Very dated and run down. Staff not friendly or helpful. I would not stay here again.We liked the oceanfront and proximity to Kaapa.

We actually stayed in another room that wasn’t oceanfront (not sure why it shows we stayed in the oceanfront unit), but it did have some ocean view.
Close to restaurants and the town, so walking distance to restaurants and shops. Nice central location for sightseeing - nothing is terribly far (1/2 hour to the north or south is everything).
Listing and photos are accurate.
Note for fellow travelers who haven’t been to Kauai - there are many dirt roads, so if you plan to wander, get a Jeep or SUV so you can easily travel down some pretty bumpy dirt roads with big rocks in them! It’s well worth it - there are lots of hidden gem beaches and such!

Our unit advertised a queen pullout bed. The pullout bed was a joke! Zero padding. Springs poking in your back. Completely unusable. Seriously?! I ended up sleeping on the floor with the couch cushions. Additionally, the couch was lumpy and uncomfortable to sit on due to broken springs. Definitely need an upgrade on the furniture. That is my only complaint however. The unit was immaculately clean. The views outstanding. The resort well care for.

Walking access to all eateries and stores. Great pave walking trail next to the beach.

Positive, front desk was helpful when we had an issue with our room

Pono Kai is centrally located on the island, so it is the perfect “home” for day trips and exploring. Staff was excellent, friendly, and helpful. Being oceanfront was the perfect way to start each day. The grounds are beautiful and it was so nice to have laundry so close! The exercise room was large and had plenty of options for working out/lifting and the walking/biking path was right there for easy and accessible use. Make sure you rent bikes! We can’t wait to visit again!

We were glad that our suite was decorated with modern furnishings. We loved the view, the great location (near so many restaurants and activities), the activities at Pino Kai, and the quiet solitude of the suite. Choose a suite with ocean view and you won’t be disappointed!! It was absolutely great and I wished we could’ve stayed here for our entire Kauai vacay!

What a beautiful location, this unit is so close to the beach. No issues with parking, close to everything. and just a short (although slow because that's just the nature of Kauai's highways) distance from kayaking, snorkeling, and hiking.

I loved everything about my stay at Poni Kai. The place is very clean. This was my first time chilling to Kauai and I definitely will be back again.

The property is old but very clean and well maintained. Friendly staff. Hotel-style check-in and maid service. Great spot for a family vacation. Kitchen has the basic pots, pans and appliances. AC and water heater worked well. Interior was clean. Views were great. Property is on the beach.
