My husband and I spent a week here in March. The Banyan Harbor may not be a 5-star resort, but it is definitely very clean, the staff is friendly, and the location is great. This was our first time in Kauai and we enjoyed staying at this centrally located resort. We could spend the day in Hanalei, come back to... more

Spent 9 days at the resort in early January 2009. Stayed in two different condos, one was timeshare (Unit I-109) and the other was a vacation rental (H-101). Both were comfortable, clean units with harbor view. Kitchen well stocked with pots, pans, plates and utensils. Had a problem with a coffeemaker that had a new unit at the condo within... more

I am here and surprised! After reading a recent review about Banyan Harbor, I had doubts about my choice to stay at Banyan Harbor Resort on Kauai. I talked with Lyle Otsuka, Outriggers resident manager of the Banyan Harbor time share operation about a negative review I read on this web site. Lyle explained that many of the Town Home... more

When we read the reviews on the Banyan Resort, we didn't know what to expect and I almost cancelled. However, I am one of those who says, "que sera, sera." So off we went to Kauai. The front desk did not have good reviews either, specially about Ginger. We found Ginger to be very accommodating and friendly, so with the... more

My family, including a 1, 5, and 7-year old, and a brother and sister-in-law recently shared a condo here. The first condo we were offered was outrageous: decor from the 70s (and not in a groovy way), an air conditioning unit in the living room so loud it sounded like an airplane taking off, and if it was on, you... more

Prior to my stay at Banyan Harbor Resort I had stayed at three other hotels in Hawaii, and this one is by far the worst. The room's decor reminded me of an early 1990 beach house. The air conditioning units in every room was on timers, which would kick off in the middle of the night. To top it all... more

My husband and I stayed in a 2 bedroom unit that we shared with our friends. The area was nice, swimming pool ok but not large. The Barbeque grills were new so that was a plus. I was surprised to see a tennis court. Ok now for the downside...our room wasn't all that. The lighting was very dim throughout the... more

We stayed at the Banyan Harbor for 3 nights in May 2008. The location of the resort was great. Only minutes from the mall, restaurants and golf courses. On the other hand our room needed to be renovated. Our A/C in our bedroom was so noisy that we had to turn it off when we went to sleep. Our bed... more

I really like this place. It’s in a convenient location. Close to alot of different restaurants, shopping, and what not. My only complaint was the A/C being on a timer. But that is a minor complaint at best. With our current energy situation, I understand the need for something like that. The pool is awesome! Up on a hill and... more
