It was a nice quiet resort with not a lot of people around which was nice for our honeymoon. I didn’t realize how far north the resort is and far from a lot of the activities we wanted to do. The unit was perfect for us but it definitely was outdated. The main bathroom shower head was terrible. It was really close to a private beach but not really safe for swimming due to the waves.

Our stay at Hanalei Colony Resort was nothing short of exceptional—an easy 10/10! From the moment we arrived, we knew we had found a truly special place. If you’re looking for peace, relaxation, and the authentic beauty of Kauai, this is it.

The location is absolutely breathtaking. Waking up to the lush mountains, listening to the waves, and enjoying the cool trade winds made every day feel like paradise. The climate was perfect for us—comfortable temperatures, fresh ocean breezes, and just enough tropical rain to keep everything incredibly green and beautiful.

The entire staff was warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful throughout our stay. Every interaction made us feel like valued guests, and their hospitality added so much to our experience.

We completely fell in love with Hanalei and the North Shore. The slower pace of life, stunning scenery, amazing food, and friendly people made it incredibly difficult to leave. It was exactly the kind of relaxing vacation we had hoped for.

Hanalei Colony Resort provided the perfect escape from busy everyday life. Whether we were enjoying the views from our lanai, exploring the area, or simply unwinding, every moment felt peaceful and rejuvenating.

We are already planning our return trip next year. Thank you to everyone at Hanalei Colony Resort for making our vacation so memorable. We can’t wait to come back!

The resort was lovely in every way; on the beach, had vans that would take you back and forth to town, beautiful setting, well decorated suites, and helpful staff. We loved our room so much that we cooked in two nights instead of eating out; we had the best view right from our room!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hanalei colony resort.
The staff was amazing! I made a mistake booking something, and they worked frantically to make sure that we made it. The shuttle service is an amazing perk that you should definitely take advantage of.
I was not expecting the room to not have an air conditioner, but, leaving the Windows/screen door open, made the room completely comfortable.
The property landscaping is gorgeous.
It’s a great location to get to so many attractions/beaches/shopping/food/etc.
If we ever go back to Kauai, we will definitely be booking here again!

Wonderful staff and wonderful stay.

The key feature is the use of the shuttle van - Keith was fantastic and took me to Limahuli Gardens, to Hanalei for dinner, and to the farmers market on Saturday morning which meant I didn't have to hunt for parking in any of those locations.

The restaurant - Gaia - is now open. The food was really good - I liked the ube manapua and you can't go wrong with Unko's chicken. The service was a little slow, but I think the restaurant had only been open for about a week. Just a note - it was BYOB at the time that I went there.

An absolutly gorgeous place to stay. Right along the beach with stunning sunrises. It was a wonderful stay, the staff there are so very kind and friendly. If you are looking for a true Kauai experience that is not super comercial then this is the place to be.

With that being said there were a few issues warranting the 4 stars. First with there being no A/C (which we LOVED) there are sometimes bugs, and we had the unfortunate experience of having some roaches in the kitchen in the mornings. Only very few and quickly taken care of by us. The other issue was the hot tub being out of order; quite a bummer and not disclosed before our stay, water was luke warm at best. Mattresses a bit firm. Housekeeping was asked to come and unfortunately did not come when asked and we were without towels 1 night.

Again, beautiful and great location. I would stay here again despite the few issues. The staff were so sweet and their little coffee shop and boutique are great! We loved our stay it was unforgettable!

Our stay was perfect. The staff at HCR made us feel very welcome and at home. The after hours check in was super easy too!

The room (D1) we had overlooked the entire courtyard to the ocean. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, dishes and pots and pans. I would say if you are considering preparing a lot of your own food, bring a sharp knife. We also would suggest replacing the dustpan in D1. The room was clean, well maintained and very comfortable.
The coffee shop was also a real treat. Wonderful people making wonderful coffee and lots of beautiful artwork to peruse as well. We sampled the pool, hot tub, the coffee house, the secret restaurant that we will never forget. It was truly an unforgettable experience. The staff on the resort were all kind, welcoming and gracious with their time.
The beach….. it was beautiful the entire time. Whether it was raining and windy or warm and sunny, everyday the beach delivered. We cannot wait to go back!! Thank you HCR!!

