In this thrilling episode of The Hawaii Vacation Guide, we dive headfirst into the luxurious world of resorts on Kauai's North Shore. Two contenders stand face to face: the extravagant Honay and its more modest neighbor, Honay Bay Resort. The price war between these two titans is staggering, with Honay demanding a princely sum five times greater than the humble Honay Bay. But fear not, dear viewers, for we embark on a riveting comparison to help you choose the perfect spot for your Kauai getaway.
Honay, with its majestic mountain vistas, exudes opulence and grandeur, offering rooms at a jaw-dropping $800 to $1100 per night. Meanwhile, the unassuming Honay Bay presents a mix of vacation rental and resort hotel vibes, providing cozy studios for a mere $200 a night. Honay boasts eco-friendly touches and lavish amenities, while Honay Bay keeps it simple with studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units sans kitchens. The battle of the beaches ensues, with Honay offering easy access and a lush garden pool, while Honay Bay provides elevators to the shore and a serene atmosphere.
As we delve deeper, Honay reveals its arsenal of activities, from a sprawling fitness center to delightful kid's programs, all wrapped in a luxurious package that comes with a hefty resort fee and parking charges. On the flip side, Honay Bay charms with its peaceful ambiance, though lacking in dining options. The staff at Honay are hailed for their warmth, while Honay Bay surprises with an unexpected check-in fee. Live music and vibrant restaurants set the scene at Honay, as individual listings at Honay Bay offer a range of amenities to suit every traveler's needs. Ultimately, both resorts offer a unique experience, catering to different tastes and preferences, making them both top contenders for your North Shore escapades.
