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.

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.

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.

We really enjoyed our week here. Close and easy to walk to shopping and dining in Kapa'a. Beautiful, peaceful grounds. The pool and jacuzzi were great at the end of the day and very well kept. We cant wait to come back.

Central location to the south shore. Close to airport, Wailua river and golf. Great accommodations. Check in process took some time, as they appeared to be training and had some confusion regarding taxes. After that, no further issues.

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.

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!

Generally positive experience at Pono Kai. Started off rocky as front desk had deleted our reservation and weren’t super helpful about fixing it. Had some trouble communicating with host as app wasn’t working properly and host was a 6 hr time difference away. Otherwise the rest of the week went well and we found Kapa’a to be a good central location for exploring the island.

Loved being by the ocean-view bike trail and the resort activities like tennis, putting greens, pool, etc. Walking along the beach was very scenic, too.
