Ground Floor Studio 4101 at Hanalei Bay Resort, Ocean View, Pool, Tennis Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Ground Floor Studio 4101 at Hanalei Bay Resort, Ocean View, Pool, Tennis, you immediately understand why couples rate this place so highly. The ground-floor location means no lugging suitcases up stairs after a long flight to Kauai, and honestly, that small detail makes a bigger difference than you’d think. This four-star property sits right in the heart of Princeville, where the dramatic cliffs of Kauai’s north shore create one of Hawaii’s most stunning backdrops.

The Studio Space

The room itself strikes that perfect balance between vacation rental and hotel comfort. You’ve got a proper kitchenette setup — nothing fancy, but enough to brew morning coffee and store those expensive Foodland groceries without breaking the bank. The ocean view isn’t just marketing speak either; you can actually see glimpses of Hanalei Bay through the tropical landscaping. I mean, it’s not a full panoramic vista, but there’s something satisfying about catching those blue water peeks while you’re getting ready for the day.

Resort Amenities That Actually Matter

The pool area becomes your daily hangout spot pretty quickly. It’s well-maintained without being overly crowded, and the surrounding deck gets great afternoon sun if you’re into that. The tennis court is a nice bonus — though let’s be real, most people forget they even wanted to play tennis once they’re in vacation mode. What I really appreciated was the parking situation; having a guaranteed spot right on-site eliminates that annoying hunt for street parking that plagues so many Princeville properties.

Location Perks

Princeville’s location gives you the best of both worlds on Kauai’s north shore. You’re close enough to drive down to Hanalei town for dinner (about 10 minutes), but far enough from the tourist crowds to feel like you’ve found something special. The nearby Princeville Shopping Center has a decent restaurant and that essential Foodland for supplies. Plus, you’re perfectly positioned for north shore adventures — Tunnels Beach, the Kilauea Lighthouse, and those incredible Na Pali Coast viewpoints are all within easy reach. The area offers excellent dining options and local experiences that make your stay memorable.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.5 location rating from recent guests isn’t an accident. Couples especially seem to connect with this place because it offers privacy without isolation — you can have quiet mornings on your lanai, then easily venture out when you want action. The ground-floor setup means you feel more connected to the lush tropical surroundings, and there’s something about being able to step directly outside that makes the whole experience feel less like a hotel stay and more like you’re actually living in Hawaii for a few days. It’s that sweet spot where you get resort amenities without the resort crowds. This apartment-style accommodation delivers the perfect balance for a north shore getaway.

  We loved the view and the resort itself! We would definitely stay at the resort again!
  The unit we were in was a bit tired. We never communicated with the owner directly. But all the resort employees were wonderful! The view was amazing!
