I have stayed at the Pono Kai on two separate occasions 1st was my 10 year anniversary the second with the entire family last year. Each time I always book for two consecutive weeks love sitting by the pool on Sunday the first week when everyone else is leaving. Both units were clean and very well maintained, D and F... More

Pono Kai is a lovely location. Yes, it is a little dated but that is all part of the charm of the facility. If you expect the Ritz Carlton, go somewhere else. This is not for you. Our 1 bedroom unit is spotless with new carpet, drapes, vinyl flooring and paint and NO bugs. The furniture is slightly used. The... More

We stayed at Pono Kai in the beginning of January this year, and we loved it. It is not fancy and some of the furnishing/amenities in the condo itself were a little older and worn at times but we did not have any problems with cleanliness, ants, or our a/c. The pool and hot tub were great, and all of... More

My husband visited Kauai for the very first time for our 10th wedding anniversary. We knew some folks that have a time share near the water at Pona Kai, and got a "deal" through our timeshare company for the same resort. Make sure you know what you are getting when you go!! Our friends like their condo near the water,... More

My husband and I stayed at Pono Kai for 7 days with some friends who had a 2 week timeshare there. This was our first time in Kauai and it was an overall fantastic experience! Here are my thoughts Pono Kai Resort. The unit: We were in a one bedroom, ground level, ocean view room. Since we were with our... More

Two-bedroom (loft) unit, sleeps six, one bathroom, MBR in loft, full kitchen, private lanai, third floor of three storey building. Front desk was helpful. Concierge services were great. Hint – attend as many of the orientation sessions as you like. Two-for-one giveaways are awarded to participants and as we learned, if your number is called for an adventure you don’t... More

We booked this unit sight unseen through our vacation club. When we arrived, we found a 2 bedroom, 2 bath unit with a loft (3rd bed) awaiting us. The unit we had (307b) backed on the ocean. It was an incredible view and it was awesome to just wake up, step out on the lanai and see whales jumping. The... More

We just returned from a one week stay at the Pono Kai. Our unit was clean, well stocked and comfortable. It may not be the most current decor, but for the price, it was just fine. We had none of the issues that were described in the other person's posting, however we were informed that some of the buildings were... More

Ants on the floor in the kitchen, patio door that was broken with a crack in the glass, a/c unit in living room so the bedroom was roasting every night, nasty dirt every where (couldn't take shoes off because it didn't feel right), and carpeting from the 80s. The only enjoyable experience was the pool. I am writing this on... More
