The small, laid-back hideaway is found on a long curve of uncrowded beach near the end of the road on Kauai’s north shore. No resort fees here, and resort amenities include free parking, guest barbecue and picnic areas, a guest laundromat, twice-weekly maid service, and a newly-renovated and expanded swimming pool facility with a whirlpool spa. Hanalei Colony’s fall special of 30% off is applicable to rack rates at the resort in all categories, which range from $270 per night for Garden View to $415 per night for Premium Ocean Front units.
