Kauai, Hawaii

5 stars

A Hawaiian haven on Kauai's North Shore, this beautiful hotel is all about wellness, relaxation, and sustainability. With stunning views over Hanalei Bay, this really is an oceanfront sanctuary where you can enjoy as much or as little activity as you like. The beach is right on your doorstep, be it for a relaxing swim or a spot of paddle boarding and kayaking,and the cute town of Hanalei isn't far away to explore. But the highlight of this hotel (in our opinion) is the spa. With natural and organic products, and individualised treatments, you'll be feeling the effects long after your treatment has finished. The adults-only infinity pool is another highlight, with ocean views and a poolside bar, so you can enjoy some peace and quiet with a cocktail in hand. There's two other pools though, with a shallow one that's particularly suitable for the little ones, whilst Seedlings Kids club is a fun, educational space where the little ones can enjoy a host of activities inspiring imagination and discovery. And we haven't even touched on the food. There's a wide range of bars and reataurants that focus on locally sourced food - we're pretty sure you'll never go hungry here. All in all, this hotel is perfect for active families, solo travellers, and newlyweds alike.

“5 star stay in Hanalei”

Jan 18, 2026K S

We come to Hawaii every year and this year decided to spend our time in Hanalei, where previously we’ve just done day trips and opted to stay at 1 Hotel I had high expectations given the price tag and we were not let down. The views from our room and the beach were STUNNING. We enjoyed breakfast and coffee everyday at Neighbor’s. We ate lunch beachside every day ordering off the pool menu (the ahi sandwich and shrimp tacos were our favorites!). Service from all employees was great! The hotel or pool never felt crowded. We enjoyed the cushions on the pool and beach chairs but I do wish the beach chair cushions somehow could be protected from the overnight moisture as they were always soaked in the morning. One other touch that would be nice that’s often done at other luxury resorts is morning and afternoon “snacks” by the beach/pool staff (things like fruit skewers etc). Those are very minor and again we otherwise had a great time and will certainly be back! Kelsey

“Nightmare on the Ninth Floor”

I think this is probably a decent hotel, the location is superb, and it seems to be the best spot on the island. Our stay could have been wonderful but the check-in experience and response that evening was absurd and our room was not what we selected and paid for. Checking in late evening from NY, we were assisted to our room, and I noticed a strong sour odor in the hallway. After turning the corner I saw the hallway full of industrial de-humidifiers, hoses and cords dangling from walls and open ceiling panels, blocking the hallway. It appeared to be water damage mitigation in the ceiling, walls, and rugs. The stench outside all the rooms in that wing was gross. I asked the bellman what happened and he acted as if he had no idea (not possible) and said "It must be construction" which did not sound good either, but I told the bellman we needed to change rooms. At the front desk all involved acted as if they had no idea about this damage (not possible). We were given two options for the first night, neither were similar rooms, one was a similar price category but on the ground level in view of beach goers, not quiet and not private, from sunrise to sundown. Beach level is probably ideal for some, we wanted a high room (Mountain View), private balcony and the trip to first floor is a long walk requiring two elevator rides. We took it for the evening and decided the next day it was not worth moving our bags a third time. I went back to look the next day and not only was it still a smelly war zone and I felt bad for the guests ducking under cords and getting that smell each time they left their room; wow. To be clear, one of the managers did call us the next day while we were on a tour so I could not take the call, by that point, however, there was nothing to talk about and there was no mention of it again. I understand a GM that does not want to lose thousands in room revenues and also needs to honor reservations, but assuming there is no mold or health risk, I hope those guests were somehow compensated, given discounts or acknowledged for the plain unsightliness and smell. Kauai has a lot of rain, and things happen, but this hotel is also owned by Starwood Capital which has some skills in RE and hospitality. It is unforgivable that we were not warned at check-in about the mess, and given some options. I don't need a manager's apology or free dessert but nobody ever really acknowledged anything. East coast travelers need to consider that they may get assigned the worst possible rooms as a penalty for being the last to arrive to the party, and that this place is light on supervision.

“Worth it”

Exceptional stay Our suite was worth every penny. Quiet, private with a stunning view of the entire bay. Visiting in January without crowds was delightful. We enjoyed Neighbor’s excellent coffee and breakfast every day. The infinity pool is spectacular.
