We loved the location. The beach access is amazing as well as the calm and less resorty and natural feel. Highly recommend!

The unit and the property were both perfect! Staff were great too, as we were all dealing with some effects of a winter storm. We are going back as a family in the summer I liked it there so much!

There were some snacks on arrival, which was nice. The pool and hot tub are nice, and laundry is in that building (but we did have someone take our clothes out and use our washer, and management just kinda said “that stinks.”). It’s coin operated only and there’s no change machine.The condo was dated, and people tried to dress it up with some new bedding and furniture. Not all of the outlets and lights worked, and two of the fan lights would randomly come on at night, waking everyone up. The one fan was unable to be turned off at all. The management at the colony made it very clear we were “outsiders” by booking via vrbo.There is no AC and it is a bit musty in there, lots of dust on the blinds and dividers. No true privacy between rooms. I don’t think you can actually call this two bedrooms.Hanalei is really far North and after a fallen tree one night, we had to wait a few hours before we could get back. It’s also super dark, windy, single lane bridges at night. We were ok with that, but something to keep in mind.As long as you’re not expecting a posh place, it’s fine if you like it up North, and are ok with it just being a stopping area between adventures. It’s nice it’s so close to tunnels beach and you can beat the crown there.Overall, it felt safe, but it wasn’t what we were expecting based on the pics.

Very clean and quiet. Great location. Outlets in bathrooms did not work. Staff very friendly. Kitchen clean and well stocked with cookware, but very few consumables. A bit stingy on the number of towels we were allowed to use ( rather strange)

We booked this for our anniversary and the host had a note and little gift greeting us to the place. The room where was outstanding – from the minute we walked in until we left. The lanai overlooks Shipwreck beach, and it was delightful to watch the sun rise every morning. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay - very comfortable bed and we loved having the AC for our bedroom at night. We would come back to this unit on future trips.

Good property at a great location and a great price. Wish the property mangers were more available to communicate with us during the stay.

We really enjoyed our stay. The location right next to the beach was very convenient. It was within a long walking distance from tunnels beach via the road and more tiring but much more scenic walk along the beach and just a short drive from Hanalei. The condo and the complex are older but they've done a good job of maintaining and renovating things as is expected to be needed this close to the beach. The railing on the porch was in the process of being replaced while we were there. One issue that needs to be taken care of is the ceiling fan/light remotes. Once we had neighbors in the condo unit above us they were turning on and off randomly at times. It's likely an easily fix of just changing the frequency/channel the remotes and units operate on but it does need to be addressed so the lights stay off or on when you want them that way. The place has lots of windows and 3 separate fans which are important to keep air flow and keep the place comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay and would likely go back as long as the ceiling fan light control issue is taken care of.

We had a great experience at the Hanalei Colony Resort. It is located in a beautiful part of Kauai's north shore, a short distance from my favorite beach Tunnels. The condo came stocked with everything we needed for our trip, from beach chairs, umbrella, cooking utensils, etc. and it was very spacious for me and my husband.Our ONLY note would be that you could hear the upstairs neighbors walking around and it was disturbing at times (e.g. trying to go to sleep). No problems with other tenants, but just think the downstairs is prone to noise / footsteps from the upper units.It was a wonderful stay and we would stay here again!

The property is absolutely beautiful, clean and the grounds were well kept. The location is quiet and removed from the hustle and bustle but plenty to do with beaches and hiking all around. The staff were friendly and helpful. We had an issue with the lights and maintenance fixed them right away. We will definitely return.

Reviewer Comments:
This condo location cannot be beat. The unit itself is dated, does not have a dish washer, but in overall good condition. Benefits are proximity to the ocean and endless beach to explore. If you are looking for luxury, this is not the place. It is a good condo to use as home base when exploring this side of the island. A few cockroaches found in the unit, although to be expected on island. Management is not responsive, and if you ask for assistance in the office on site they will not help. They will refer you direct to the management company.
