Beautiful, peaceful location as close to the Kalalau trail that you can get. Walk out your lanai to the sea. Breathtaking views of the ocean and short walk to fdown the beach for abulous snorkling. Little windy in the winter months although still great. Even though facility is older the room was great and clean.

Hanalei Colony Resort is a gem! Situated close to the end of Kauai's only road is the ideal starting point for exploring the unspoiled and breathtaking north coast. Also it is directly on the ocean, although the beach is not swimmable in the winter season. The powerful waves make for a view nevertheless! The town of Hanalei, about two miles away, is  very small but provides for good restaurants and other useful services: taxi, post office, ATM, bike rental, surf school, grocery store, and a bus that connects to Lihue, where the airport is. A car is however needed on Kauai in general, and especially if you're staying at the Hanalei Colony Resort, which is otherwise rather isolated. The staff is extremely kind and helpful and provides excellent service!

We enjoy the quiet of Hanalei and this portion of the Kauai coast. This property was nicely located and low key. Our room had a nice ocean view even though we were not on the beach-it appears all the units have nice views. We would definitely stay again.

We loved the size of the room but most of all the view. We were able to cook a full Christmas dinner and eat on the balcony overlooking the ocean. A long drive from the airport but totally worth it. Rent a jeep not a mustang!

HCR is about 10 minutes from Hanalei town, great place to relax, quiet and peaceful with the nature's soothing tranquility. The property is on the beach, we had a great room (B2) with a nice view of the ocean and the garden. The morning sunrise at the backdrop was fantastic. During this time of the year (mid/January) Hanalei experience high seas as  a result the from northern winds, but there is always miles of golden sandy beaches to walk. We walked every day in the mornings and evenings. In the evenings the sky is amazing! With no illumination around the stars are out to surprise you !! There were a few days when the wind was zero and the next morning sea was like a pool with no waves. We took the opportunity and took a snorkel tour. There were a variety of corals and tropical fish. The water was warm,and the visibility was about 15 meters. Some areas are for experienced snorkelers, suggest going on a guided tour. The decor of the rooms had a nice Hawaiian taste, specious and clean. The Spa and the Mediterranean restaurant was excellent, although just one thing that we thought the "Ahi (Maguro) Sashimi" could be better. The Spa and was great, we used the room on the beach and it was relaxing. We'd like to visit again.

This is my favorite vacation destination as of right now. Pro's: Quiet Lovely Fairly remote Beach access/beach views Privacy Comfort Family-friendly Cons: Limited local services This was just the place we needed to escape for awhile without having to pack a tent and go trekking. The resort is located almost at the end of the north road on Kauai.  It took about an hour to drive up from Lihue. The resort is a handful of four-plex buildings. 2 units on top, 2 below. Our unit was a lower unit with a beach view off the lanai. It appears that all units have some beach view; there are a handful that are right on the beach, whereas others are are angled away from it. There is a restaurant/bar and a coffee bar in a building just across the yard and they host a variety of mixers and cocktail parties for people staying at the resort. The restaurant theme is Mediterranean and it also serves excellent local fish. The saffron rice appetizer was fantastic! This is a timeshare type of resort so while we were here there was a mix of vacationers and owners in residence for the winter. Everyone was friendly and polite and seemed relaxed. The pool area is beautiful and includes a large seating area with grills available for those who may want to entertain a large group. The resort is about 10 minutes out of Hanalei and about 6 minutes before the end of the road and Ke'e beach. The resort is situated right on the beach; about 25 feet from our front door. You can either drive or walk the beach for several miles. We snorkeled about 100 yards down the beach, around the point, and it was great water. There are no tv's or telephones in these units. There is wi-fi available if you must. This was a perfect place to relax, sit back, and explore the north side of the island while enjoying the convenience of a full kitchen and beautifully furnished apartment.

We enjoyed our stay! The accomodations were comfortable & roomy. We enjoyed the fact that there was no television, so we could really escape. The grounds were lovely & the beaches had some of the best snorkeling around. Our children loved the pool & jacuzzi. It was a great place to stay!

We liked everything about this hotel. Even though you can't swim at the beach in front of the hotel, there were beautiful views from it, and there are great beaches only a few minutes from it. It takes about 10 minutes to get into Hanalei town. The one thing that we noticed in Hawaii, is that out of the 5 places we stayed, only one had air conditioning.  We're no fans (no puns intended) of air conditioning, and there was always a nice breeze so it wasn't missed at all. However, the 4 places without air conditioning had vents in the interior doors, so you can get visual privacy when you close the bedroom doors, but not the sound proofing within your unit you would get with conventional doors, so if you have kids and want to be romantic, keep this in mind. So this hotel had the same flow of air, except the doors were attached in such a way that you could fold up several panels so the whole side of the room opened to the common area, and you could do that for the other room. This was a bit of a disappointment at first, but it turned out quite well, because we got the privacy at night, but in the day with all the panels folded up, it made the whole unit feel much more spacious. The porch overlooked a nice view of the grassy common area with views of the ocean and mountains. We loved it here.
