1 Hotel Hanalei Bay

The 1 hotel was incredibly beautiful. So much detail and thought every corner you turned and the room we had felt SO comfortable. We chose to visit over our honeymoon and feel like we absolutely chose the right hotel for the occasion. The breakfast buffet was absolutely phenomenal, along with the massage we booked! Recommend visiting this Spa to use the wet/dry sauna whicu no appointment is needed from 9-5, but you are treated as if you have a whole massage booked. They provide robes, sandals, towels and top of the line products which we didn’t know about without asking the spa front desk. It felt kind of behind lock and key because you have to be walked back and can’t just use the sauna any time of day, but it was spectacular when I realized why it was so orchestrated. As far as the overall experience, it was definitely a perfect honeymoon destination. I would not come in expecting too many thrills related to your special event if that’s why you’re there and, unlike our first hotel, most support staff is not in the loop of your special occasion. I.E. no welcome basket or celebratory bottle of champagne in your room to welcome you on your honeymoon, but it really was a non-issue. The location and views cannot be beat and the support staff was all VERY helpful!

Asta gave me one of the best massage and energy healing sessions of my life! This is from someone who typically gets body work once a week, and has traveled to so of nicest spas on the planet. Hi highly recommend to request her if you she’s available

Breathtaking resort that is an unbelievable experience in Kauai. The design of the hotel is so fitting for the natural landscape - so many intimate nooks to view and experience the beauty of Kauai. Lots of great food options, rooms are beautiful (I also received a complimentary upgrade). Fitness center is great, and loved Rebecca’s sunrise yoga class!

We made an impromptu visit to the Kitchen because of the reviews we saw on Yelp. Put our name in for a reservation at 6:30 expecting to just have a drink. Sat by the adult pool in the high top tables and ordered a drink from Johnny. He was very charismatic and enticed us to stay for dinner in the bar. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and even created a special drink for us. Convinced us to order the market fish versus the Ono and even ran upstairs to get us a bottle of wine that was not available on the menu in the bar. Bill, the bartender ended up coming by our table to complement us on the bottle of wine that we were drinking and we engaged in the wonderful conversation with him as well. Terrific experience that we will definitely be back!

Breakfast with Jimmy was phonemonal! Very personable, professional and all around service was on point. We came to have the wonderful breakfast buffet at the restaurant and for my mom’s birthday! The weather was still great despite the rain (north tends to get the rain a lot) but with jimmy as your server he’ll make it worth your while!
