A wonderful place to stay in Princeville. We had a 3rd floor condo with a full…read morekitchen/dishwasher/washer and dryer and great views. It was really clean and comfortable and perfectly located close to amazing beach areas. Kitchen was stocked with plates/glasses/ pots and storage containers. They provided beach towels and a cooler too. We were also able to have some quiet time and relax with making dinner and having a glass of wine on the patio. The internet was free and worked really well. The staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating with all our needs. On our last day we had to check out early (10am) but our flight was not until 7pm. The front desk offered to hold our baggage (so we don't have to risk any breakins to our vehicle while parked at beach parks) and also offered us a complimentary room to shower and get ready before we leave for our flight and this was after checkout!! we have never had that much of courtesy showed to us before and was very impressed by it. Also they let us use the beach towels for the rest of the day. I highly recommend this place for your Kauai visit!

The room is so comfortable and well decorated, with a spa worthy bathroom. There was a kitchenette which was perfect for packing lunch for the beach, and breakfast, provided by Colleen, your gracious host, is out of this world. We've stayed at the five star resorts on the south shore, and the Leialoha Ti stands tall next to them. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great getaway to relax and recharge the batteries.

We stayed in a two-bedroom unit (3rd floor), and the "no elevator" wasn't an issue for us, but the sticky, rusty, dusty, and just plain dirty everything was! The room was in dire need of a deep cleaning! We woke up to the view of gross screens every day, the bathroom vent was beyond dirty, the handrail to go up to the main room was sticky, the microwave hadn't been cleaned prior to us arriving, the fans were extremely dusty, the cable box looked like it hadn't been wiped down in months, and everything was just ICK! Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else! Take a look at my pictures go an idea of what's in store for you.

Aloha! This review is way overdue and is about our lovely experience staying at the Hale Makai in…read morethe Ginger cottage #4 back in May 2019. If you are looking for the perfect getaway, in need of peace, quiet, a place to detach from the hustle and bustle of city life and connect with nature, the Hale Makai cottages can provide all aspects of relaxation. Nestled in the depths of a tropical paradise you can find this exquisite beach front property with panoramic views of the ocean and as you walk out onto the sand you can witness a magnificent sunrise (am) and sunset (pm). We originally booked our stay in May 2018 however, due to the unforeseen flooding the Hanalei/Haena Area experienced in April 2018 which caused a lot of damage resulting in the closure of many businesses, the Kauai government imposed a strict ban for tourist to not be allowed to rent in areas that were hit hard, this was due to the safety of the tourist. So, Hale Makai cottages offered to re-book our stay the following year once the Kauai government felt it was safe again for tourist to rent and dwell in the Haena area. Susan play such an integral part in rebooking our stay in May 2019. She exhibited superb customer service and was always on point in answering all our questions promptly. We loved our cottage and it was equipped with everything we needed, comfy bed, linens, dishes, oven, stove, utensils, refrigerator, sink, living room, outdoor patio (we used to eat out every morning and night), soak tub, and beautifully smelling soaps and lotions locally made by Aunty Ina. The breeze felt so nice coming through into the cottage and it smelled like plumeria. It's about a 5-minute drive into the hip town of Hanalei and your surrounded by so many beautiful beaches that are not heavily impacted with tourists. When we were there it felt like we had our own private beach. We really enjoyed our stay here, the cottages are immaculate and the grounds are impeccably well maintained, just absolute paradise! Mahalo!

We absolutely loved it and want to make this something we do every year with our son. Here is my advice anyone looking to book. If you have high expectations and are expecting new and up to date with IG aesthetics don't book. These cabins are old. But that's what gives them their charm. They supply you with everything that you could need in the kitchen and bathroom and bedding. My only complaints were the pans to cook in were a little rusty and need to be replaced and they need to mop the floors with a swift jet or something. Are socks were black after being in side for only a couple of hours after checking in. Things to bring. Bring lots of fire wood if you are going during winter/early spring. You will definitely want a fire constantly going to keep the cabin warm. We brought extra blankets. Also I would bring a few of my kitchen items next time for things to use for cooking that they didn't have. Even though they had almost everything you would need. Oh and coffee filters. I drink and make a lot of coffee. They give you prepackaged coffee already in a sealed filter but I also like to bring my own. All in all we had a wonderful experience and look forward to stay here again.
