Kauai's only north shore beachfront resort is nestled on a gentle curve of golden sand beach. These spacious 2-bedroom, 1 1/2-bath suites with complete kitchens are magically serene and bounded by Kauai's untamed beauty. Beachfront restaurant, day spa, hot tub, and coffee shop are all located on the beautifully manicured grounds. Located at the gateway to the famous Na Pali coast, Hanalei Colony Resort is totally unspoiled, unplugged and unforgettable.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We loved staying at this resort with our 12 year old. Views were amazing and she had privacy when sleeping. I wish I recorded the ocean sounds during my stay as that was the best sleep I had in a long time. We hope to make it back to the resort sooner rather than later.

If you're tired of the crowds and the corporate feeling at commercial resorts, get back to traditional Hawaii at Hanalei Colony Resort. It's way up on the North Shore, west of the town of Hanalei proper, with a beautiful view of Wainiha Bay. The bungalows on the property are each made up of four units, two-over-two, with a large lanai for each unit. The oceanfront units are steps away from the sand, and their lanais are great. The interiors abound with tropical woods and slatted, retractable walls to take advantage of the constant tropical breeze, so there's no need for air conditioning. Furniture is comfortable, beds are firm, the bedding is soft with beautiful prints, and there are lots of pillows. There's a coral reef just offshore, along with a nice, sandy beach at the west end of the property great for swimming. There's a restaurant/bar onsite with live music and an eclectic menu. Staff members Chawake and/or Jeanne always seemed to be in the front office, ready with answers to any questions we may have had. They made us feel like VIPs.

Spent five days in paradise at Hanalei Colony Resort. Our room was fabulous, ocean front with an amazing view in all directions. The room was ready for us when we arrived after hours, the staff was always helpful and responsive, the shuttle drivers were wonderful, really a perfect, charmed trip. Wouldn't have changed a thing! Thank you Hanalei Colony Resort for creating a holiday memory that will last a lifetime.

I cannot believe this is only classified as a 3 stars. We had an ocean front king room that was like a condo. Dining area, full kitchen, 2 bathrooms and 2 daybeds. Ocean views on 2 sides close enough to hear the waves crashing at night from bed. Restaurant with live music and spa on site. Shuttle service to town. What more could you ask for?

Everything about Hanalei Colony Resort is perfect, including their commitment to community. The location is untouched enough that it has a feel of what Old Hawaii must have felt like. At check in, we were greeted as if we were their favorite guests ever. Our room was meticulous, waiting for us with complementary cookies and a personalized welcome note. The open floor plan took full advantage of incredible ocean views. We took advantage of the convenient shuttle stop to get to Haena State Park where we hiked the Kalalau Trail to Hanakapi'ai Beach. Dinner at Opakapaka Bar and Grill was excellent with outstanding service. Special shout outs to Sierra, who enthusiastically checked us in and to Jeanne, who graciously checked us out. Looking forward to visit #4!

Hanalei Colony Resort is the place if you're looking for a beautiful, natural, quiet, and less commercialized option. It's just past Hanalei with great food options and local vibe. Wonderful pool and bbq facilities too. They kindly upgraded us to a fabulous room with incredible views of the beach. Thank you and we can't wait to come back again. This is our place!

This is a special place. Our first trip to Hawaii, celebrated my honeymoon here as well as my birthday. The staff were wonderful with giving us a great room. Highly recommend paying for an ocean view! It’s stunning to wake up to. I slept fine without a/c and was happy to trade that for the sound of waves crashing. The ocean breeze in the rooms plus the ceiling fans keeps things moving. We didn’t make it to the pool or hot tub because the north shore beaches are that nice. Ronnie our shuttle driver was the best and we couldn’t get enough of the laid back vibe in Hanalei. Drove around to other parts of the island during our stay and honestly wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else after HCR. We will be back! Mahalo!

We spent a week in paradise at the Hanalei Colony resort in February. Our unit was “F1”. It has a spectacular ocean front 180 degree view from the lanai. We had direct oceanfront/beach access just steps from the lanai. It was great waking up each morning to the sound of the waves, very relaxing. The unit appeared to be recently renovated and was perfect for the four of us (two couples). We also enjoyed relaxing by the pool and taking walks along the beach each day. We highly recommend the Hanalei Colony resort! We will definitely vacation here again soon.

Location is second to none ... Absolutely beautiful sunrises every morning! We were greeted by a full rainbow over Hanalei Bay which was the start to a great week. We were steps from the ocean and could hear the surf 24/7. The resort was nicely upgraded, clean with a recently renovated pool. There was good food and live music at Opakapaka Restaurant on the premises. The complimentary shuttle is a very nice bonus. The town of Hanalei is very laid back with plenty of dining options. We wanted to hike the Ha'Ena State Park, and this resort is actually a stop on the shuttle into the park -very convenient! Will definitely return!

We had an incredible trip to Kauai and loved staying out of the small town. I could rave about many things about the Hanalei Colony Resort, but I just have to emphasize the hospitality of the staff, especially Chawakee in the front office was the best ever! We will surely be staying there because of the warmth she provided in everything from her smile to the beach towels. Take my word for it - you cannot top the experience of this place.
