Awesome stay!

Pono Kai was a great stay in Kauai! Great location, clean, large suite, comfortable bedroom, AC, good kitchen amenities, ample free parking, and a perfect jumping off point for our daily adventures! Check in was easy, personal, and our room even got a tidy up and fresh towels after a few days. It was the best of both condo and hotel! Would highly recommend.

Perfect location

Loved the location as you are walking distance to main town, a 2 minute walk. Beach same distance. Accommodations were okay. I really wanted a little more ocean view and K building is in front facing the main road so you can hear traffic. I wore earplugs to bed. All staff were great.

The room

I thought the room needed updating. Furniture was definitely old and needed to be updated to something lighter to make the place feel “not so dark and small”. We were in K 103. This is not the room we originally booked, but we’re told the elevator was not working at times so the resort gave us this room.. would not get a lace right in front of the highway again. Heard traffic all the time. But everything was clean .

Close to Kapaa food and shops

Nice stay round the clock security kept me from trying to smoke cugars on the balcony. Its ok i just walked 100 yards to the mostly vacant beach and watched the surf. Housekeeping came every other day. You can rent snorkeling and beach related items by the office. Good food trucks and restaurants near. Shops where i bought gifts for the family. My unit had a full kitchen and a view of the koapond.

Everything is close

Pono Kai is close to everything. You don’t even need to leave the resort if you don’t want to. Plenty of amenities. There was one issue with the wrong name being attached to my reservation, but the property management office handled it quickly. I’d stay here again.

Great Place for Family

First of all, pictures online are not the actual room that you receive. All rooms are chosen at the corporate level, you get what they chose for you. Aside, the place has a variety of games/activities for the family to enjoy on the premise. The boardwalk along the beach (note, not a swimmable area for a few miles) gives stunning views to the sunrise. Very centrally located to travel along the island.

Perfect location for 1st timers in Kapa’a!

Our condo K205 had everything we needed and was true to the description. The Pono Kai was a beautifully landscape complex, offering a variety of activities for everyone. The staff was excellent! We chose this location because this was our 1st time visiting the island and we wanted easy access to explore beaches from the north shore to the south shore. It was also super convenient to stores and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again! Mahalo!

Lots of Options

The grounds at Pono Kai are lovely and very well maintained. The unit we rented was perfect for 2 people, but it would have been too crowded for 4. There are many options for family activities on-site, as well as shopping and restaurants within walking distance. This area is very, very busy with traffic and pedestrians, and the neighborhood is filled with locals going about their daily lives. This is the place for you if you love shopping and being around lots of people.

Amazing

Awesome stay. More than enough room for myself and my wife. Comfortable furniture Central AC. Full kitchen. Amazing staff. Even though our room had a garden view from the balcony, we could still see the ocean. Central location made getting ro the north or south side of the island easy. Property is bordered by a walking path that goes along the beaches of the east side of the island for miles. 10/10 would recommend and stay again.

Family reunion/vacation

The location is awesome, very central to everything. Definitely need a car to be able to explore everything Kauai has to offer. Great shopping and decent restaurants within walking distance. A grocery store and an ABC store are close by. Very close to the airport too. The property is older and is more of a hotel than a resort. Every room does have a kitchen or kitchenette. Some of the the rooms are not updated, but they are clean. Our host, Tammy, was very accommodating and very prompt in replying to our concerns.

GREAT LOCATION

We stayed at the Pono Kai resort for a week to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary . It was a great location. The condo was good. Our only complaint was that we did not get the unit we reserved on VRBO. The unit that was listed that I reserved said it had a king bed in the bedroom. We were given a unit with a queen size bed. They would not/could not give us a unit with a king size bed. We were disappointed but made the best of it. Since it was just the two of us it worked out. I hesitate to rent from here again if we come with another couple for fear we won’t get the unit we would reserve. The grounds are beautiful, the pool is nice (small for a resort the size of Pono Kai). It was great that they have an on-site place to rent beach chairs, umbrellas, etc…We would recommend this resort to others.

NOT AS QUOTED

We have stayed at this property 5 previous times, and last time was with the same owner. When I reserved this year, the photos of the type of unit I reserved were the same as the previous year, and similar to all other units we had stayed in. It was "advertised" exactly the same as before, and I even requested the same unit if possible. When we arrived, we were put in building "K", which is right on the street. Not only that, but after seeing the unit and discussing it with management, we found out we were in the only building that had NOT one bedroom suites, but instead, "mini suites". There was a kitchenette, tiny eating area and "living" area. The furniture was very uncomfortable. The only thing on the patio (which overlooked the parking lot) was 2 small plastic chairs and a TINY end table. The bathroom sink was leaking, some things didn't work, the a/c was loud, etc. This was NOT what we paid for. Management informed us they couldn't do anything about it, and that IF we wanted to pay an upgrade fee and a cleaning fee MAYBE they could move us in 4 days. I have tried to figure out how to contact the owner, but that information is hidden from me. We believe we deserve a refund of at least half. This rental was mis-represented to us and not satisfactory. We do still like Pono Kai, but don't EVER stay in building K. It was built later than the rest of the resort, but NOT to the SAME standards!!!
