We chose this condo based on location to Hanalei Bay and was looking for a resort with a pool, walking distance to the beach, near a grocery store and close to hiking. This checked all the boxes.
Loved that the owners had beach towels, chairs, a cooler, snorkeling gear and boogie boards for us to use. The condo was well equipped with all the cooking tools, but would be helpful to have some more basic supplies available; sugar, salt, pepper. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom could have a door that closed, the sliding door didn't really fit the privacy bill for me. The view from the lanai is awesome and would have loved some more comfortable seating to enjoy the view, but no major complaints there.
Something to note, this is a walking resort, in that, it's hilly. We hail from CO so not an issue for us, but could see this being an issue for some. You can call for a golf cart to pick you up, but this could take 10-15 min, so plan ahead. The resort itself is very well maintained and expect to hear landscapers in the morning with power tools keeping it tidy. The tennis courts were always busy and people seemed to be enjoying themselves there. The pools were amazing, not a ton of shade at the smaller pool during the day, but the main pool has plenty. The resort restaurant has live music and seemed to be bumping til about 10pm, but expect to wait for a table or seat at the bar and the prices are on the higher side. Overall, the staff was very welcoming and happy to answer questions. Bummed I didn't know that it offered yoga and other fun activities until we checked out, so don't miss out like I did.
This condo had everything to offer and more, hence the 5 stars. Hope this helps with booking the vacay of your dreams.
