotel is very modern, with tons of amenities. The rooms are nicely decorated with a comfortable bed, robes, slippers and everything you would need honestly. I like the smell of the shower products and lotion in the bathroom. Also loved the water bottle refill station directly in my room. I’ve never seen that anywhere else. The closet even had a yoga mat and foam roller. They had daily activities you could sign up for, some with fees, others not.
They have a good breakfast buffet with enough food options at $60 per person. Unless you eat a huge breakfast, probably not worth it. You could also order from the Neighbors cafe for something smaller and eat outside on the terrace in the morning. I liked having the options.
They have a great pool by the beach with a bar and servers coming around taking orders. Staff can also help you find a chair and get you set up. Cabana rentals were $400/day or $200/day but it honestly rains on and off that a full day didn’t make sense. Also lots of kids at the pool so not very relaxing when you’re paying $1k a night. They have an adult pool but it’s not as big. Just a good of view and also has its own bar and waiters.
There’s lots of restaurant options onsite but the one that stood out to me from the site was the terrace. You can make a reservation two weeks in advance. You’re limited to 90 minutes per reservation. I did this the first night I arrived. I booked a table on the terrace outside during sunset to get a good view and take pics. When I arrived I was sat at a table inside but on the edge of the doors leading out. I couldn’t see outside at all as there are planters blocking the view. Not a big deal, it’s still nice. But the bugs from the plants were a nuisance from the moment I sat down. (Bring bug spray!) I also didn’t get a menu and no waiter approached my table or brought me water in the 15 minutes I waited before leaving.
The walls were paper thin. I could hear the individuals in the room next to me. When they were talking, when they were doing adult things at night, and when they were packing their suitcases at 4 in the morning.
I also had zero cell service and very spotty WiFi in my room which isn’t important on vacation but I did have to remote into work at some point so the connection was a problem. It may have just been the room I was in. I had service and WiFi throughout everywhere else on property absent my room. But that also made streaming shows at night difficult. Again, not the end of the world, you don’t vacay to watch tv but would have made working easier if it worked.

Stylish with unbeatable views of nature.
Views are spectacular and it’s an amazing experience having turtles swimming around us. The rooms are stylish and comfortable. Restaurant was great with friendly staff. Beach and pool are great.
We had trouble with our keys working across two rooms which they promised would work, but after about 6 visits back to reception to fix the keys we realised they had over promised. It’s a bit of a treck to get from the reception/restaurant area to the beach using multiple elevators so if you forget something from your room it’s a pain.

World class property and staff in a spectacular beach location.
Views are unmatched.
Food is great (breakfast is good, dinner at either restaurant is excellent).
Pool and beach sunning areas are well appointed.
Excellent fitness center
At the price everything will be highly scrutinized.
Some common areas/facilities could have been cleaner/had more upkeep (some beach loungers were stained, towels in gym were often scare/unavailable)

Best resort I have ever visited
We enjoyed the presentation and the assistance checking in and carrying our luggage to the room. We loved the vip treatment and the sense of security/safety of the property. Beautiful views, delicious food, amazing staff, high quality bath products, very clean rooms and we really appreciate the special details 1 Team gave us for our Anniversary.
We were expecting to enjoy the bon fire but I guess it’s not in use anymore.

Wonderful family vacation in the best location in the island,
Wonderful and inviting design, friendly team, the location is perfect! It’s very unique to be on the ocean with the view of the mountains. Lots of the best parts of the island are nearby. Great spa and gym, all the facilities are excellent in location and maintenance.
It’s clear that a lot of thought was put in the food, but the final result was not balanced, at least for our family taste.
The food is very expensive and not fine tuned enough.
We loved the sushi and the catch of the day!

While the hotel’s setting is beautiful and we had high hopes, the overall experience didn’t meet 5-star standards. The l
We were recommended 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay by a number of people and were genuinely excited for our stay. The hotel itself is undeniably beautiful and picturesque, but as a 5-star resort, it fell short in several key areas.
We arrived at 3:30 PM (check-in is at 4 PM), and while they took our luggage and stroller to be delivered to the room (which we appreciated), we assumed we’d be heading up shortly after. Instead, the check-in process was underwhelming. The staff manager helping us seemed disinterested and told us we’d receive a text once the room was ready. We didn’t get access until 5 PM, an hour after the posted check-in time. With two young kids (5 and 1 years old), waiting around without our belongings after a long day of travel was stressful. Although the hotel offered $150 in credit for the delay, we would’ve much preferred simply getting into our room on time, something we’ve never had an issue with at other hotels, let alone a luxury hotel.
The room itself was another letdown. We booked a “Pool View Terrace Two Queens” based on the photo shown on booking.com, which featured a large deck and two sun beds, ideal for lounging while keeping an eye on the kids. What we got was a much smaller deck with just a table and two chairs, hardly enough space to enjoy. From walking around the property, it seems only a few rooms match the photo shown. The rest, like ours, should be classified differently. It felt misleading and disappointing to receive something different from what was advertised.
Dining was another challenge. While we were excited to try the restaurants, all dinner reservations were booked for the entire duration of our stay. As a family with small kids, we need some flexibility, and paying a fee for a reservation we might not be able to make wasn’t a good option. We attempted a walk-in on our first night, were told it’d be a 30 minute wait and that we’d get a text when a table was ready. That text never came, and we ended up eating at the bar.

