If you are looking for a lush, updated room where you sit around in a robe, take a bubble bath, and enjoy luxury, this is NOT the place for you. If you are looking for a decent deal and are willing to stay in a dated room that needs a fresh coat of paint and a new mattress to have an affordable vacation in the most beautiful part of Kauai, this is the place for you. The room is the lowest point of the stay at Hanalei Bay Resort. On the upside, the views are spectacular, the pool is wonderful (with a swim up bar and a kiddie section), and the bar food is delicious. They take great care of the grounds, so you feel like you are walking through the gardens of Kauai. The location in Princeville gives AMAZING views of Hanalei Bay, and you can walk down to the beach (shared by The Princeville Resort). There is also a golf cart service to take you around if you don't wish to walk (but the upside of walking is strolling through the lush gardens). Overall, I would recommend the resort but with the caveat that the room is not luxurious.
