Kapaa is often overlooked for the northshore and Poipu.
Kapaa is often overlooked for the northshore and Poipu. It is actually the pulse of the island and you will run into more locals here. Restaurants are conveniently located and a wide variety at decent prices.

Kapaa is a great central location.
Kapaa is a great central location. The traffic is bad, but most people drive with the Aloha spirit and let you merge in front of them. I would stay there again but definitely avoid booking anything through Booking.com! Finding a reasonably-priced place to eat is a real challenge, not only in Kapaa but everywhere on the island. I spent almost $100 for two of us to eat at a Mexican restaurant.

We chose Kapaa because of it's proximity to the beach and to the Hindu Monastery which we visited multiple times. Turned out to be a great choice because it also seemed quieter compared to the beach crowds we saw in Poipu or Hanalei/Princeville. There's a grocery in walking distance to the hotel, small stores as well in a strip mall, great restaurants (the top rated Mexican restos are in Kapaa) all at fairly reasonable prices compared to what we saw in other parts of the island.
The hosts, Carol and Les, were wonderful. We couldn't find a cab or Uber to take us to the car rental facility (by the way, don't even think of not having a car in Kauai). They took the time to drive us there. They gave us a tour of the garden which is beautiful, made us aware of the local places to visits and eat and were generally very friendly and pleasant. You could not ask for better hosts.
Beautiful property with fabulous pond and garden literally right outside our bedroom- koi carp, dragonflies, birds and so many lizards. We loved it. Fresh fruit provided, plenty of coffee etc and good little kitchen where we could make pasta. Easy parking, lovely host and great area for seeing Kauai. Sooo much nicer than staying in a resort hotel, would highly recommend.
This is our favorite location we have ever stayed in Kauai. Being able to walk 20 steps to a perfect beach is unbeatable. The hotel provided a complementary crib for my 1 year old (very helpful) and was walking distance to the marketplace with multiple restaurants and an actual market (which is great because you can’t get a rental car on the island right now).
We had an oceanfront room, which I would highly recommend. There is no air conditioning so an oceanfront room is a good choice for that reason as well. I have been to Kauai 14 times and have stayed at Kaha Lani every time but one. The view is amazing. Centrally located. You do not hear the traffic (just the ocean and the roosters :)
Location and staff were excellent. They experienced some unexpected weather the week before our arrival but made unbelievable progress to get things back up and running. Little details in Coco B were very thoughtful like fresh flowers everywhere. The bed was the most comfortable bed I've slept on in any hotel/inn/B&B style environment.
Livin by the beach!!! one of the best properties I have stayed in, felt like home and we loved how it was apartment-hotel style. having our own washer and dryer and having a kitchen where we can make home-cooked meals was just so great. Having our own quiet beach was such an amazing experience. Will definitely be back
I loved the design of this property. Everything felt well thought out and maintained well. Everything felt new. Comfortable beds and clean rooms. The live music everyday was a treat. The restaurant was fun and had a great view. The value for the money of this hotel was outstanding.
We had a nice room on the 2 floor with an amazing view of the ocean.
It was very useful to have in the reception a filter water machine + ice machine. Also there is a grab and go breakfast for free.
Around the hotel there are nice restaurants and places to eat.
Perfect location to explore Kauai. Very relaxing and private place to stay. This was our second time here, and it was if anything even better than before. The pool was always clean, the on-site spa and restaurant were awesome. We will be back.
The hotel employees were very friendly and supportive and helped with any request we had.
There was a familiar atmosphere, maybe not the most modern equipment, but an excellent overall experience. We would definitely come back.
Did not have breakfast there. Location of Pono Kai was perfect for traveling to sites North and South Kauai....also convenient to shop and dine in neighborhood (Kapaa, Waipole, Lihue, Nawiliwili).
10/10 staff and rooms are air-conditioned which is a rare find in Kauai at this rate! My first unit didn’t have hot water and the front desk staff upgraded me to a different suite with no issues.
We've stayed in multiple places in Kapaa and found the Coral Reef to be the best of the lot. Price was great. Staff was easy to work with. Room was above expectations.
Lovely, and very well equipped cottage so you can prepare your own meals etc. Was also great to have bikes and kayaks, and BBQs to use. Close to airport and Kapaa town.
Nice pool area, located directly at the sea and good point to explore the island, big breakfast buffet available, you can borrow bycicles, nice hot tube.
