The Neighborhood:
The condo is located at Pono Kai Resort in the historic town of Kapaa on Kauai. Kapaa offers a charming small-town feel, and the resort is within easy walking distance of local restaurants, boutiques, shops, and grocery stores. If you’re visiting on the first Saturday of the month, don’t miss the town’s lively event featuring live music, local crafts, and great food.
Bicycle rentals are conveniently located right next door to the resort, and you’ll be just minutes from popular ocean activities such as canoeing, kayaking, and surfing.
Explore some of Kauai’s most beautiful beaches, all within about a 30-minute drive, including Lydgate Beach Park, Kalapaki Beach, Kealia Beach, and Poipu Beach.
Just steps from the resort, you can walk, run, or bike along the scenic Ke Ala Hele Makalae as it winds along the Pacific coastline. This beloved trail has even been recognized in the Hall of Fame by the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy. A must-experience during your stay!
Getting Around:
Kapaʻa is centrally located on the east side of Kauaʻi, making it a convenient home base for exploring the island. While there are shops, restaurants, and beaches within walking or biking distance, we highly recommend renting a car to fully experience everything Kauaʻi has to offer.
The resort is about a 15-minute drive from Līhuʻe Airport, and easy access to Kuhio Highway allows you to explore both the North Shore (Princeville, Hanalei) and South Shore (Poʻipū) with ease. For a more local experience, the Ke Ala Hele Makalae coastal bike path runs right along the ocean and is perfect for walking, jogging, or biking.
Ride-sharing services and taxis are available but can be limited, especially in the evenings. If you prefer not to drive, there is also a local bus system, though routes and schedules may be less frequent.

We have stayed in Kauai twice now, but both times on the North Shore in Hanalei. This is our first time staying at Pono Kai in Kapaa and we were not disappointed!! It is definitely an older resort that does not offer some of the other amenities bigger resorts do like a restaurant or room service. The room was exactly how it was described and very clean with all of the basic necessities like dishes, pots/pans, rice cooker, blender, toaster, etc. The beds were very comfortable including the pull out couch. The pillows not so much, but none of us woke up with a sore neck at least. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with fun games throughout and an herb garden for guests to use! Our favorite part was being steps to the ocean..a good beach to hang at is very nearby. The other favorite was their pool and hot tub that was recently renovated. It was one of the best hot tubs I’ve ever been in….very big and HOT!! Lots of bbq pits throughout and my teens loved being so close to all of the Kapaa shops/food/shave ice. We even had a tiny view of the ocean from our lanai! I would highly recommend this resort to anyone. Next time I would try to stay in one of the buildings slightly closer to the beach, but overall we were very satisfied with our unit.
