We enjoyed our stay at Pono Kai Resort J201. We loved how close we were to the water. We watched the sunrise every morning. Also a close walk to town to get coffee or a bite to eat. We only used the pool once but it was very clean. The resort is well kept and beautiful. The bed and bedding was comfortable and the kitchen had pretty much everything we needed.

This is a great resort to stay at, but this particular building (J) is rather close to the Hwy and traffic noise. The bedroom is closest to the noise so I slept on the couch. Otherwise this unit was fine if you don’t mind the accompanying loud music and noisy engines even during the day.

Stay at Pono Kai

We love this location as it is conveniently located near downtown Kapaa, the restaurants and beach. We used the pedestrian and bike path along the coast for morning walks. We appreciated the elevator to the second floor. Management was very responsive when had issue with television.

A Wonderful Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second stay at Pono Kai. We love it here and will definitely stay again. Our only complaint is that the sofa and the bed are not the most comfortable. But otherwise everything was exactly as we hoped it would be. We highly recommend Pono Kai to anyone visiting Kaua’i.

The location of the complex is good…on the beach, and close to good restaurants & grocery stores. Unfortunately , the condo is quite old and very dated. It needs a complete gutting and renovation. It also was not very clean. There is black mold in the bathroom & kitchen. The paint is peeling, & the lighting is terrible - very dim. We differ with previous reviews though, as we thought the bed was very comfortable. The property manager was good at responding and addressed a few issues while we were there. Additionally, the pool was closed for our entire stay. We had the beach for sunbathing, but it is not a swimming beach. We went to both Poipu & Hanalei, which we enjoyed immensely. We provided that property manager with many improvement opportunities. I truly hope that they take them to heart, as this condo is a diamond in the rough.
Black mold all along entry door frame/jam
Peeling paint
Front door does not close completely. Stronger draft coming through.
Black mold on all tub/shower fixtures

Clean and convenient to restaurants

Overall, a good value but a bit dated. Small changes could make a difference such as raising the height of the bathroom mirror for moderately tall people (5’10 &5’11”) so you don’t have to bend over to see yourself. The Fujitsu compressor on the lanai is loud. The bed could use a pillow top for added comfort and new bed pillows would be very appreciated.
