Condo's location in Kapaa was perfect for touring the island and seeing the sights. The condo complex and unit itself are very well cared for. Enjoyed hearing the ocean from the lanai or from the living room with the patio door open. Would definitely stay hear again.

First time in Kauai

We absolutely loved the Pono Kai Resort and the condo unit we stayed in. The location was excellent, the view was stunning, the condo was very clean & uncluttered, the promenade along the beach was perfect and Kapa'a Old Town was a great place to shop, eat, browse or just plain stroll. The accessibility to the other shores made the location ideal. Staying at Pono Kai is definitely a "do-over".

Pono Kai Resort

We stayed here about 5 years ago and came back again. Great area to stay, quiet, beautiful and clean. Had a lovely ocean view from our lanai, area in the middle and easy to get to Princeville and to Poipu. Easy walk to restaurants, food trucks, etc in that area. Bike rentals close by with a nice wide bike lane alone the beach…price is right and would stay here again

We spent 3 nights at Pono Kai resort during our recent visit to Kauai. We enjoyed the ocean front location, exploring to local beachfront and proximity to Princeville for a day trip. The unit was exactly as advertised, well equipped and even included beach items (beach chairs, umbrellas, snorkel gear and ice chest) for our use. We recommend this place!

This nice one bedroom condo was in a well maintained complex on the east side of the island. We felt we were close enough to drive anywhere we wanted to go. We loved our waterfront view, walk-out porch and walking path only steps away. We enjoyed both the beach and the pool. Owner was very responsive. Thanks!

Laid back honeymoon paradise

We had a great time at this condo! My new husband and I wanted a quieter, non-resort type place to stay for our honeymoon and Pono Kai checked all of our boxes. The condo was perfectly stocked with kitchen, bathroom and bedroom amenities and we were so grateful there were some beach toys available for use as well! We loved the decorations and CDs of Hawaiian musicians to listen to while cooking dinner. We loved being able to sit on the patio right next to the beach, sit in the hammocks on the property, and use the pool/spa. We would absolutely come back here for a future vacation!

Everything great except the bed

The unit is fantastic with everything you could need for an enjoyable stay. Has all the kitchen appliances, two snorkel sets, beach chairs, cooler, etc. The property is great as well, with pool, jacuzzi, and lots of activities. The ONLY complaint about this unit was the mattress was so stiff that it didn’t afford a comfortable sleep any of the nights.
