“Amazing, as always”

We have been going to HCR since the early 90s. We were so happy to return for the first time since the catastrophic flooding in 2018. We were very moved by the central role the staff (including the owner of Opakapaka) played in the community after the flooding, and grateful to the owners for staying the course until HCR could reopen. We are amazed how the staff juggle management and maintenance of the property (shout out to Lehua who manages the housekeeping and Chawake who manages the office staff) given the staffing challenges that are facing the entire island. The office staff is super busy yet efficient and helpful. The units are simple but very clean and comfortable—and yes, thankfully, no A/C. We prefer not having housekeeping disturbing us all the time, and additional linens are always available. I appreciate some may want more “luxurious” or different type of accommodations and/or other amenities, and the island has other resorts for those situations. But this is a special place, and we go there because of the extraordinary setting and the people. We had a great experience, as always, and really look forward to returning next year.

“Most amazing, relaxing stay”

We had an incredible stay at Hanalei Colony Resort for our honeymoon. The hotel is so serene, right on the beach which we had practically to ourselves.

We had an incredible stay at Hanalei Colony Resort for our honeymoon. The hotel is so serene, right on the beach which we had practically to ourselves. The pool is beautiful, with grills available for guests to use and a hot tub. We were blown away by how beautiful the landscape is, and could see the beach right from our room deck. The room was HUGE and had everything we needed. We couldn't recommend this hotel enough.

I went with one of my best friends to the Hanalei Colony Resort and it was everything we wanted. The property has a fabulous setting on the beach, far from crowds and feels delightfully tucked away. While you can find more modern accomodations elsewhere, the rooms are really spacious and functional and have nice private terraces and some really great views of the ocean. The staff make this place feel special. We want to give a shout out to Koaki (sp?), who was extremely gracious when we were delayed from being able to arrive on-time to check-in due to flight issues. Everyone at the hotel was sweet and down to earth and made us feel at home. This is what sets this place apart - it's run by people who really care and the crowd who is here is here for the right reasons. We loved the on-site coffee shop / art gallery, the pool + jacuzzi, bbq station, and proximity to amazing beaches. Would love to return in the future.

“A peaceful oasis in Hanalei”

This resort is located in a very quiet area of Hanalei, between the town of Hanalei and Haena State Park.

This resort is located in a very quiet area of Hanalei, between the town of Hanalei and Haena State Park. The location was perfect for us - we were picked up at the resort for our day of hiking on the Kalalau Trail just a few miles down the road, and close to Tunnels Beach. The road between the resort and the town of Hanalei was a little curvy and we chose not to drive at night, but no worries - we were able to take the complimentary shuttle with ease. It was flexible and the driver very friendly. Our garden unit was close to the stream, and between the office and the pool - lovely! The pool and hot tub are new, as well as the clubhouse area with guest laundry and restrooms. The landscaping is quite beautiful. The beach area is just a few steps away, with a very long beach for walking. We saw sea turtles right in front of the hotel and the view was lovely at any time of day. We were in a unit with one king bed and one double murphy bed. Plenty of room and privacy with the shutters that closed the bedroom areas, and we loved the back patio. So peaceful! We picked up groceries at Safeway in Kapaa on the way in (cheaper than Hanalei) and did use the kitchen for several meals. They could use a few more items in the kitchen, but it has the basics and cooking just a few times saved us lots of money. And the feline ambassadors that slept peacefully on our patio added to the charm. I've been wanting to come to this resort for many years, and it did not disappoint. We loved it here!
