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

Great location
They cleaned our room they didn't bring us tolet paper, and we had to call the desk at 5:30 am and request tolet paper, 2 days later, housekeeping did not clean our room, we called the front desk and they told us we would have to talk to housekeeping the next morning. We didn't do this because we were leaving that day, we asked for a late checkout for our flight out was at 9:30, and they refused saying the room was already rented. I felt like the natives were very resentful toward the mainlanders, they simply did not like us. I would not stay in this hotel again. If you left a night, when you came back there was no parking, we had to park at the mall across the street. I don't think I would visit this Island again, It was not a good experiende.

Great Hotel
All of us were very pleased with every aspect of the property. There was plenty of parking and the proximity to the Coconut Market was great. We walked over a couple of times for lunch and grabbed some pizza for dinner one night and sat out on the patio and ate it. Very relaxing. We were able to check in one room early which was great. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to others. This was the last stop on a Hawaii Island Hopping trip and it was definitley the best. The location is great for seeing both sides of the island. There was a coffee maker in the room and a hairdryer which was great. We went for a swim in the pool and had a frozen drink at the pool bar. At $5.00 I thought they were quite reasonable for Hawaii. This is a great resort.

Most but not all of the shops at the Coconut Market stay open late. The pizzia shop was great and there is another place there (can't remember the name) that is great for breakfast. It is on the highway side. You can't miss it. Look for the lines.

Very comfy beds & smells great
The rooms are very well appointed. They have granite countertop, a small refrigerator, coffee maker and sink. Smells great when you walk in and the beds are the most comfortable I've had in a hotel. I thought the view would not be so great because I got the garden view room, but it was beautiful. This hotel is right behind the Coconut Marketplace, which has great shops and places to eat. Also very close to Wailua River.

Take the Wailua River cruise. Well worth the modest fee of $20.00. Also, the Dole Whip soft serve is great.

family friendly
The Resort Quest Islander was very comfortable and a great value for the money. Our room was right on the beach and being able to listen to the sound of the waves in our room was fantastic. The local market place provided anything you could want at an easy walking distance. I highly recommend this resort for the money.

My review of ResortQuest Islander on the Beach
Beautiful, peaceful on the beach experience. Staff super friendly. The views are breath taking. It is delightful! We had a surprise frig, small sink and microwave in the room. Nice feature as you may not want to dine out for all meals.

This hotel is a great value. The rooms are new and refurbished. The grounds are beautiful. Its a small hotel with a nice atmosphere. Its located on the East coast of Kauai, perfect for exploring the entire island. We really enjoyed our stay here, and we would stay here again.

Very Professional and Friendly
The Hotel Staff were extremly helpful and upgraded our room free of charge. Which made are room larger and the view of the ocean amazing. I realize that this was the off season during our visit, however, it made the trip that much more memorable. I would recommend and stay there again in a heart beat.

Good for the money
Nice location, but I thought the beach view would be a little more on the beach. You could see it if you went outside but not from in the room. Other than that, everything was brand new and I had a great stay. I will likely stay here again unless I run accross a bunch of money and can stay at one of the high end places.

Great Beach Location
This hotel is located in a great location. Right in the middle of the island and right on the beach. Close to a lot of good restaurants.
