Aston at Poipu Kai

We stayed in the pink buildings which while the color seemed odd it made it easy to find. Our units called "Makanui" was centrally located literally between Shipwrecks and Brenneckies Beach. Literally an 8 minute walk either way and your at some epic beaches. Our unit was upper unit which I suggest had great sunrise views and peek-a-boo ocean views. Our particular unit had full kitchen had to ask for rice cooker but other than that had everthing we needed. Unit was slightly older but worked fine. Who needs a TV in their room on vacation.......right! Pool was essentially a private pool right outside of the unit which made it great to chill and rinse off all of the salt after a beach session. Overall the Aston management team tended to all of our needs/messages promptly which was appreciated. Grounds were super clean and BBQ's were just outside of the unit were cleaned everyday. Now like other reviews have stated there will be s TAX SHOCK when you check-in. It sucks but it is what it is. Price to pay to stay in paradise!!

A truly magical place to stay on this magical Garden Island. Breathtaking views. Peaceful, comfortable, and a perfect location in Poipu. Unfortunately, I was surprised by a “standard cleaning fee” added at the end of my visit, which slightly dimmed an otherwise flawless experience.

We actually were there almost two months. part of January, all of February and part of March. The staff was excellent and always tried to meet and solve problems. The accomodations were large which was nice, but the chairs became very uncomfortable after sitting in the a short while and the cable company's service was very sporadic.

1＞ Aston at Poipu Kai is a property management company and not a hotel chain 2＞ We booked an airbnb type of accommodations with Aston . The main aim was to take part in the Kauai Marathon and we wanted to stay somewhere close by 3＞ The apt we got was a disaster . The temperature and humidity was so high during the week .The marathon was on September 1st. There was no air-condition thro the apt , only a portal ac was kept in the bedroom which barely cooled the place . The fans in the room barely rotate , just circulating the hot air! When we bought that to the attention of the management , they said that "oh we are a NON AC property management company" which is totally baseless, this is Kauai!!!! , It is not mentioned at all in the website! So we were not able to use the front room , kitchen or anything else except the bedroom due to the heat and humidity 4＞ The apt given was on level 1 and stairs to that were too steep, We had to carry our luggage up the stairs!!! If this was the deal then we should have been told upfront about it , we could have chosen something else more comfortable We stayed at the KAHALA 1901 Poipu Road, Unit 922 , posting this here so that it helps folks decide ! We also found a dairy which mentioned this air-condition issue way back in 2019!!! Also pls note that we paid 880 dollars for two days!!! 440 for single day with no air conditioning! Making it the most expensive rentals ever!!!! Having said this the front desk person Kaysha and John(the maintenance person) were very customer friendly and helpful. They provided us with two fans which did not help at all In a nutshell be careful of what you are given , ask about the AC and also the stairs ! There is no use of having a big apt if you can use only the bedroom and have to carry your luggage thro steep stairs

Very homey feel. Clean. Staff was very nice. Only thing is the check in if you come in late. Was confusing with the whole lockbox thing. It was easy to understand once we were got settled in. But if you are coming from far and new to the area their system was confusing. I would definitely stay here again despite the late check in process.

Overall good, but I saw advertisement where there is AC but there wasn't. Also, when I called to confirm the stay - the operator also said there is AC, but there wasn't. They gave me a portable AC, but it didn't work at all :(. This is my biggest grievance. Mostly clean and comfy, but the walls and switch plates need to be wiped down. There were stained.
