We have stayed at the Hanalei Bay Resort many times but never on the jungle side. The view of the mountains and jungle was spectacular. We looked forward to having our meals on the balcony so that we listen to the birds and take in the scenery. It was also very quiet and private on this side of the HBR. The condo had everything we needed and was very nicely updated-even thought the kitchen was small, the use of space was very efficient. The beds were comfortable even though they are a pull out and Murphy bed. I would definitely stay here again!
