Aston Islander on the Beach

nice location and reflex! !!!_ we love to come back

The one thing that made our stay extra special was we paid extra for a room with an ocean view and they gave us a room right on the ocean which made our stay even that much better. We fell asleep every night listening to the waves crashing on to the beach, it was great! The maid service was excellant and they don't come around until the afternoon which was nice. The location is great, it is in the middle of the island which cut down on the driving we had to do. If you are looking to get a lot for your money the Islander on the Beach is the place.

Great value, central location. The Islander staff was helpful. We loved staying here. We barbequed almost every night down by the pool. The grounds were lovely, and well kept. We loved going to the beach every morning for the sunrise. Parking was tight, but the staff was helpful in finding us a spot. The market across the street had the typical tourist things, which was great, even had a little hula show. Eggberts was fun to go to. All in all we love Kauai, and staying at the Aston Islander made it an affordable trip.

We stayed here for nine nights on our honeymoon. The staff upgraded us to an ocean view room. We loved the central location of the hotel: close to stores and restaurants, and the east shore location made both Poipu and Hanalei not too far of a drive. We appreciated having the hotel on the beach. We could watch sunrises, sunbathe, go to the pool, go to the room to take a nap...everything was right there.

Nothing special but it's an inexpensive place to crash on Kauai. As other reviews have said, make it your base of operations for exploring the island. Only thing about the room that drove us a bit nuts was the tiled floor...there seemed to always be sand on it, no matter how many times the room service folks vacuumed or mopped it...and with barefeet the sand stuck, and, well, it can get everywhere...

I have no complaints about this deal. The grounds and room were well maintained and nice. We were happy to get a super great value by choosing this hotel with no restaurant. We had an empty frig and a microwave. The coffee they provided was excellent and we could walk across the parking lot to the coconut mkt. place for eateries, shopping, and supplies. The location on the east shore was perfect for us. I would stay here again . Staff was helpful and prompt.

Great spot in the middle of the island. Cheap and fairly comfortable. Beach sucks tho but most do on Kauai.

Our first priority: a clean room (I've been let down so many times before) was met. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We got the ocean front rooms and the ocean was so close it sang us to sleep at night. The tiki bar was convenient for drunkening without risks of driving back to the hotel. The price was stunningly low given all the above. The only down side was the bar closed at 10pm and there was no restaurant in the hotel (though there were several in walking distance).

Clean. Beautiful. Our second stay at Islander. We'll go again for sure! Thanks!

Hotel was right on the beach, very clean, even though furniture was a bit old. Very quiet rooms. Grounds were perfectly landscaped and maintained, pool was great, staff was extremely helpful and accommodating. The ocean could be a little rough for swimming, but most days was OK. Plenty of dining and shopping options around.
