Aston Islander on the Beach

We really liked this hotel and didn't want to leave. It was so quiet! All we heard in the morning were the birds and the waves (birds not chickens). We watched the whales from the balcony each morning from our oceanfront room. The pool was a little small but we didn't have much time to spend there anyway. Everyone was very nice and helpful. The grounds were very clean and well kept. The room was just what we needed, nothing fancy, but it was a great location to visit all parts of the island. It was right behind the coconut mrktplc which was handy for breakfast, lunch and dinner and a little shopping. There is a store that has a few grocery items if needed. They had outdoor grills you can use and a nice little bar. You can't swim on the beach there, but it was still nice to walk on or sunbathe. Would definately stay here again!

We didn't have hot water for 3 days, and the power was gone for one whole day.

Clean, comfortable bed, liked small fridg, microwave, sink and dishes. Beach not much, but like most others. BBQ available at poolside. Resort fee is simply an increased per day cost. Never used included DVD rental, used newspaper to catch sand from shoes. Missed carpeted floor, but understand about the sand from the beach

Hotel located in a great spot and is a terrific value for families. The staff is very friendly and rooms are big. However, it clearly needs upgrading,especially bathrooms.

We stayed at the Aston Islander on the Beach for 8 nights. Overall I would recommend this hotel. For the money you cannot beat this hotel. It is centrally located between the north and south shores. The hotel is older, but well kept. They do not have all the amenities you would find at a Hyatt, but who needs them. The rooms are equipped with a small kitchenette area that includes silverware, plates, bowls, knives, cutting boards, etc. This was nce to have as we ate at the hotel a few nights. I would recommend paying the extra money and getting an ocean front. It's not too much more money, and definitely worth it! I liked the fact the hotel was much quieter compared to your larger resorts. It was easy to kick back and relax!

This hotel was not that great. The room smelled very musty even after we turned on the air conditioner. The room cleanliness was also not great. I had to wipe down everything in the room since there was an inch of dust upon check in. They do have laundry facilities on site, however, they are very strict on when they open and close the room. They were down 1 washing machine and 2 dryers so you had to wait for machines. I had laundry in the dryer and was told to leave it so they could lock the door at 10pm. I would recommend staying in poipu for a much better experience. Better hotels and better restaraunts.

I would stay at this hotel again when visiting Kauai. It is on a a quiet and very nice beach. It is centrally located, making it very convenient to all island points of interest.

Great Resort even though no restaurant there. Great ones nearby, Trees and Hukilau, plus Coconut Marketplace Fish Hut and BBQ Hut. Sandi Kato the Resort Gen Mgr most accomodating, gracious host. Fabulous room (205) with direct ocean view overlooking the meticulously kept-up grounds and pool which has drink bar from 1:00pm to 9PM.

Very convenient walking distance to Coconut Marketplace stores and restaurants,beautiful views, in room hotel safe very convenient,loved having kitchenette as it helped to shave food costs,convenient driving location to all areas on island,Guest laundry room a plus,Concierge helpful with arranging taxi service for evenings where dinner reservations were a long drive away

location perfect needed more parking space !!!! lots of shops near by!!! beach is OK
