Great place, great communicatuon, flexible property manager. We had a wonderful time - - our only complaint was that we didn't book enough days, a week was too short! A week is just enough time to begin to appreciate what the community and the island have to offer.

We have stayed in other Pono Kai condos that seemed more like a 'home'. This condo was acceptable for our purposes. Main complaint is the condo could have been cleaner. A garment from a previous guest was found behind the bedroom dresser. In our opinion, the property needs a good 'deep clean'.

My partner and I stayed for about a week at this lovely resort and enjoyed every second of it. The balcony looks out over the resort with slight visibility of the ocean. The condo was clean and and fully stocked with kitchen needs as well as beach chairs, snorkeling gear, etc. Would definitely come back!

Exceptional Service

Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control, we were not able to travel. The host checked on our travel progress often and was gracious in accommodating our misfortune. Per the contract the host was not obligated to assist us in any way and chose to do so out of kindness. For this reason I am recommending this host, as these are the kind of people I choose to spend my hard earned money to support.
