This was our first time to Kauai and we stayed at this property the first night we arrived. It was very easy to find using google directions. After check in, we were provided a map of where to park and where this unit was located on the 22 acre campus. Parking was very limited in the lot closest to the unit. Then you have to trek with your bags down a back driveway, beyond the dumpsters and a busy employee maintenance worker entrance area complete with loading docks. Tip: leave anything in your car that is not worth carrying all the way through all of this and down, down to the unit. Once inside, the unit was very pleasantly clean, cool and welcoming. The bed was amazing. We slept like babies but had to get a move on in the morning. We checked in 7:00 pm and had to be out by 10:00 am the following morning. The early checkout makes things really rushed in the morning and kind of makes you feel like you barely got your moneys worth. I would have paid extra to check out a couple hours later. In the end, we rate this unit with 4 stars. 3.5 stars seemed not quite enough. We probably would have rated our experience 4.5 stars had it not required the commute through the not-so-satisfying employee entrance area. If we choose to stay at Hanalei Bay Resorts again, we will pay extra for a more centralized unit. Also, if you stay on a Wednesday and want a drink at the bar when you first arrive, byob! The bar/restaurant is closed on Wednesday evenings?? The pool area is open until 10:00 but is dimly lit. The hot tub was broken which was a real bummer also. Good, clean place to sleep and take a clean shower. If you pack light and don’t mind a bit of a hike to your room, this may be the place for you!!
