Hanalei Colony Resort is a remote and peaceful retreat located about 15 minutes down a windy road from town, surrounded by epic beaches and mountains. The resort offers large rooms and suites, though some lack air conditioning. Guests appreciate the quiet atmosphere, ideal for peace and relaxation, and enjoy the beautiful beach nearby, even though swimming may be limited due to currents. The resort features a clean and beautiful pool and hot tub area, a nice coffee shop, and a helpful shuttle service that makes exploring easier. Many visitors highlight the kind staff and the opportunity to connect with nature and themselves in a real Hawaii setting away from commercial areas. Additional amenities include local food packages, a spa offering excellent massages, and proximity to Na'Pali. While the location requires a drive to reach activities in Lihue, the tranquility, stunning scenery, and sense of disconnect make it a highly recommended spot for those seeking a peaceful escape.
The rooms have a lot of good amenities. Don't plan on a TV. But that's ok. The double bathroom setup in most rooms works great. And having a fully working kitchen is a lifesaver here.

This place isn't for everyone. The location is spectacular. This is our second stay and it will not be our last.
