The unit was as expected based on description and photos. Beautiful view from the balcony! Could even see a waterfall on the mountain after a heavy rain. Daybed was perfect for 6 year old. Appreciated the kitchenette, especially on the night of heavy rain, was able to microwave some frozen burritos. Wouldn't recommend heavy food prep though, you have to wash dishes in the bathroom as there's no kitchenette sink.
The Hanalei Bay Resort is beautiful. Pool barely had anyone in it because it was cold (January with temps in the 70s) and in turn the hot tub was always very crowded. Wasn't really ideal with a kid - it's always nice when there's other kids to play with and it seemed like more of an adult resort, although maybe it's different in the summer. Overall a good value, if I came back I'd probably do summer though because the waves at the local beach are big in the winter.
