Utterly relaxing condo haven on the east shore of Kauai
Vacationers looking for nice, affordable beachfront digs in one of the top locations on Kauai will find much to love at Aston Islander on the Beach. Low-key and peaceful, the resort sits on six landscaped acres along a strand of golden sand. Strolling the beach and lounging poolside are pleasant ways to while away vacation days, and sunrise doesn't get much better. Grills are available for guests and the hotel rooms and one-bedroom suites offer home-away-from-home conveniences. The adjacent Coconut Marketplace has dozens of shops and restaurants.Highlights
- Relaxed oceanfront setting
- Walking distance to Coconut Marketplace
- Free in-room Internet access
- Complimentary parking
Location
Kauai's Coconut Coast is the most central and convenient for vacationers who want to explore all that the Garden Isle has to offer -- which is to say, a lot. Aston Islander on the Beach is located almost mid-way between Waimea Canyon to the west and the riveting cliffs and dramatic topography of the Na Pali coast to the north. Poipu Beach is about 15 miles southwest. The eastern shore has its own compelling sights, too. Peaceful Wailua River, Wailua Falls, and Kauai Backcountry Adventure's Lihue tubing are just a short drive away.Rooms
Teak furnishings, private lanais, air conditioning and free Internet access give accommodations an inviting island ambiance with contemporary appeal. Aston Islander on the Beach offers 198 units -- hotel rooms to one-bedroom suites -- in the low-rise, walk-up buildings set around the pleasant property.Features
The beach at Aston Islander on the Beach is perfect for strolling and sunning and the pool is a peaceful respite from the frenetic world. But sports, sights and restaurants are nearby, allowing guests to choose how to spend their time. Lydgate Beach Park, for example, draws swimmers and snorkelers of all ages to its protected, sandy lagoon, and nearby Wailua Golf Course was named by Golf Digest as one Hawaii's 15 best courses.Dining
There are no on-site restaurant but grills on property offer family cookouts. Guests can walk to restaurants at Coconut Marketplace.Transportation

excellant choice for family
The rooms are equipped with a mini pantry, providing microwave oven, toast oven, and a big fridge, which made it very convenient if you just want to prepare your own breakfast or dinner. Would definitely recommend it! The only down side is that the beach is not really suitable for swimming (not sure if it is because of the winter season though)

Wonderful Vacation
This hotel is in the perfect spot to quickly get to both the north and south shore of the island. It is located right behind the Coconut Market Place which has some nice shops, a farmers market on Tuesday, a free hula show on Wednesday night, and Eggberts (which is a great place for pancakes!) We strongly recommend doing the Napalali Coast tour by Catamaran, Port Allen is only 45 minutes away from this hotel. Thankfully we booked early enough that we avoided the $10 per night amenity fee, but overall we enjoyed our experience at this hotel.

Nice Resort, Parking limited
Very nice resort but experience spoiled by lack of parking in the evening. Ample parking available in neighboring resort but you will need to find security personnel to issue temp parking pass every evening. Recommend resort issue parking pass for overflow parking upon arrival since they are aware that parking is an issue.

our piece of paradise
we returned to islander on the beach, as we honeymooned here six years ago our room was one floor below the room we had then this time,. Both have the best "partial ocean view" imaginable. The place to come for a romantic tranquil, vacation.

Pure Relaxation
I paid a little extra for an ocean front room, and I was thrilled that I did! I spent many hours just sitting and letting the sounds and sights of the magnificent Pacific soothe me. The location of the hotel was truly convenient. I was checked into my room within an hour of landing on Kauai, and both west and north coasts were within an hour's drive. There were quite a few excellent hikes and other activities close by as well. The staff were all helpful and friendly; they truly seemed to want me to enjoy my stay. All in all, I had a fabulous time and would not hesitate to recommend the Aston Islander on the Beach to friends or family.

Quite good for the money
since hotel is in kapaa which is located to the east, north shore and west shore drives take same time (highways do not loop the island). room itself is clean but the lanai was not. rusty AC and filled with bird feces. Nihau & Kauai buildings very close to the beach. awesome view for sunrise. Nihau building does not have obstructing trees, Kauai building might have some. Molokai might have somewhat good views. higher floors have better views (3rd floor is highest). no elevators though. free wifi, microwave, fridge. no free breakfast but get some from nearby foodland or walmart. this is still fine sunrise can be enjoyed from the lanai. housecleaning does not do dishes. overall, it's a quite good for the money. 4/5.
