My wife and I both really liked this place, it's close to the end of the road, quiet, secluded, and has great views and accessibility to the beach. We were actually able to unwind and enjoy our vacation without TV or internet or tons of tourists. We got in to our room, turned off our cellphones and had a great... more

We arrived late at night and the check in was simple, they left the keys in night box and next thing we knew we were in our beautiful second story condo listening to the ocean gently crash on the sand a few hundred feet from our room! The view from our room was amazing, especially laying in bed and being... more

My wife and I stayed here on the second leg of our Hawaiian honeymoon. We stayed at a resort - the Grand Hyatt in Poipu first, and the Hanalei Colony Resort was PERFECT to mix it up! We booked a premium oceanfront room which was literally on the beach and 10 feet from the water. Every morning we woke up... more

First things first. These are not luxury condos. They are not elegant condos. What HCR has going for it are the 3 most important things in the hospitality business....LOCATION, LOCATION, and...you guessed it. Best on the north shore. Premium oceanfrontsare right on the beach. Fantastic views and tradewinds. Service-spotty, restaurant/bar- average, poo/spa- average...again, it's all about location. more

HCR, after our 12 nights there, is now my family's relaxing vacation destination. He had been to Kauai's North shore 3 times previously and fell in love with it. But previously, we had stayed in Princeville, the tourism center of the North Shore. This year, based on a tip from a couple on Tunnels beach, we tried HCR, and it... more

We LOVED our trip to Hanalei Colony Resort! We stayed in I-4, which had wonderful ocean views. This place is perfectly unplugged... no TVs, no phones, but we could access the internet from our phones with no problems. If you are looking for something posh, though, this is not your place. When we first got to our condo, it was... more

I absolutely LOVED staying here. Had a great vibe and perfect location for what we were looking for. We didn't want the "resort experience" of a man made paradise creation or the kitschy tourist feel. fyi, they don't have a great pool/jacuzzi set up, but we weren't there for that. We wanted to experience the raw natural beauty and magic... more

We stayed 5 nights at the Hanalei Colony Resort while on our honeymoon. In general, it's nothing spectacular to look at, but I think really it's all about location on the North Shore. HCR is located on the beach close to Ha'ena (and lots of hiking trails), and it's just beautiful! More quiet than Hanalei (just a short drive away),... more

We booked this place after reading mostly good reviews on tripadvisor but overall we were disappointed with our stay here, mainly because the unit we got was a dump (others may have had better experience). Pros: - Beach is near (rocky and not swimmable) - Quiet and can be relaxing (No TV in the units does make for a more... more
