Hanamaulu Holidays from AU$3,089

If you are looking for a relaxing, authentic, and peaceful place to stay, this is it! The Kaua‘i Inn is incredibly quiet and tucked away, making it the perfect escape from the busier, crowded resorts. It truly feels like a hidden tropical oasis. The grounds are beautiful, the atmosphere is so serene, and we slept incredibly well thanks to how peaceful it is at night. To top it all off, the breakfast was fantastic—fresh, delicious, and the perfect start to our days of exploring. The staff was wonderfully welcoming and made us feel right at home. We cannot recommend this place enough and will absolutely be back!

The property is beautiful but the pool was cold. I don’t know why they don’t heat it. The water at the beach is almost completely brown from the river water that flows in next to it. And it rained every day we were there. Most of the rain isn’t bad. One day it rained hard and we all had to leave the pool and go inside. The disc golf course wasn’t usable because I was told they don’t maintain it. My daughter wanted to drop in the kids club for a hour but that’s only possible two days a week. The gelato and shaved ice shop was closed for renovations (in July really?!?!). The staff was friendly. My son loved the soccer camp. The food was good and the grounds were beautiful, but I won’t be going back.

We had the absolute best stay at the Koa Kea. We loved how the resort is on the smaller side, and you can easily walk out of your room and to the pool, beach, or to some nearby businesses (little fish, puka dog, surf shop..). The staff was super friendly and accommodating as well. I also loved being greeted with real leis, chocolate for our honeymoon, and wine in the room when we arrived! The pool bar had some yummy food, and good drinks. The sunrise yoga was fantastic as well. We stayed here for our honeymoon and actually preferred it to the first half of our trip, when we stayed at Hotel 1 Hanalei. Again, we loved how small and intimate Koa Kea felt, and it had a calm, relaxing vibe with mostly adults staying at the property. We already can't wait to come back again for an anniversary in the future.

Only negative was no air conditioning. Fans helped some but sleeping was a bit warm. Otherwise great place.

Our stay at Hanalei Colony Resort was nothing short of exceptional—an easy 10/10! From the moment we arrived, we knew we had found a truly special place. If you’re looking for peace, relaxation, and the authentic beauty of Kauai, this is it. The location is absolutely breathtaking. Waking up to the lush mountains, listening to the waves, and enjoying the cool trade winds made every day feel like paradise. The climate was perfect for us—comfortable temperatures, fresh ocean breezes, and just enough tropical rain to keep everything incredibly green and beautiful. The entire staff was warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful throughout our stay. Every interaction made us feel like valued guests, and their hospitality added so much to our experience. We completely fell in love with Hanalei and the North Shore. The slower pace of life, stunning scenery, amazing food, and friendly people made it incredibly difficult to leave. It was exactly the kind of relaxing vacation we had hoped for. Hanalei Colony Resort provided the perfect escape from busy everyday life. Whether we were enjoying the views from our lanai, exploring the area, or simply unwinding, every moment felt peaceful and rejuvenating. We are already planning our return trip next year. Thank you to everyone at Hanalei Colony Resort for making our vacation so memorable. We can’t wait to come back!
