We've been coming to this hotel for over three decades now (it first opened in 1985), and every time we're blown away by the views of Hanalei Bay and the mountain peaks that back the bay—honestly, how could you not be? Over the years, the hotel has seen its share...
Most of the rooms at this hotel have a fresh, tropical feel with newer rooms feeling more modern. The main oceanfront building’s bathrooms have deep Jacuzzi tubs. Good location with the grounds looking great on our latest visit. They're right on the beach path for...
This condo complex opened in 2014, and on our visit they were finishing up the last of the buildings. It's located pretty far from the ocean, so any view you have will be dominated by either the golf course from buildings 6–12 or the mostly rough brush garden from...

This condo was built in 1968 (you’d swear it was the ’50s), it’s old but fairly well-kept in the common areas. Not much changes at this condo on each of our visits and they seem to like it that way. The units all vary, but mostly they are in need of updating. They...
