This is a beautiful property and just a short drive into town. Definitely will be staying here again.
We had a wonderful stay in this condo, it was accurately described so READ THE DESCRIPTION. Any bad reviews I’ve seen here have been by people who didn’t read and then g
Such an amazing opportunity to be right on the ocean! Very clean, great communication. If we ever come back to Kauai we will definitely stay here again!
We loved the rustic, peaceful vibe of the colony after spending a few days each in Waikiki and Kapa'a. The property is as advertised, not new and shiny, no AC or TV... everything we wanted and needed. Open air, literally steps from the water on the second floor, cooling breeze, falling asleep listening to the waves. Check in info all received ahead of time. Best unit location!! The onsite laundry is by the pool where there is also a lovely large shaded seating area with two mega grill set ups including mini fridges for dining. Great set up once you find it, lol, dont just look at the little bridge, go Over it and to the right. Laundry coins available for purchase at the office. Everyone we encountered there were friendly. Tunnels beach is just down the way a bit with breath taking views and great snorkeling (in the summer). Go EARLY for parking! If you are going to Kauai, do not miss the north - get at least to Hanalei to see the real beauty! The roads are narrow, pace is refreshingly not hectic, MaiTai's at Tahiti Nui are omg, Holey Grail donuts are very good, The Terrace (upstairs) fabulous for dinner. NaPail Catamaran coast tour - exceptional!! NaPali coast speechless! Loved our time at Hanalei Colony.
This was a hard place to leave! The proximity to the ocean was amazing. Easy check in. Great communication. Clean and comfortable property. So easy to sleep with the ocean breeze and waves lulling us to sleep. Great access to the areas hiking and beaches. Absolutely beautiful! Thank you!
Great unit with a beautiful view & nice location far on the North shore. Nice to have a restaurant on site if you need a quick bite.
Beautiful Location! Great place to stay!

This unit will have you admiring the view by day and fast asleep at night to the sound of crashing waves. It's the perfect base for exploring the sights of the north and providing a relaxing retreat to return home to.
There's no better place on Kauai. Beach front- quiet- bike to tunnels and snorkel... the best. For the price especially during the holiday this is the place to stay. We sleep each night to the sound of the ocean and woke up to beautiful sunrises. Highly recommend.

We started every morning with coffee at the table on the porch overlooking the ocean, and one morning we spent about 5 hours just sitting and reading our books. Every evening we returned to that spot to enjoy a cocktail. We loved hearing the ocean at night through the open windows as we fell asleep. It was a great getaway, and we very much enjoyed our stay!
Beautiful location on the beach, short drive into town and 20 minute walk to tunnels beach. Great view and place to stay.
No thrills but easy drives to hanalei Bay and Tunnels Beach. Our place was right on the water and could just listen to the waves all night! Can't get into the water at this location but we knew that beforehand.
The pictures match the reality -- we sat outside with wine and were watching waves fairly close to the unit.:-) It can be a minimal beach on high tide and the tide comes up to the resort rock boundary. For folks looking for a condo on a beach in the Hanalei area, this unit is a great home base. A small but functional kitchen and although no dishwasher, the starter cleaning supplies -- sponge, brushes, Dawn, made it simple to keep up with the disk washing. A comfortable bed and falling asleep to the waves... Ahhh, wish I was back there again. :-) The WIFI worked great and was specific to this unit. The door lock keycodes were nice as we didn't have to worry about losing a key in the sand or anything. With prior arrangements, the Haena state park shuttle will pick up ticket holders at the resort which was very nice. And we found the restaurant, OPAKAPAKA, next door to the resort, delicious. They can make togo food, then take it to the condo and eat outside overlooking the waves. We had a very relaxing time. :-)

F3 was exactly as pictured. We found property very clean and comfortable with everything we could possibly need. Everything was in working order with exception of one toilet running and not flusing right and one of the back small windows with wooden louvers, did not open and close completely (maybe warped from moisture?) Most likely will be returning. Would love to get ground level unit in Bld A but could not find information on it on web. Second floor was nice, but difficult to drag suitcases up. Although it was fine for my husband and I, we are not sure family with kids or even adults who are "sun worshipers" would be satisfied with the limited access to a swimming beach. It was great to listen to wave and feel breeze but we are much older...not interested in frolicking in the ocean.

We spent a week here and one in Poipu. For our taste this is the place. If you want to sleep on the 10th floor and sit around a crowded pool this is not for you. Yes, the unit could use some updating but for location and atmosphere Hanalei Colony can't be beat. WE WILL BE BACK!
