The condo was very clean and in one of the best locations on the property. The grounds of the Hanalei Bay Resort were fantastic and we hope to be back soon. In the future however, we would look to book directly through Hanalei Bay Resort which include 1bed/1bath units with kitchens. Aside from the hotel restaurant, there are no dining options within walking distance to the resort and requires you to drive into town to find a meal. Being able to prepare even a couple of meals in the unit would have been a huge benefit.
Drawbacks:
- There are no auxiliary surfaces inside of the unit for placing items or sitting around. Your only option for interior seating is on the bed.
- While this is listed as a condo, it is more like a poorly-equipped hotel room within a condominium complex. There is no mention in the listing that the condo does not include any access to a kitchen (even a microwave) unless you dig into the amenities list.
