Recreation
The resort occupies a scenic stretch of golden-sand beach. Although corals make swimming difficult off the resort's own beach, numerous water activities are available within two miles. Tunnels Beach is a popular swimming beach one mile from the resort, while coral-covered lava tubes and reefs make Tunnels Beach and Kee Beach, 2.75 miles from the resort, prime spots for snorkeling and diving.
Guests at Hanalei Colony receive preferred rates for tee times at two of Hawaii's top golf courses, both designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr., and located nine miles from the resort. The Prince Course offers 18 challenging holes of golf integrated with nature. The Makai Course consists of three nine-hole courses that can be played in any combination.
Hanalei Bay has one of the world's longest and most challenging surf breaks; winter is the high season for surfers. Anini Beach, 12 miles away, is one of Kauai's top spots for windsurfing, as is the more challenging Haena Beach, 1.75 miles from the resort. Other popular water activities available near the resort include fishing, rafting, ocean and river kayaking, and sailing.

“Hanalei Colony Resort- A True Treasure”
What a treasure. I wish we had stayed longer and can't wait to visit again. We has a unit right on the ocean front. Very spacious for a family of 4. The staff are wonderful, the view is magnificient and the facilities superb. I will galdly come back. Great beaches nearby although there can be rough surf in the winter. The restaurants nearby can be expensive.
“Unplugged and unspoiled”
The staff were very accommodating and helped us with activities and made our stay pleasurable. We had a great view and enjoyed just sitting and enjoying the peace and solitude. We enjoyed not having a phone or television in the room. It was nice to be "unplugged". The kitchen was well equipped and we had many delightful meals sitting on the lanai.
“The Kauai worth coming back to”
We had no idea what to think of the Hanalei Colony Resort before we showed up, but when it was time to leave, we didn't want to. I have no idea when we'll return to Hawaii, but when my wife said that we could try another place when I said we'd stop first at a grocery store for food (to cook in the kitchen or onsite grill), I set my foot down and told her that it was either HCR or nowhere on Kauai. This was after 2 nights at a spa resort in the Poipu area. What did I not like about HCR? It's quite a drive away from quite a lot. What did I like about HCR? It's quite a drive away from quite a lot. Hanalei is about a 15 minute drive, which provides a nice location for a quiet small town. Ke'e beach is about a 15 minute drive in the other direction, and is an ideal location for sunsets. The condos are large, and having 2 bathrooms were great. But the best part is that everyone at HCR and in the surrounding area are the nicest people I've met (plus, they're real, unlike those I've dealt with in the service industry elsewhere in Hawaii). We loved Java Kai's for breakfast & coffee (in Hanalei), though we did enjoy every place we ate. We also loved activities at the Princeville Ranch. Every beach we found in the area was great. We sampled offerings from the onsite restaurant, spa, and art shop/coffee shop. Each was great!
“Refreshing. Island Treasure. Beautiful Experience”
We're so glad we selected Hanalei Colony Resort for our wedding/family reunion. The drive from the airport provided breathtaking scenery. We arrived Nov. 14th to a beautiful arranged condo, with an amazing view of the ocean. Our wedding coordinator, Shentel thought of everything. The first night we ate at the Mediterranean Gourmet. Their menu is fresh and grown locally. We enjoyed the atmosphere and live music. Wedding day I was surprised with a gift certificate from a thoughtful friend and enjoyed a relaxing massage at the resorts spa. Just what I needed to start the day! It rained most of the day and we were not able to have the ceremony on the beach as planned. Our wedding was still perfect! Shentel and Bridget Clarke (Manulele) our officiant, created a warm, comfortable ceremony at the pools edge. We'll definitely be returning to this majestic lush island and welcoming resort!
“HCR, a great place to stay for hanalei bay kauai”
Very nice setup, quiet, very clean, with very friendly and knowledgeable owners. Folks can save money by buying groceries in Hanalei bay (big save store) and make some of your own meals in the small kitchens each silverware/cups/dishes stocked unit has. All units are mere steps away from ocean/beach. Each unit has wi-fi, no tv (by design).
“Honeymoon Heaven”
A wonderful stay all around. If you are staying on Kauai's North Shore, this is the place.
“Very quiet and relaxing!”
I sat out on my deck, watched the surf, and felt the trade winds blow. It was truly paradise. This hotels is walking distance to Tunnels Beach, with some of the best snorkling on the island.
“Our Stay at Hanalei Colony Resort”
The resort is in the perfect location to get away from it all. We loved our time here. The only change I would have made was to get a unit that wasn't adjacent to the main parking lot. The master rooms are on the same side as the parking lot and the noise/privacy forced us to sleep in smaller bed in the unit. Other than that it was wonderful. We would highly recommend this resort.
“Magnificent panoramic ocean view in remote setting”
We stayed in one of the condos directly on the beach, and it's worth the extra money for the breathtaking panoramic view of the ocean. I was amazed by it every day. One caution: at least while we were there it was very windy, so sitting on the lanai (or beach) was not always possible. On the other hand, the wind made a great natural air conditioner and the room (which was spacious and very comfortable) never got hot. The outdoors part of the resort is nothing special, no great amenities; it's in the process of being modernized. The location is remote--you have to drive everywhere (other than to the restaurant that's on the grounds). But its remoteness is part of what we chose it for. It's near great snorkeling and the hike along the Napali coast. If you prefer a swanky hotel or a lot of condos around golf courses, stay in Princeville. If you want something more Hawaiian and low-key, stay in the Hanalei area. We were very happy with our choice.
“Great Location! North Shore!”
Right on the beach. Superb views. Huge Rooms. Full Kitchen. They clean the windows everyday. Fantastic Spa. So Relaxing.
