Hanalei Bay Resort & Suites

Frommer's Review

This 22-acre resort is just up the street from ritzy Princeville Resort , overlooking the fabled Bali Hai cliffs and Hanalei Bay. It has the same majestic view but for as little as half the price. The place recaptures the spirit of old Hawaii, especially in the three-story stucco units that angle down the hill to the gold-sand, palm-fringed beach it shares with its neighbor. Rooms are decorated in island style with rattan furnishings and lanais overlooking the bay, the lush grounds, and the distant mountains. Shuttle service is available for those who may have problems walking on the steep hillside.

The Happy Talk Lounge is one of our favorite places on Kauai for sunset cocktails, while the open-air restaurant, Bali Hai, has a view so distractingly gorgeous that you can hardly concentrate on the food.

Facilities: Restaurant; bar; 2 inviting outdoor freshwater pools; complimentary shuttle to Princeville Resort's top-ranked golf courses; 8 tennis courts, pro shop, and tennis school; Jacuzzi; concierge; activities desk; massage; babysitting; coin-op washer/dryers; laundry/dry cleaning.
