Vacation
Loved location and all the activities they allow you to use. We also had access to the trail and a view of the ocean. Was in walking distance of dining or groceries.

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.

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.
