We know how difficult it can be to try & plan for the extracurricular stuff (beach equipment, sand toys, games, etc) — we strive to make sure our guests don’t have to worry too much about it. :)
Proximity to old Kapaa town is great, a lot of walk ability to stores, restaurants, etc. Property was exactly as pictured. Great communication with owner. It was nice to have things like assorted spices, cooler, beach towels, etc available!

Pono Kai's proximity to downtown Kapaa's shops & restaurants and quick access to the North or South of the island make it hard to beat.
This condo is very nice, looks exactly like the pictures and the host was very responsive. The front desk people were helpful and the grounds we beautiful. The pool was under construction when were were there so that was a bit of a bummer but overall, great location.

We might be biased but we think Pono Kai is the best location on the island..... easy & quick access to the West, South, and North with the proximity of downtown Kapa'a and its charming shops & restaurants.
Jared was amazing. So responsive and very instructive. The place was also amazing, really easy check-in process, the resort is nice and feels safe, the room itself is very spacious and includes all the essentials for your stay. We particularly were grateful for the beach wagon, boogie boards, beach chairs, and snorkel gear that were available to use for free. So much cheaper and easier than renting gear for the week. The central location provided us the ability to enjoy both the north and south shores of the island from a nice “home base”. Kapa’a itself was awesome as well.

Really happy that you had a great, friendly experience staying at our place in Pono Kai. The location on the island is hard to beat -- especially being able to walk to the local shops and restaurants in Kapa'a.
Great, clean unit in a lovely resort community close to everything. The owner was a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended.

Love that you were able to utilize the amenities at Pono Kai and the extras we provide. There is a ton of stuff to do around the resort and with downtown Kapa'a so close it makes for easy walking to great food & shopping.
Our favorite was the little chairs that we could back pack them down to the beach and sit. We used some other beach stuff also. Nice to not have to buy everything.We enjoyed the kitchen being stocked and access to a bbq

We know how stressful traveling can be so we try and make things as smooth/easy as possible.
This was the perfect location. Loved getting up every morning and walking the path along the ocean. There is a grocery store just down the street and lots of restaurants you can walk to. Downtown Kapaa is right on the other side of the condos. We did cook several meals and found everything we needed in the well stocked kitchen. We definitely would stay here again.

We enjoyed the access to shopping, restaurants, beach, bike path. The resort itself had tons of activities and a nice pool. The ground level entry was super convenient.

Having a ground floor unit is one of our fav things about the condo. It's so nice that we can easily watch our kids play outside from the comfort of our couch.
We also love all of the activities/amenities that Pono Kai Resort has available -- tennis, croquet, land chess, putting green, etc...
This place was so perfect for us. Walk to town and ocean was wonderful.. Loved the hammocks on the grounds. Loved our stay!!

We're so stoked you had a great time at our place and were able to take advantage of the amenities that Pono Kai has to offer (the hammocks are awesome) and the location close to downtown Kapaa.
Our stay at the Pono Kai was fantastic! The location and the amenities available were great. The communication with our host was quick and easy, we experienced no issues. We should gladly stay again!
Great location and great place to spend some quality time with family.
