The beach and ocean view and location was just amazing. It was fantastic listening to the ocean at night, and the location was only a few miles from town, but it felt like you were in a private paradise. The property was clean and beautifully apportioned. The pool was warm and very nice. The property manager checked on us several times. I would definitely return; it was just perfect and so enjoyable.

The location was amazing, just steps from the water. We wanted to feel like we were truly away and after 5 days staying there, we still had that “pinch me” feeling. We visit HI every year and I’ve lived there for several years as well. I was blown away at how awesome this spot was. Peaceful, water right outside our door, mountain back drop, friendly staff. Our kids demand we come back here next year!!

Location Location Location - truly a great location on Kuaia's North Shore. But you don't want a ground floor unit like we had. Trying to go to sleep? Good luck as Thump Thump Thump from upstairs unit of people walking around makes it tough. Up early, so are they, scrape thump scrape as chairs get dragged around upstairs. So pretty annoying, best if you don't plan on being in the unit very much. Pool area is nice, but young children can be unsupervised there so expect kids' yelling like they do in a pool.Overall it was a pretty pricey stay for the quality of the unit, but if we had an upstairs unit it would have been ok.

Beautiful location which we very much enjoyed. The unit however, was a bit musty and showed a good deal of wear due to the humidity. Without air conditioning, everything remained damp and never dried out fully. Even though they had never gotten wet, eventually our iPhones would no longer charge due to moisture being detected in their charging portals. We needed to leave a day early and check into a nice hotel in order to get better cleaned up and dry out before returning home. After a few hours our phones were again able to recharge too. Again, the Colony is in a beautiful place. Nice place to visit if you can stop and clean up somewhere else afterwards. While air conditioning was not needed temperature wise, we sure wish we had had it to get rid of the humidity, Seemed to us like a high end camping.

This was my first visit to Hawaii and it did not disappoint. We were looking for a location that was away from the crowds but close to great beaches. We also wanted to be close to the ocean for morning walks and to watch the sun rise. This spot is right next to Tunnels Beach (our new favorite) and some great hikes. This place checked off all the boxes.We are a family of 4 and had plenty of space in the condo. We look forward to returning next year!

Wonderful location at the end of the road. Quiet and peaceful. The unit was one of the few with internet TV which was appreciated for evenings when we weren't playing cards. Pool and bbq area was wonderful. We really enjoyed the off/on rain during this time of year. You can't swim here, but Tunnels is only a few minutes away.

A very nice laid-back area of the island. The beaches here are not swimmable but you are only footsteps from the ocean and the mornings are beautiful to see the sunrise from this location. Sandy Beach right outside of our lanai. Lawn chairs, umbrella and cooler are provided and there are grills available with refrigerators and sink at poolside.

beautiful location, accurately described- we really enjoyed our stay

We were looking for an out-of-the-way place with easy access to the beach. We were not interested in cooking meals so the small kitchen was not an issue. You could cook a big meal but it might be tricky. The best part was hearing the ocean, sitting on the lanai having coffee or a glass of wine. Then if you wanted, take a couple steps and you are on the beach. As stated, the place does not have AC which is typical. We were comfortable with just the breeze (January). Checkin/out super easy. Would absolutely stay here again.

We spent 4 days at the Hanalei Colony Resort, which is where this unit is. It was a good combo of a privately owned and managed unit with a resort structure, with a restaurant and grounds and maintenance crews. I’m afraid I can’t really recommend the food in the restaurant, which we found disappointing. But the unit itself was nicely furnished and the kitchen well stocked. The proximity to the ocean is great - this unit is oceanfront. And I got the best massage of my life from Ginger at the day spa there.

Everything about this property was amazing and perfect! We really didn’t see that many people on the beach and we had it to ourselves most of the time. The condo felt welcoming and had everything we could possibly need! Having a full kitchen was definitely a bonus however after a gorgeous short stroll through manicured gardens the was the convenience of a restaurant with the best poke nachos I’ve ever had. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating! We will definitely be back! Mahalo Nui Loa for this wonderful experience!

You cannot beat this place for location. Listening to the ocean waves at night (and the stars!!) was magical. We were perfectly comfortable with the unit and enjoyed the pool and mellow community. It is a bit of a drive to the places to eat in Hanalei, so best to cook your meals or commit to a bit of a commute.
