Celebrity Resorts Kauai-Hanalei Bay Resort

We only stayed 1 night there as we were only going to be at the resort to prepare for our trip on the Kalalau trail. The room is big but definetely needs updating. we had a view of the resort from our hotel room balcony but no view of the ocean. As we really didn't care about the location, I would not recommend the cheapest room available if you were planning on staying there for your entire vacation. The staff was most helpful. I wanted to arrange for a taxi to bring me to the trail head and told the desk clerk just that, and he (his name is Mike), instead offered to drive us to the trail head and take our rental car back to the resort where it would be safer. (No one recommends leaving cars at Ke'e beach as the cars are often broken in to). I was alittle hesitant as I usually wouldnt trust a stranger with a rental vehicle. The arrangement we made was that Mike would drop us off at the trail,take the car back to the resort and I would call him direct on his personal cell phone a couple days later to be picked up. After we finished the brutal hike and returned 2 days later, I called Mike who promptly returned with our car to pick us up. Mike brought us the best dried fruits I have ever tasted! He picks the fruit and dehydrates them at his home! Mahalo Mike for the great service and the fruit! I definitely would recommend this place simply on the experience alone, from Mike.

My husband and I stayed here in mid-August and loved it! The view of the sun setting over Hanalei Bay from the bar/restaurant was a highlight of our trip. There isn't a fine dining restaurant, but the bar/restaurant has beverages and apps and main courses. The room was spacious, clean, and the bed was comfortable. The property is next door to the St Regis Princeville (need I say more)?!?!?! The drive into Hanalei Bay is less then 5 minutes, with numerous options for shopping and dining. The pool area is fabulous. The only negative is theat the ocean is not good for swimming as the reef comes right up to the sand on the beach. However, the drive to Hanalei Bay is close, and there are other beautiful beaches on the island to explore. A GREAT value for the money!