Beautiful location and wonderful staff. Was disappointed to pay a resort fee when the restaurant and bar were closed for renovations, the hot tub jets were not working, and the shuttle was out of service 2 of the 4 days we were there. The location was a little remote but downtown Hanalei is not too far and worth the drive. Princeville is not a bad drive either to visit. Would definitely stay again. Loved the resident cat, Leo.

I really fell for this place! It’s rustic and quaint and a little rough around the edges in a way that gives it a quirky charm that is uniquely its own. My best photos from my trip were all taken at the hotel on their insanely beautiful beach that honestly feels like a private beach. I began every morning sitting under the stars watching the sun come up. Tunnel beach is walkable from the hotel and has a STUNNING sunset. It’s removed from the town in a way that makes it feel remote, but is close enough to get into town to shop or eat. I will miss this place a lot and will absolutely be back. We left this morning for Maui where we’re staying at a resort that is three times the price and we’d SO much rather be back at Hanalei Colony Resort.

Our 2 Rooms were very outdated, restaurant closed so being located so far from town you really noticed that. Location beautiful, renovated pool is gorgeous, office staff helpful, made arriving at midnight convenient with a lockbox. Coffee shop really nice feature to have, could use more snack or small meal options while restaurant closed. Walking distance to the state park and famous trail but guests should be made aware that to enter that park a permit must be purchased 30 days in advance. It’s why we chose this location so we were heartbroken to learn we couldn’t hike there.

Staff kept giving inconsistent responses. Offered to help but never did. Mat for front door requested at beginning of stay; requested again mid stay. Never delivered (I watched front desk person write it down).
Housekeeping lack-luster. One clean up for a 6-night stay is insufficient. Bath towels replenished only once during a 6-night stay. No restaurant on site per listed amenities. No yoga on site per listed amenities. Except for the shuttle service (shuttle staff who were exceptional), no amenities at all for a \"resort\". Repeated line from front desk staff was, \"we are a resort not a hotel\" as if this excused the lack of amenities.
Booked the highest category room for 3 people and paid extra for that person, and yet the room assigned was the only room (out of 4 booked by our group, in lower categories) that didn't have a second shower.

Listed as a VIP hotel but no welcome VIP drink, no offer offer of early or late checkout. Any inconsistencies we identified, the staff said was Expedia's fault not theirs.

A beautiful location and property. Wonderful pool area and amazing beachfront experience. Watching the sunrise and sunset over the ocean at the beach was fantastic.
They have a shuttle service that is included in your stay, making it very easy to drink responsibly in town and come back safely. Or go to one of the nearby beaches where parking is nearly impossible.
The room was homey, well supplied with the basics, includes beach chairs and umbrella, and has great airflow. However, we did encounter massive cockroaches (2-3 inches long approximately) near the kitchen area. We know animals are a part of the experience when visiting the garden isle. The geckos seen on the balcony were fun. And the kittens on the property were very cute.
Another animal experience were the American bullfrogs that cover the area. The noise they make at night is loud and constant. A sound similar to a washing machine running in the next room. It’s impractical to close the windows and doors because of the weather, so bring earplugs.
There were multiple power outages at the resort during our stay, luckily, we were either just about to leave or it happened at night when we were asleep, so it didn’t affect us too much.
The service was great, when available. The office is not open at night, and sometimes is not open during posted hours. Although everyone was very accommodating, very welcoming, and super friendly.

If you’re looking to be in nature and get away, this is the right place.

The staff and property are amazing, but the location ended up being the best part. Kauai is beautiful everywhere, but the north shore area around HCR really takes the cake! Great, quiet beaches and a variety of things to do close by (but HCR is also far enough away that you don't feel like you're in a heavy tourism area). The shuttle service makes getting around easy but the staff also has good local knowledge/tips if you want to drive yourself. Don't think we'll stay anywhere else on Kauai now that we've found this gem.

I loved staying at HCR! I was staying in Kauai for 10 days, and decided to stay there for 3 days, and the other 7 elsewhere, but in hindsight I wished I had stayed at HCR for 7 and the other for 3.

