We stayed in this unit with another couple. It is a two bedroom unit, fully stocked kitchen. Dishwasher, and frig with icemaker. It is impecably decorated. The lanai opens right out on the grass, and then there's the ocean. The owner Cindy was great to work with, and was very resposive to our needs. There isn't a washer and dryer... more

I read all the reviews about the resort before i left to go to Kauai. Some was not very favorable. My friend had the 2 bedroom condo booked thru Global Connection. We stayed in the J building 107. It was beautiful. Our condo was right in front of the pool area. We heard no noise from the pool area nor... more

My husband and I were given this timeshare for 5 days during our honeymoon and really enjoyed this place. We found it to be clean and the staff was friendly and very helpful. I thought the location was prime as you can walk to shops, restaurants and Java Kai coffee place. We didn't mind the roosters making noise all day... more

My mother-in-law gave us her timeshare week here at Pono Kai Resort. Reviews seemed mixed, but I want to set the record straight and give this resort a little more credit than it's been getting in the past. We would definitely come back here if we were on a budget. If you belong to a time share, this is a... more

If you believe those negative comments, too bad. If you want a Disney experience, go somewhere else. I own here and am looking to possibly buy out right. Built in 1975 this place is kept up wonderfully. The place is quiet and in a great location. I have never had a "noisy" neighbor. Creaks and groans from the floor or... more

Hello. I am surprised that I am seeing so much negativity in these reviews. It almost makes me wonder if it is the same place. It was beautiful and clean. Yes, the beach that the resort looks out on is not swimmable, but it gives beautiful sunrises and there is so much to see elsewhere that we didn't want to... more

Buyer beware applies big time here. If you are a timeshare owner, beware that prime oceanfront units may not be available to you once you sign on. If you are renting be aware that many second bedrooms have no AC. Also be aware that 'ocean front" rooms may be tucked back on the second row with a peek-a-boo ocean view.... more

We were thrilled with our stay at Pono Kai. Arriving late on Wednesday was not a problem. Resort was only about 7-8 miles from airport on THE main road. Even though you could tell the resort was not of new construction, it had everything one might need; internet access, 2 remote TV's, air conditioning, right on the beach, a walking... more

Stayed 8 days at Pono Kai, gifted for our 25th anniversary. It was our first trip to Hawaii. We are not high-maintenance people and reading previous reviews really helped with expectations - knowing it wasn't the newest, latest, greatest resort; noisy floors from upper units; thin walls with next door units; no swimming beach directly in front of resort and... more