Nice hotel but not worth the price imo
I liked most of the staff -they're friendly.
Great gym
Nice sushi restaurant
nice room
easy check in process
good beach service
The room didn't get cleaned early in the day - 1 day it got cleaned around 6pm and we had to raise it with the hotel.
The food was good, but not out of this world. Plus everything was very expensive (mother's day buffet of $145pp and it was decent - not worth the money in my opinion)
Definitely understaffed - very obvious. We had to wait ages for our bill at dinner one night and we also had an encounter with a waiter that was a bit rude (most of the staff was v nice)

It was nice but we mostly traveled the island and have spent limited time at hotel.
I would have expected better, it is a bit weak compared to the standards and price of the hotel
Food was lower than expectations, even the famous 1 Kitchen was standard

Heaven in Hawaii
Otherworldly location, very clean and new, nice restaurants/bars, great pools for adults and kids separately. Right on the beach, sunset views. Spacious rooms with calming design and lights. No plastic anywhere, sustainable concept with paper and wood etc. Many activities and things to do. Close to nature and hiking trail to beach and waterfall. Princeville has shopping opportunities.
It’s a very new hotel, and like most companies on the island, they are understaffed. This means there is some waiting in most steps like checkin, checkout, communication, restaurant etc. They also don’t have a driver yet so you need to fully organize your own travel methods, there are almost no taxis/uber.
Of course, everything is quite pricey. but worth it!

We will be back!
The location, quality of the renovation, rooms, pools and views were perfect! Some of the classes we participated in were also very fun. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. It was the best check-in experience that I have had!
They are still a bit short staffed. The food is just above average and could be better to match the high quality of the property.

This was a luxury experience at 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay and we’d seek out more 1 Hotels in other spots.
This was a 5 star hotel and experience! The food was excellent - especially Welina Terrace. It felt like an experience to be here, but just a hotel stay.
The only time we had poor service was the two times we went to 1Kitchen. We had the same waitress both times and she hardly tended to our table.

Great location
Outstanding views, great pool, restaurant, bar and beach.
The room was big, nice bathroom, comfortable bed. Just A bit old, musty smell in the halls and the room. Parking was not included (35 dollars per night). Overall, I would have expected more for that price.

It's a fabulous hotel. The view is honestly the best thing about it.
The view is unbelievable. I don't think you could find a comparable one in all of Hawaii. We had a VIP manager, Robert, who texted us and kept us abreast of the things that we were offered as part of the hotel. It was very nice to have someone at all hours to text and ask for something.
The building was a little outdated. I heard from one of the staff members that it is going to be renovated in May of this year though, so that will be an improvement. The food also wasn't stellar for the price.

Views, pool, yoga, paradise
I loved the morning yoga, that was one of my highlights for sure, the teachers were great, the yoga space, views, ambience was the best, such a great way to start the day!!
I loved the pool area, gorgeous views and beach.
Lots of things to see within walking distance, or a short drive.
The service was excellent everywhere, from poolside to checkin to valet and more.
The pool was wonderful. The views were inspiring! We loved our stay!
The yoga was top knotch!!! But the only criticism I have is that the mats were kind of sweaty smelling, they should wipe them down with a nice essential oil cleaner!
My only other critique is that I would rather see ocean-friendly straws instead of plastic. Save the turtles!

Bel endroit, vue magnifique mais le personnel n est pas à la hauteur du lieu surtout dans les espaces restauration
La localisation, la vue, le style, la décoration, le confort de la chambre
Le personnel surtout dans les espaces restauration: il faut insister pour être servi, les serveurs semblent éviter le regard des clients, ils ne prennent pas le temps d écouter le client et il y a des erreurs dans les commandes. Le ménage laisse à désirer dans les espaces communs comme autour de la piscine ( transat inoccupés avec serviettes sales), canapé de la salle de restaurant comportant des taches. Les interactions avec le personnel manquent de fluidité, on a l impression de déranger.

這個價位我只能說住一次體驗看看就好
整個飯店地點可以看到的view非常厲害👍🏻有私人海灘跟多種泳池還有活動可在飯店內選擇
1. Wi-Fi非常弱!時不時還會斷線連不到⋯
2. 洗澡水壓很小,沒有洗起來讓人感到舒壓。
3. Valet parking的服務人員態度不是很好,都用命令式的語氣在跟你說話,感覺得到他的不耐煩。
4. 餐點表現不是五星級飯店該有的水準
