I had a chance to stay in the 2 bedroom suite in March 2008. The accommodations were clean and comfortable, and the view was spectacular. It was a few minutes walk to either the beach in Hana or the general store. There is a full kitchen in the 2 bedroom unit, making it really convenient to enjoy all of the fresh fish available. Be forewarned that if you are looking for a deluxe resort experience with a turn down service, this may not be the place for you. The feeling you come away with is that you have a second home in Hana, and that you are always welcome.

We stayed here for the sole purpose of needing a place to crash after doing the road to Hana. The rates were reasonable: a one-bedroom “suite” for $220 including the extra cleaning fee for one night stays. The Kauiki suite was plenty spacious, and it had a nice hardwood floor and high ceiling with ceiling fans. There was a decent view of the ocean, it was across the street, and some trees and power lines were in the way but not too bad. No a/c but we sure didn’t need it. There is an outdoor deck that has a grill, we didn’t use it because it was raining. The furniture was nice and it was clean.
Now the cons: The kitchen and bathroom cabinets are very old and kind of peeling. The kitchen counter is about a foot long—not too convenient if you were making a real meal, but adequate for just making coffee and snacking. The sliding door that separates the bedroom from the living room has a few panels missing, thereby defeating the purpose of privacy. The TV is quite small and quite old. The parking is really tight—you only get one spot, right next to the spot for the 2 bedroom suite next door. When we got there, the other guests, who evidently had more than 1 car, were parked in our spot. We had to go over and knock on their door and ask them to move.
Something that really annoyed me was that there was a little hallway between our suite and the one next door, and there was just a flimsy door at the end of the hallway. The neighbors were noisy, and we heard it all. Also that little hallway had windows, but no blinds, and you could probably see clear into our living room area from outside at the right angle. Biggest gripe: the lock code to get in the door. I thought it was the code to the lock box for the key. Nope, it’s the code to the actual doorkknob. And from what I gather, it doesn’t change! Now I know it’s probably unlikely that anything would happen to you in Hana, but it didn’t feel very secure to me that potentially anyone who had ever stayed there could just unlock the door and walk in at any time. No deadbolt or chain from the inside either.
I’d say this was an adequate accomodation for the short time we were here. If staying more than one night, I’d probably book someplace nicer.

This was our third visit to Hana, the first in nine years. This time, we had another family member, so we needed accomodations that would provide privacy for a couple and a single person. The shoji screen arrangement of Hana Bay Hale was perfect. We were there for two nights. The location is near the center of Hana, both the deck and the room have a view of Hana Bay, the property is well maintained, and the rooms and amenities are clean and well-equipped. (Bed linens could be newer, but the bed is comfortable.) We enjoyed the gas grill on the deck, and being able to do laundry in the washer/dryer was a welcome convenience.
