"My recent stay at 1 Hotel in Kauai, Hawaii, was nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in luxury and beauty. The resort is incredibly swanky, with meticulously maintained grounds that make you feel like you've stepped into a tropical paradise. The private beach is simply the most amazing beach I've ever experienced. The crystal-clear waters and pristine sands provided the perfect backdrop for relaxation and fun. We spent hours basking in the sun and enjoying the serene atmosphere. The food at the resort was absolutely delightful. Every meal was a culinary masterpiece, bursting with flavor and creativity. The staff at 1 Hotel were incredibly helpful and polite, always going above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Special thanks to the manager, Nicholas Gold, who made our stay exceptionally comfortable. Nicholas was always available to assist us with any requests, making us feel truly valued and cared for. If I could suggest one improvement, it would be to add a few more dinner entrees to the 1 Kitchen menu, which also serves as the in-room dining menu. Having a bit more variety would elevate the dining experience even further. Overall, 1 Hotel Kauai is a paradise on earth. The impeccable grounds, stunning private beach, delectable food, and outstanding staff make it a must-visit destination. I cannot wait to return for another unforgettable stay!"

"The place was very clean and thoughtfully equipped with supplies for a relaxing stay. Ample outdoor space to enjoy reading in a lounge chair or to nap in a hammock. Location is very convenient to the North shore area. A short walk to a beach or a short drive to the Haena Beach or Park. Donna, our host, was very responsive and kind."

"The location was great and the unit was perfect for the two of us. There was no TV (fine for us), WiFi was good. We were 100 feet from the beach and could walk to Tunnels Beach via the beach walk. We will definitely stay here again!"

"Hanalei Colony Resort is an incredible property. Beautiful grounds and great location. The view from unit J3 is just spectacular. The unit could use some updating but very comfortable."

"Perfect spot for family getaway. Quiet, a nice snorkeling spot, and overall…absolutely wonderful!! It rained heavily one day, so the ceiling in master bath dripped a bit. Hint to dishwasher- push buttons, then close the door."

"The whole island is absolutely stunning; the Hanalei Colony was like the icing on a cake. It's in such a beautiful part of the island. I especially appreciated the bed and bedding. I'm probably a bit too picky about pillows, sheets, etc. but all of the bedding in our apartment was VERY comfortable."

"The staff and property are amazing, but the location ended up being the best part. Kauai is beautiful everywhere, but the north shore area around HCR really takes the cake! Great, quiet beaches and a variety of things to do close by (but HCR is also far enough away that you don't feel like you're in a heavy tourism area). The shuttle service makes getting around easy but the staff also has good local knowledge/tips if you want to drive yourself. Don't think we'll stay anywhere else on Kauai now that we've found this gem."

"The house is wonderful and Tunnels Beach, just a few minutes away, is totally incredible! The house is spacious, comfortable, and well-appointed. The deck is a great place to hang out between trips to the beach, and the AC cooled us down quickly when we got a little too warm. The house felt very private. We loved the high ceilings in the open main space, too. Everything was clean and comfortable and we really enjoyed the beach toys. Tunnels Beach is easily one of the best beaches we've ever visited, anywhere. Our 8 year old son swam, played in the water, and snorkeled for days, even though there was high surf out in the open ocean. Being able to walk to the beach was really relaxing. You need to pre-book, but the parking for Nāpali Coast State Wilderness Park, Kalalau Trailhead, and Hāʻena SP is perhaps 5 minutes drive from the house. There's also a shuttle but you'd have to drive much further (the opposite way) to catch the shuttle. The hike along the coast is spectacular and up to the waterfall is amazing but challenging. The property manager, Beaux, was super kind and helpful when our departure plans were disrupted by some flash flooding elsewhere on the island. That meant a lot to us. We hope to be back soon!"

"Amazing home and best location on earth. Was perfect for our family and my sister’s family. The ocean was perfect for teenagers. Not sure it would be as great for younger kids as the calm part of the ocean is a bit of a walk but it was a perfect set of waves for teenagers. The hot tub was also lovely on the day it rained."
