Milo’s place is the best room on the Hanalei Bay Resort. Close to the beautiful pool, hot tub and lobby with a spectacular view. Milo is a great host—responsive to questions and very organized. Highlights are the comfortable bed, the view, washer and dryer, and close proximity to the cute town of Hanalei.
I gave 4 stars for location and the resort. Princeville is pretty but it is very rainy and very humid. It is also an hour to 2 hour drive to get anywhere other than Hanalei. It is walking distance to a small beach but unfortunately for us, the rain caused a “brown water warning” in Hanalei bay and we were not allowed in the water. The resort is cute, but has limited amenities (no breakfast, gym, short pool/hot tub hours).
Again, I do not want to take away from Milo and his space, it’s only far I share our true experience so you may back an informed decision. For us, Kauai north shore was not convenient enough for the relaxation we needed after 6-7 day work weeks and wedding planning. It truly is perfect for 2 people who are excited about the idea of adventuring in jungle-like Kauai and don’t mind the slow pace, a little rain, humidity and driving in exchange for BEAUTIFUL Kauai.
