Hanalei Bay Resort

Hanalei Bay Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Pros: Amazing resort - photos don’t do justice Lots of trails around the property for a morning walk/jog Beach it’s located on is easy to reach and beautiful. We were able to walk and swim from it down to the pier. Rooms are large and the full kitchen was nice for making food for the kids. Resort lends itself to families and multi-generational travel. Definitely an older crowd at this hotel. Cons: Room only gets cleaned every other day. No early check in - starts at 4PM and that’s firm. 15 mins to most restaurants and no fast food on that side of the island. Fairly secluded - even to get to Anini beach it’s 20-25 min drive Overall- would recommend but only for a few nights then move to a new location to explore a new part"
