Nice place in a great location
We actually stayed in another room that wasn’t oceanfront (not sure why it shows we stayed in the oceanfront unit), but it did have some ocean view. Close to restaurants and the town, so walking distance to restaurants and shops. Nice central location for sightseeing - nothing is terribly far (1/2 hour to the north or south is everything). Listing and photos are accurate. Note for fellow travelers who haven’t been to Kauai - there are many dirt roads, so if you plan to wander, get a Jeep or SUV so you can easily travel down some pretty bumpy dirt roads with big rocks in them! It’s well worth it - there are lots of hidden gem beaches and such!

Furniture Needs Updating
Our unit advertised a queen pullout bed. The pullout bed was a joke! Zero padding. Springs poking in your back. Completely unusable. Seriously?! I ended up sleeping on the floor with the couch cushions. Additionally, the couch was lumpy and uncomfortable to sit on due to broken springs. Definitely need an upgrade on the furniture. That is my only complaint however. The unit was immaculately clean. The views outstanding. The resort well care for.

Sunrise every morning
Pono Kai is centrally located on the island, so it is the perfect “home” for day trips and exploring. Staff was excellent, friendly, and helpful. Being oceanfront was the perfect way to start each day. The grounds are beautiful and it was so nice to have laundry so close! The exercise room was large and had plenty of options for working out/lifting and the walking/biking path was right there for easy and accessible use. Make sure you rent bikes! We can’t wait to visit again!

Location is amazing
We were glad that our suite was decorated with modern furnishings. We loved the view, the great location (near so many restaurants and activities), the activities at Pino Kai, and the quiet solitude of the suite. Choose a suite with ocean view and you won’t be disappointed!! It was absolutely great and I wished we could’ve stayed here for our entire Kauai vacay!

Staying in Paradise
What a beautiful location, this unit is so close to the beach. No issues with parking, close to everything. and just a short (although slow because that's just the nature of Kauai's highways) distance from kayaking, snorkeling, and hiking.

Jolie endroit pour un séjour
Légère odeur de cigarette probablement dû au tapis, celui-ci devrait être remplacer par un autre surface (bois, céramique) plus hygénique.

Great Views. Nice Property.
The property is old but very clean and well maintained. Friendly staff. Hotel-style check-in and maid service. Great spot for a family vacation. Kitchen has the basic pots, pans and appliances. AC and water heater worked well. Interior was clean. Views were great. Property is on the beach.

Good location
The unit is very basically furnished. Only complaint was that if you have a unit above you, you hear every footstep, music , voices, etc. Units are in serious need of noise abatement measures.

Great getaway
Overall a great family vacation. Location is perfect on the island as it’s halfway between ke’e beach and polihale beach, the beaches at either ends of the road. The condo was clean and had plenty of bedding for everyone. The pono kai resort is well maintained and has plenty of activities on the grounds should you want to stay close to home for the day. “Downtown” Kapa’a is is right outside the grounds with plenty of great restaurants and shops. The walking path is fantastic and offers great views while you walk, run, or bike. The only downside, was that there were very few cooking utensils, and the knives were horribly dull. I understand that some of those conditions are difficult to maintain in a vacation rental.

relaxing stay
we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wished we stayed longer. The location was walking distance to the shops and restaurants, plus it was steps away from the beach and a walking/biking path. the resort was fully equipped with all the amendities such as pool, gym, etc. We were so sad to be leaving so quickly. we would definitely come back and stay for a week or longer.

Beautiful Ocean Facing Room
Woke up to the most beautiful sunrise everyday. This is the only place I will stay the next time I ma here at Kauai. Perfect location and super clean. Only con: The kitchen is not fully stocked, they had pots and plan, I wish they would have a toaster or rice cooker. It would be perfect when travelling with little ones.

Nicer than most.
To begin, we have stayed at the Pono Kai in Kapaa many times. Sometimes VRBO sometimes time share, sometimes direct. The location is perfect for our needs, walk to restaraunts & shops and a midpoint for the Kuhio hwy. The furniture and decor were upgraded (Not so with some rooms) & the view was great. The room was clean and housekeepers were there every other day. Definitely nicer than most.

We had a fantastic view of the ocean from the lanai.
The accommodations were great! Everything we needed from kitchen cookware to beach towels were supplied to us. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. There were BBQ's throughout the property for outdoor BBQing. The property was well maintained and we were just steps from the beach. Not only would we rent this property again we will tell our friends about our stay!

Great location to catch the sunrise! 3/5 for being more “bare bones.”
Close to the airport, Safeway, has plenty of convenient parking, and is clean! Laundry down the hall is $1.50 to wash and another $1.50 to dry (doesn’t include detergent), so bring quarters! No beach towels/chairs/umbrellas/cooler/etc. No condiments/cooking spray/kitchen essentials except salt and pepper. Minimal cooking equipment (one frying pan/cookie sheet/baking pan - can only cook one thing at a time when preparing meals). Definitely scope out the kitchen before going to the grocery store and plan accordingly. No grilling utensils, but there is a community grill on site.

Great location and great property, especially for the price.
We loved the oceanfront location and it was a great central location for exploring the island. Very close to food and shopping. Plenty of parking, the staff at the front desk were friendly and helpful, and the resort amenities fit our needs for a family with 2 kids. Our only complaints is that the guest bathroom toilet ran continuously. Had hoped maintenance would come and fix it, but that didn’t happen. We ended up turning off the water to it at night. Otherwise everything was fantastic! Highly recommend this resort and will for sure stay again.
