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.

Very good for the price!

Very clean. Excellent service. At night, nothing much to do near the hotel, except relaxing. Small beach with trash.

Kauai

Location for this hotel was very convenient. It is right in the middle of highway going around the island so we were able to get to the north or south side in about an hour going either direction. The bathroom was large and the room was comfortable.

Islander on the Beach

Great place to relax and soak up the sun in beautiful Kauai. Only steps to the beach, with shopping and restaurants just across the street. The location is perfect for taking in the sights at either end of the island.

A thoroughly enjoyable vacation

I had a spectacular vacation stay at the Aston Islander. The room was clean and well maintained. The staff was friendly and helpful. And the location was great! I spent a couple of days just hanging out on the patio reading and staring out at the ocean. But it was also conveniently located for trips to the other sides of the island.

Fabulous Hotel for Honeymoon!

We honeymooned in Kauai at the end of November and this was the perfect place to stay. In relation to the island this is central and is about an hour to the north and south end. Make sure to mention to the staff that you are there on a honeymoon and you will most likely get upgraded. We were lucky enough to stay in an ocean view room. The rooms have small kitchens so you can save a bit on food. The only negative is that the rooms are a hike from the parking lot but the view and location are well worth it! Also try sleeping with the patio door open to hear the ocean all night long!

Very Nice Place

This is one you just cant beat for the price. Dont be cheep, The staff is very good. I strongly recommend the Aston. Good luck and have a good trip. The internet is an extra charge in the rooms (and it not cheep) the lobby is free if you bring your own PC. They have PC's there but they charge extra TO use them.

Great Location, Clean Rooms

The room was very clean and comfortable. We stayed here during our honeymoon and the central location of Kapaa makes it great for a first time visit to Kauai since it's a shorter drive to Poipu and Waimea than the north shore. I wish the rooms had wifi, we hated having to walk all the way to the lobby to get online. The pool could also use some serious updating, the tiles were old. The beach was pretty drab since we went in November, but I don't imagine that it's very swimmable any time of the year. But for the price, this is a very nice location..right by the Coconut Marketplace, very convenient for dining and shopping.

Caffe Coco was our favorite place to eat...it's sort of tucked away, but so worth it...eclectic decor and menu.
