We have faced a couple of hours of construction noise during 2 days of our stay. They were very helpful when we raised our concern, but of course would be better not having this issue at all, not the best experience when you fly to hawaii from turkey to unplug.

It is at a great location, very close to amazing tunnels beach with a very convenient shuttle and beach gear are provided Very comfortable and large rooms. Would definitely stay here again and longer if I come back to Hawaii.

Not specifically when people talk about our room in the morning. And we saw a cockroach in the room.

I like nature and the room design.

The hot tub was not working until the final night of our stay.

The location was amazing!

Having to leave.

The location and the room was perfect for us. The bed was super comfortable and we commented on the weight of the duvet but during the night we were sure glad to have it. The kitchen was well equipped with new pots and pans, a coffee maker and all the plates, cups and cutlery you could possibly need. We enjoyed Tunnels Beach and it was so handy using the shuttle bus. The beach chairs and snorkels were an added bonus.

Only a couple of items: 1. At check in we were told that our room had been upgraded from “ocean view” to “ocean front”. Nice!… until we got to the room and realized that at most, calling our room “ocean front” was a significant exaggeration. Yes, it had lovely ocean views from 2 different angles, but there were actually two 2-story buildings in front of us, which were truly the “ocean front” rooms (4 rooms in each building), that is, nothing between them and the sand/water. Come on guys, let’s be real and just call it what it is: “ocean view”, just like many of the other rooms at HCR. To be told that we had an ocean front room during check-in and then to see what the situation was actually like, was truly disappointing, and honestly, it made us feel as though we had been duped. It would’ve started things off on a much better footing had nothing been said about an “upgrade”, as we were already expecting a room with nice ocean views, as had been described in the online listing. Authenticity goes a long way, especially with first encounters. 2. There were other things as well, all quite nit picky, but nevertheless still things we didn’t like: broken toilet seat in the half bath, no exhaust fan in the full bath, (hurricane style windows which could be cranked open , yes, but well below eye level for many people on the outside walkway, thus we didn’t feel comfortable leaving them even partially open while showering, thus a very humid/wet bathroom after showers), rust covering the top of the refrigerator and multiple ceiling fans (which were otherwise quite nice with remotes and several settings), lack of a dishwasher, and super thin, seemingly less than single ply, paper towels & TP.

Almost everything! Remoteness/privacy. Size of room. Ocean views. Easy parking. Included beach chairs & sun shades/beach umbrellas. Pool towels already in room. Staff friendly & helpful. Full size fridge and well stocked kitchen cookware & utensils for 4 people, excellent ventilation in the sleeping and living/dining areas, nice bed linens.

I loved everything.

Sunrise from the lanai. Endless walks on the sand to tunnels beach. Spacious, well appointed condo. A 10 out of 10 if you aren’t a mega-resort type:) We are currently on the south shore for four nights and I’m honestly considering bailing on our fancy (expensive) non-refundable hotel to return to the Colony for the remainder of our trip.

Not enough convenient drawers for clothing in my unit.

Grounds ere well kept. Staff were friendly & helpful. The shuttle was a life saver and the driver was very accommodating. The unit wasn’t as updated as I’d normally prefer, but it was spacious, clean, and made for a comfortable stay. The included beach chairs & umbrella really helped out during the beach days. I would definitely stay here again.

It’s a bit dated, could do with a dash of paint here and there.

Location is fantastic if you love the ocean, shuttle service is very convenient and the restaurant next doors is very friendly. Great bbq area.

Nothing of note.

Breakfast was not included. There was a full kitchen, however, so we made our own. The location was beautiful and off the beaten path. Just what we were looking for for low-key relaxation.

A long drive from the rest of Kauai, due to the limited road access etc.

Our room was right on the ocean - with a view of the misty mountains as well - what a spot! A beautiful place to unplug.

More lighting and traction strips on wooden steps to units would increase safety for those who are balance challenged.

Wonderful and welcoming staff and comfortable accommodation in a beautiful setting! Staff allowed us to stay in the pool area after checkout, which was extremely appreciated with 10 PM flight home.

The food at the on-site restaurant (Opakapaka) was just OK - though we only had one meal there so perhaps we missed better offerings. Also, it's too bad that the beautiful beach ON the property is only for view - the currents are too dangerous for swimming. It's not a big deal, since you can drive 10 minutes to the beautiful Makua (Tunnels) beach but I wish I'd realized that earlier.

This place is in one of the most remote places you can access by road on the island, on a beautiful coastline. It's peaceful, beautiful and quiet. We loved our garden suite (M2), which was tastefully decorated, very clean and well ventilated (no AC) and looked out on the lush garden/stream and pool area (in the distance). The new pool and jacuzzi are nestled in a gorgeous garden. There's a free shuttle you can book during the daytime to take you into town or to the nearby beaches. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating, and the vibe overall was very chill.

Really a nice resort I ever stayed. The room is spacious and relaxing. Ocean view from the balcony and window. The location is pretty good in Haena, easy access to kalalau trail, tunnels beach, lumahai beach...free shuttle can take you to Hanalei area. Will stay here again next time.

Nothing

Near to the town with plenty of restaurants and to hikes. Nice flat with ocean view. The pool space was very nice .

Stayed in August 2024

When we came into the room, we didn’t understand where is the second bedroom. The bed was a sofa too short for a person 170cm tall. Although the resort position was good for hiking or so on, the first market, shops and restaurants are at 15 minutes of a tortuous road. Some furnitures were old, the house was a little bit neglected.

You have a beautiful view on the ocean at one side and on the jungle on the other side. The pool is suggestive in the jungle and quiet. You have a bar and a restaurant. There are not so special but basic (at the bar you can find espresso).
