My stay was a unique escape from the everyday hustle, surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes and the sound of the ocean. The resort truly offers a disconnect from technology, which was refreshing, although the dining experience at the on-site restaurant could use improvement. The lush surroundings and private beach access made it a memorable getaway, but I did wish the pool had been open during our visit.

Dining at the on-site Mediterranean restaurant was hit or miss; while the atmosphere was lovely, I found the food didn't quite meet my expectations. Other nearby options, like Barracuda, were much better.

The facilities, including the new pool area and well-tended grounds, contributed to a lovely atmosphere, although I was disappointed that the primary pool was closed during our visit.

This resort offers an incredible retreat with stunning oceanfront views, making it an ideal escape for those looking for tranquility and natural beauty. The rooms are uniquely designed for a laid-back island feel, but privacy can be a concern due to their open layouts. While the restaurant serves delicious local dishes, options in the area are somewhat limited, which might leave you wanting more variety. Overall, it's a peaceful oasis well worth the visit, as long as you're expecting a chill atmosphere rather than a full resort experience.

Hanalei Colony Resort offers a stunning and tranquil escape with beautiful ocean views and a real Hawaiian experience.

The Hanalei Colony Resort offers a beautiful escape with stunning ocean views and a peaceful ambiance, making it an ideal location for those looking to unwind. The rooms are spacious, although the property shows signs of age. While the dining options on-site could use improvement, especially regarding quality and value, nearby dining in Hanalei is a good alternative.

Staying here was an unforgettable experience with a breathtaking view and a serene atmosphere. The spacious, well-furnished condo made for a relaxing retreat. However, dining options were quite limited nearby, and we encountered some issues with management communication that detracted from our experience. It's ideal for those seeking tranquility and natural surrounds but might not be perfect for everyone due to some accessibility challenges.
