We are with Interval International timeshare, and exchanged to Pono Kai from our five star resort in Vermont, the Trapp Family Lodge. Pono Kai's facilities are nowhere near what Trapp's is, but about the same as your better than average Best Western Motel with kitchenette. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the location right next to the beach, and... more

We stayed in a Vacation Internationale condo at Pono Kai, F-106, in October 2008. We were very pleasantly surprised to find that our one-bedroom unit had a great view of the ocean. It would have been slightly better to be on the 2nd or 3rd floor, but it was nice to be able to walk straight out our sliding-glass door... more

My in-laws gave my wife and I their timeshare for Christmas. I did not have much time to make the decision (about 20 minutes) as to the property of choice. Once I was informed of the property that we would be staying, I started google searches. I found this site and began to read all of the postings. I have... more

My husband and I just came back from a wonderful and relaxing vacation in Hawaii. Kauai itself is a dream-island . . . lushciously green, great beaches, friendly locals.

We stayed at the Pono Kai Resort August 29 - September12, 2008. My parents have a timeshare with BlueGreen. This is not a BlueGreen property. I think it is an RCI. The grounds are beautiful and the staff was very helpful. There are chickens running free, so we heard crowing very early in the am. The first week we stayed... more

My husband and I stayed at Pono Kai Resort from August 30 through September 6. We traded our Maui timeshare (studio) through Interval International and received a one bedroom condo. We had never stayed on Kauai, so we were excited to try something new. I had been watching out for reviews on this site, so I did kind of know... more

We own a timeshare through Vacation Internationale so we booked our stay with them. You should know that all the rooms at this resort are not owned by the resort. Some of them are individually owned and rented out by the owner, some are owned by timeshares, and some owned by the resort. That means that the rooms are kept... more
