The condo was very roomy and located steps from the pool and spa. It was a short walk to the beach. And the beach turned out to be our favorite of all that we visited. It was a small, sandy beach and not busy. The location was great. We could walk to shops and restaurants. We rented bikes from the local shop and rode along the beautiful paved path all along the coast. We would definitely stay here again.

We loved our stay at Pono Kai Resort. The apartment was clean and had all the amenities needed. Outside the sliding glass doors was the pool and hot tub. The grounds were beautiful. The resort is against a beach on the east coast. The resort is in walking distance to the Kapa'a town center with a number of places to eat and shop.

Didn’t have a beach view. Unit was clean and spacious. Our only complaint was the bed was so uncomfortable for everyone. The mattresses appeared to be very firm but everyone had trouble sleeping and a backache. Other than that e erything was fine. Good location.

Very nice condo.

This is an excellent unit for a family. The Pono Kai grounds are beautiful and this unit is very close to the pool. Our kids enjoyed feeding the fish in the Koi pond every morning. The property manger was a delight to work with. I would highly recommend this unit and I hope to return soon.

Work stay

Place was nice just enough space for the 5 of us. Full kitchen so cooked to save from going out or just having something to eat when every place closes early. Check in was simple and reaching out to ask for early check in went well. Overall good experience

Kapaa Fun at Pono KI

We had a great time in this condo and at the complex. The unit is very close to the pool so we could easily access it when we were not busy with other activities. The mini golf course was a blast and you could play chess on a life size board. Also ping pong, croquet, and pickle ball available. The beach and board walk are a short walk from the condo. The condo had amenities such as beach towels, chairs, and a cooler. Only draw back was bedroom with king bed was a bit toasty so used two fans in it. The condo is within walking distance to many shops. Restaurants, and food trucks. Location is pretty central so easy drive to Lihue, Poipu, and Hanalei. Overall, we had a great time and would stay there again if traveling to Kauai. Mahalo!

Upon our arrival we were terribly disappointed that the unit reeked of stale cigarette smoke like an old motel. The unit is managed by a property manager. When we complained about the smell, they told us that they had been in the unit the previous week and had smelled nothing at all. Both of the toilets started leaking on day 2. Candace, the property manager, promptly contacted a plumber who re-seated both of them but left a large mess behind in both bathrooms. The location is nice; close to the beach, but the condo itself is in the building at the back of the property, farthest from the beach. Candace did a lot of communicating through my email, instead of through the VRBO app, which was confusing and cumbersome. The entire unit is in dire need of updating.-definitely 80’s era. We most certainly would not stay here again, mostly due to the horrible smell. The unit would need new carpet, drapes, furniture, paint, etc. to rectify the situation. Four adults stayed here and the stench was unmistakable. I just wish I had known prior to booking, and that is why I am leaving this review-so others can be informed. Also, there is a plaque on the coffee table saying “no smoking”. Why?? The unit has clearly been smoked in for years!!

Excellent location on Kauai

Our family of 4 stayed 9 nights. The condo was bigger than we expected with lots of space and one extra bed than what we thought. This was a great surprise which allowed the kids to have their own beds for the trip.We arrived late at night, but the check-in process was seamless. Communication was excellent and all information was provided ahead of time.The condo was well stocked and we ended up eating most breakfasts & dinners in the condo to save money. Costco was a quick 15-20 minute drive away, and other grocery stores were close to pick up essentials.The unit provided 4 beach chairs, beach towels and a cooler, which we used every day. Kapa'a was centrally located for 1/2 day trips to the north side (Hanalei), south side (Poipu) and west (Waimea Canyon). We spent time at two great beaches within a few minutes drive - Lydgate and Kealia - in addition to others around the island (Anini, Poipu, Brennecke's, Lawa'i). The snorkeling at Lawa'i Beach was one of the highlights as it was like swimming in an aquarium!The location of the actual condo had some positives & negatives. We really enjoyed the ground floor unit as it was nice to walk out the lanai to access the pool and grass areas. Parking was also very convenient. The downside was that the lanai was right next to a main path to the pool, the outdoor chessboard and the putting green, so there were times when we had little privacy when sitting outside.We really enjoyed our stay. TY!

What I wish I knew

Good: the respite is great. Very clean, kind staff, clean pool, lots of fun games. The A/C worked really well. Bad:I’ve never been told that I get one roll of toilet paper for an 8 day stay, that was new to me. The room with the two beds smelled like pee. The towels smelled mildewy. The kitchen is very minimally stocked. We needed up buying salt and pepper since that wasn’t on site. There is no Tupperware, no baggies, no plastic wrap or tinfoil if needed. There was however alcohol in the fridge (so weird). There was sand underneath our fitted sheet, so you could feel it, but not sweep it out of the bed. The attached bathroom had a metal drain cover that wasn’t attached. The bathroom fan has barely works, making the room very humid (thus the mildew smell I think).Don’t try and check in early, as the colds won’t work until 3.The island is amazing though! This was our 4th visit and we have had much better experiences at other rentals, so I’m not sure I would recommend unless you rent with someone else, who is more mindful of their property. The smell was the worst part!
