About this property
Six-Guest Condo - Most Beautiful Spot on Earth
An elegant, newly renovated, very private condo. . Nestled in the trees, it features a short jungle walk to a quiet, private beach & looks out to sparkling Hanelei Bay, lush gardens, soaring emerald mountains, Bali Hai. 1 HOTEL with 7 organic (3 gourmet and one Michelin level) restaurants IS a short walk away. Makai Golf Course is too. HBR offers so much you never have to get in a car - just a kayak. It is serene - yet close to beach trails, golf, tennis, restaurants, shopping and more. Some roof repairs at the resort will continue through October and possibly beyond. There may or may not be some modest noise 9 am - 4:30 pm Mon - Fri.
Also, please be aware that the resort charges a one-time entrance fee of $50.00 per family + $20/day per family resort-use fee + $22/day parking.
ACCESS is a keycard from the front desk, open 24/7
The main bedroom has a king, a sitting area, a full bathroom, a lanai (with small dining table) and a private entrance. Separately, there is a large studio with a full Murphy Bed , a queen pull-out couch, its own lanai, a full bathroom, a side kitchen and a private entrance. Both spaces are private AND connect and have panoramic views. It is one flight up - on the second floor, a corner condo so very private. The resort offers beach towels and in our unlocked closet there are some beach chairs , a few water noodles , some sand toys for children and maybe one umbrella.
Parking is right beside the condo. The condo is a one to two minute walk to the pool and Happy Talk Bar, yet far enough away that it is completely quiet. The bar has lovely Hawaiian music several nights a week, which stops at 9:00 and if you close the condo doors, you cannot hear it.
1 HOTEL is a 10 minute walk, with fabulous restaurants for all meals at relatively reasonable rates. Check out their over-the-top pancakes for breakfast!
This is on the 2nd floor, up about a dozen steps. There is no elevator.
Please note: there is only a washing machine in the unit. Bathing suits can be dried on the lanai. There is a commercial washer/dryer about 70' away. We will reimburse you if you choose to use them.
PLEASE SEE RULES & POLICIES for RESORT & PARKING FEES One positive is that, in addition to giving you access to all their facilities, the fees allow you to arrive as early on your first day and stay as late on your last day as you like, essentially giving you almost two extra days at the resort
HOTEL ONE plans to open in February, a 10 minute walk or 3-minute drive from HBR. It will have 7 organic RESTAURANTS, three of them gourmet & 7 BARS.
If you come as a single, ask us for a $35.00 CREDIT/discount on the cleaning fee.

We found the perfect location at HBR. Quick to the pool, lobby, beach, and parking. The room fit our full-grown family of 6 just right and had everything we needed for a great vacation week. If you are new to Princeville, this is a great spot. You can call the front desk for a ride to the beach and access to Hanalei, Queen's Bath, Hideaway, and the state park are all right there. There is also a grocery store 7 minutes away. We'll be back!

We loved every second of our stay. Coffee on the balcony was a favorite. We enjoyed tennis and swimming on property and the beach is secluded with great snorkeling where we saw a giant sea turtle. Hope to return with our kids as the property is perfectly set up for families! Wish the pool was warmer and the pool bar had been open. The property is close to the parking lot, but we loved the location. Can’t beat the view!

We have stayed at Hanalei Bay resort in the past and you just can't beat the beauty of the property, the location and views it offers. The happy talk lounge has been a nice addition but does congest the parking situation for a few hours at peak time. The beach equipment provided was nice to have. This property has been our favorite on our visits to the island of Kauai. It is picture post card beautiful and having the beach access on site is a tremendous bonus.
Amazing - I didn't want to leave!

We were celebrating our 40th anniversary and were looking for a clean, comfortable, well decorated condo with a view, good pool and beach. We found all of those things at Hanalei Bay Resort. Our unit was recently updated with a beautiful full kitchen, nice bathroom and comfortable furniture. Our view looked across towards the mountains, and though the pool was directly in our view, it is surrounded by so many lush plants that we couldn't hardly tell it was there. We had a small peak of the water and that was refreshing. Our deck had a table and four chairs and we ate outside regularly.
Great location, fantastic views, incredible beach for snorkeling that you can walk to, large pool and jacuzzi, tennis courts, comfortable bed, full kitchen, golf cart shuttle to/from beach, live music played nightly, very friendly and helpful staff at front desk I would definitely stay here again.
