Our vacation was in mid September. We loved our stay at Pono Kai, and hope to return next year. The resort is clean and beautiful. Our room was the right size for two people and it had everything we needed. It was nicely decorated. The staff was friendly and helpful. Location was close to shopping and restaurants. 10 out of 10!!!

The unit was in a fantastic location, within walking distance to shops and restaurants and easily accessible to activities in the north and south. The grounds of the condo community were well kept and there were many activities. Our only disappointment was that the pool was closed for 3 days during our stay for repairs. These repairs were planned and the property management company could have let us know ahead of time, but did not. I specifically booked a property with a pool so was disappointed we could not use it for several days. I reached out to the property management company and they said they were sorry they forgot to tell us. I asked for a partial refund. They said they would look into it and then strangely asked if I even paid for the condo. They said they didn't see records of my payment. I gave dates and amounts and they cofirmed I paid, but i haven't heard from them since. It was a strange interaction. I held off on writing a review because I wanted to give them an opportunity to right the wrong. Had they tried to do something for us, even a gift card to dinner or something, I wouldn't have mentioned it in the review.

This is a great unit with view of inner courtyard. Has great murphy bed to pull out for watching TV and extra sleep space. Nice kitchen with everything you may need. Only problem were the roosters who wake you up very early. Staff were excellent.

The resort had a bunch of lawn games, the concierge had all kinds of beach equipment for rent which was great! The room was clean, had plenty of dishes and enough cookware for our purposes.

This condo is in a nice location in the building. Over looks the grounds and pool. Nicely decorated with enough kitchen supplies. Nice breeze thru the unit with screens so you don’t really need the AC

We were impressed with both our condo and the resort. The condo was clean with updated furniture and was well appointed. Shops and restaurants are a short walk and Safeway is a short drive. The resort offers many amenities at no extra charge, such as a pool, hot tub, pickleball court, tennis, exercise room and BBQ facilities.

Pono Kai's been a family favorite because of the location. Property is on the older side (walls are very thin), but overall, a very comfortable stay for my family (with an infant). Check-in and check-out was very easy. Only weird thing about our stay this time around that I don't remember encountering before is that the rooms don't get serviced unless you stay 9 or more days. Would love to have had our place serviced after a few days, being that we stayed 8 nights.

Central location to the island traffic a bit heavy but manageable.
