“Woe is me!!!”

Many maintenence issues, cracks, horrendous squeaks from the floor above, ridiculous rules about checking out equipment - until the tennis courts were dry, you couldn't use croquert, bocce, horseshoes, volleyball - even though those areas were dry, staff knew nothing about plants on the ground, none labeled, lawn equipment going almost every day, all day, poor selection of cookware, too early of a checkout time - 10am. nice looking grounds but only coin operated washer/dryer. pool/hot tub closed too early and not policed. Many people with glass drinks. Did get a quick fix of the remote. Cats and dogs running loose. Not impressed with the dry and overly long orientation. Had to go way out of the way to get beach/pool towels and had to take them back to avoid charges Really need some quality building maintenence people on staff Low water pressure in shower head Quiet flushing toilets Should have book(s) identifying plants, birds, and other creatures

“Would stay there again.”

This condo is in the perfect location. It's a one hour drive in either direction to the end of the road. The grounds are beautiful and there's plenty of food and shopping within walking distance. There is a beach right there but much better ones on the north shore. The ac is great, but the sea breeze with the windows open is nice too. I would definitely stay there again.

Other
Get a Kauai guide book (the blue one) and stick to there recommendations, they are spot on.

“Perfect for a family or group”

We were very impressed with the room. It was very clean and perfect for 6 people. Two bedrooms and two full baths with a pull out sofa for the kids. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed, and a dishwasher. They even supply you with new sponge, soap, paper towels, etc. There is no daily cleaning, so you must make your own bed, but I thought it was better that way. Grills around the property were perfect for BBQ. Beach is right there and okay for a quick swim. Games around property were good for kids (volleyball net, croquet, etc.) Kapaa is more pleasant than Poipu, in our opinion. Everything you need is within a mile. **tip**hit up Costco in Lihue and stock the kitchen for the entire stay. Save a bunch of money instead of eating out. Movies can also be rented at the local grocery store red boxes, and a dvd player is in the room.

“Not Impressed”

I was totally disappointed in the mix up over my reservation. We had to be cramped in a 1 bedroom condo when I had paid for a 2 bedroom condo. I certainly hope that I can get some sort of refund for my overpayment.

Area recommendations
None. Too much traffic!

“We had a great time and we'll go back. Just one staff member who was rude to us.”

This is a place for families to go. There were lots of things to do on the grounds. Lots of green grass with bocce, tennis, basketball, volleyball, crochet, and putting greens. They had board games we could borrow and bbq's that people shared every night. Right on the water with a board walk that went about 5 miles out, I ran it almost every day. It was absolutely beautiful all coastal. We'll go back in a hearbeat!!!! The Safeway and Papaya's (a health food store) were 1/2 mile up the Kuhio hwy.

Area recommendations
Poipu is where a lot of people stay. We stayed in Kappa and loved it. Like I said it had a great boardwalk to run on. We were in between Poipu and Hannaleui. There were a lot of water falls to hike or kayak too. We took surf lessons, snorkeled, saw the wet and dry caves as well as the light house and went horseback riding to Silver Falls. We didn't get to go tubing because that was booked so book early if you want to do that.

“A real deal”

We got there at night,the front desk guy was fast and ready to answer any questions.The map of the hotel,not so clear. Room was nice and clean. Only problem if you are staying on bottom floor and somebody from room above you uses the toilet at night,you hear the water coming down like a waterfall(master bathroom only).

Area recommendations
Kapaa the best shaved ice is across the street from Pono Kai. Waimea (best shrimp station).

“Truly a magnificant Kauai experience - loved it and plan to go back to Pono Kai!”

As I mentioned above - Pono Kai will be my return destination. The walk, jog, bike PATH right next to the beach is fabulous. Pono Kai is clean and a very friendly staff. Their amenities were such an asset to this trip, i.e., clean bar-b-ques for cooking that steak, absolutely lovely fish pond for kids to feed fish, chickens and roosters were a kick to see and hear, enjoyed the lady who does the crafts faire there twice a week, pool and hot tub were clean - never too crowded when we were there. Location is the best - Safeway and Longs Drugs and ABC Store right there within walking distance. There's a variety of restaurants and shops to see. I can't wait to go back there.

Area recommendations
Kapa'a has the best of everything available. There's a real diversity of stores, restaurants, bicycle rentals, etc. (Princeville is too rainy. Poipu is too hot.) Yes, Hanalei was gorgeous, but so isolated way up there. We did enjoy the shaved ice on our way to Waimea Canyon! There seem to be lots of locals in Kapa'a and I really liked that flavor. Wish I could move there.
When to go
I'd recomment September or April, best months for sight seeing.
Getting there
You definitely need a rental car from Lihue - you're only 10 minutes from the airport.
Must see
The Kauai Island has so much to see - Waimea Canyon, Wailua River, NaPali Coast, Opeaka Falls, Wailua Falls, Fern Grotto, lovely beaches everywhere, Spouting Horn, "Queen's Bath" out of Princeville and the Kilueau LIGHTHOUSE!! Must see the Silver Falls Ranch - we all went horseback riding (8 year old included) and their HORSES WERE FABULOUS, very gentle, clean stables, no flies; you've got to see their Ranch - pristine area. Kayaks and Catamarans are a must do! AirVentures was a life time memory tour of the Island.

“Great place to stay”

No swimming beach. Very good location. Close to everything. Walk to local restaurants, check out a guide book at the local library its just a few blocks away. Very will kept grounds. Great pool and hot tub. I would stay here again. This place has everything you need and its just a short distance from the airport.

Traveler's tip
Shop at local Save Way and Grill outdoors at your condo and enjoy the park like setting.

“great trip with 'the kids'”

we took our son and his wife (ages 31 and 26) on their first trip to hawaii (our fifth trip) - and no one was disappointed! we love just regular places - don't need all the bells and whistles - and pono kai was perfect. the room was comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, plenty of room on the lanai, quiet at night, great pool. we don't go to hawaii to stay in the room, but the room we had was just fine (bldg. g, 3rd floor). if weather was not so good, we just headed south - bad weather in hawaii is really not that bad! would stay at pono kai again.

“Will return”

The room was wonderful. It had a great view of the ocean. We would get up early every morning to watch the sunrise from the balcony. Great ocean breeze kept the room cool. We only ran the air conditioner once. Pool area was very nice, grounds well maintained. They even have an herb garden that the guest may harvest from. The roosters take some getting used to, but over all a great stay. We plan to return and stay in the same room.

Traveler's tip
If you are looking for a good money saving place to eat. Try Pizetta's at happy hour. A slice of pizza is only $1.99, it was delicious. Makes a good quick dinner.
