Hotel Information: Finesse distinguishes Pono Kai, right down to the rope-wrapped poles holding up tiki torches. Large wooden chairs permanently installed by the beach allow guests to sunset- and whale-watch or just dreamily contemplate the vast, blue ocean. The hot tub next to the 22-by-40-foot pool is a roomy 10 square feet. Picnic tables in the poolside gas-grill barbecue area include three that are wheelchair-accessible. Charcoal grills are available along the beachfront. Lush gardens screen the pool, but beachfront lawns feature only coconut trees so the open space remains compatible with the broad ocean vista.

Amenity highlights: Nearly deserted, the mile-long beach beckons guests whether rough water discourages swimming and snorkeling or calm water invites them. A biking/jogging path runs parallel to the beach. Lounge chairs are available on the beach, on sunning lawns, or around the pool. In addition to volleyball, two putting greens, two tennis courts, shuffleboard, and the croquet lawn, there's also a lawn for bocce.

Insider tip: A pretty herb garden near the pool allows cooks utilizing units' kitchens to liven up meals with a fresh-herb selection.

Property Amenities

Pono Kai is comprised of 13 acres and 246 units in 10 three-story buildings constructed in the plantation style popular on Kauai.

The lobby includes two activity desks for arranging golf times, luaus, helicopter sightseeing trips to the spectacular Napali Coast, and all other activities available throughout the island. A competing activity desk offering discount bargains is tucked away in a lobby shop where videos, snorkel sets, and boogie boards can be rented.
