This condo at Hanalei Bay Resort (6303) was very nice, well appointed and comfortable. There were plenty of sheets, towels and without daily maid service, that was appreciated. The views were better than we expected which is always a lovely surprise. Overall, we would definitely rent this condo again and plan to do so as soon as we can. The improvement areas I would like to point out however are as follows: Our reservation was not in our name upon arrival and that caused some distress. It worked out fine but it was not fun to find that out at 8 PM on the day of check in after a long day of arrival, as we stood at the desk holding our paperwork that indicated our dates and paid in full. The return phone calls took three tries Monday morning over a two hour period before I reached a helpful person at Haw. Beach Rentals to tell them of our problem the night before and to assure me that our reservation was in fact intact. The dryer did not heat (it turned on but did not dry clothes) and a phone call to have that checked never did end up having anyone check or fix the dryer.
There were too many best parts of our trip to mention but because of the condo comfort and atmosphere there, we chose to cook dinner in more than eat out and we found the Fish Market in Hanalei to be a delightful place to purchase our dinner to cook. The best "insider tip" was to go to Queen's Bath and Secret Beach. We loved the beach in walking distance down by the Princeville Hotel mostly to watch the sunset and walk to the left as there did not seem to be many people down that way.
We are looking forward to our visit again and renting this condo with the adjoining one and bringing our children.