It's a really cool little property with condos next to a primo beach. Staff is super-friendly and helpful. The property is gorgeous. I love that it had a really good restaurant and coffee shop on premise, and then you're a short drive away from a picturesque little town where there are a lot more amenities.

In your condo you get a full kitchen, nice bathroom, and if you are on the 2nd floor you get a great little porch. I found it so relaxing there, and would definitely stay there again next time I'm in Kauai.

Great Spot for an 'Away from It All Retreat'

This is a very well-maintained property at a beautiful location. The interior decoration is 'old school.' The inside arrangement of the unit we stayed in included a private bedroom, another sitting room that could be used as a separate single bedroom, a studio couch in the living room, and two full baths (one shower was a bit small). This was all very well done and provided good privacy with sliding screens. The Hollywood kitchen is well equipped. Some visitors will be put off by the lack of radio/television/stereo and air conditioning. However, air conditioning is certainly not necessary here in the winter months. Also note that the beach, while nice to sit on and look at, is not swimmable. There are great beaches nearby. The community pool is brand new and very well done, if a bit small. The fact that there is a restaurant/bar on-property is convenient. Seniors, please note that steep stairs are needed to get to the upper units. This is not convenient especially if you are carrying luggage, groceries, etc. Seniors may wish to avoid staying in the upper units. Bring books, Kindles, tablets, and MP3s with your music because, as mentioned, there are no entertainment devices in the units. Internet is available.

This is a lovely property in the most gorgeous part of the island. I do think the units are in need of a renovation. It has the potential to be incredible. It's in a super quiet and beautiful area and the staff are wonderful but the units are very dated

The property is oceanfront and the grounds are lovely. The rooms are dated and used. The property hosted people and first responders after the floods and it shows. The restaurant feels more like a community space than a restaurant, the check-in staff person was nonplussed. The general area can’t be beat though, Hanalei is beautiful.

Would stay again - partial ocean view

Beautiful, beach front location. Quiet area on the ocean. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Not much in the way of amenities (grocery / restaurants) right near by. Must travel to Hanalei to purchase supplies / food for the fridge. The only issue we had was the overhead lights. Multiple times during the stay the lights would turn on by themselves - they turned on at 5am and again around 9-10pm, both times we were sleeping. It could be the sensors in the other rooms or some other issue. The restaurant was ok. Wasn’t anything spectacular but the service was decent and the views were worth it. We would stay here again.

This property is by far my favorite place to stay on Kauai. Some people may not like the fact that there is no TV or AC and it is not considered what goes for a resort now days, but this is exactly what makes it so special, we particularly liked the kitchen, the view and the kitties. Of course being right on the ocean does help. The staff is amazing, we adore Sierra at the front desk, Max our driver, and Steven, the manager, each one so responsive to our needs, they made us feel like family. Our trip was too short! We will be back.

This is a great resort. It is at the end of the road on the north side so own transportation is essential. Very close to many beaches. Plan ahead and get reservations for the trail,a day of great hiking,beaches,and snorkeling. No a/c or tv, but was there a week and did not miss it. Plan plenty of drive time to activities on south and west side of island,traffic is just bad anywhere on the island. The restaurant and coffee shop at the resort is great.

Great location let down by customer service.

Loved the location and views, but I was wishing for Aircon in such a hot and humid climate! Also lack of TV is disappointing, everything in the area shuts down at 9pm, can't sit out on the balcony because it's pitch black and usually windy. For these reasons I'd rate it 3star apart from the fact I found the front of house team a disaster area, miserable \"Aunty\" and having booked the complimentary shuttle to our wedding 3 months in advance and confirming the day before, the bride was 4 minutes late and the shuttle drove off in front of us! Because they had a \"mix up\" and double booked the farmers market and couldn't wait!! Unfortunately it's 2 star rating from me for that reason.

Best location

Location location. North shore Kauai is our favorite area in all of Hawai’i and Hanalei colony resort s the best spot. Quiet, green and lush and the beautiful water steps away. The condo is spacious and comfortably furnished. The staff are personable, happy to help and the shuttle service is a huge bonus. Shuttling to our favorite beach of tunnels was so easy as there is very limited parking. Can’t wait to come back.
