    It was a well needed guy's trip. We wanted something not to fancy. We arrived late was greeted with aloha from Chanel. Super friendly, funny and kind. The view was amazing and room was well kept. overall experience 4 1/2 stars.

    Majestic! No photo in the world can capture for you the cool refreshing trade winds that accompanies this scene

    Lovely vacation condo in a near perfect location in beautiful, Kapa'a. Stayed here a few days while visiting several friends of ours who live in diverse parts of Kaua'i. We are no frills people so we're rarely disappointed ... this location is prime! Central to access to the northern part of the island, quick access to the airport and good access to the south and west (just avoid what the locals call "the Kapa'a crawl" at rush hour). Absolutely mesmerized by the prevailing trades that made it so cool and breezy ... excellent for sleeping or just relaxing and enjoying the view. We didn't have time to test the pool, sauna or jacuzzi but we will try to hit these next time. Honestly with so much to see on this island, pool seems so trivial. Everyone was awesome and everything was great. Definitely appreciated the new standard operating procedures where housekeeping doesn't come to your room unless you call. We don't need housekeeping daily as we are trained adults who can make our own beds, wash our own clothes and take out our own trash. This aspect gives the resort a homey feel and less of a hotel. Definitely will try return on our next trip to Kauai. Mahalo for reading my review.

    My wife and I had an amazing stay at an amazing island (Kauai). This is one of my favorite places on Earth. New employee Sini so personable, high energy, big smile and truly engaged. Great hire by Worldmark. We spoke the day I checked in for about 5 minutes and on my last day I walked into reception and I asked one question to her. What is my name. She took a moment to think about it and got it right. With the volume of people that are in and out it is very hard to remember people but she has exactly what I would seek for my business if she lived on the mainland. Great hire WM please take care of her she is a keeper. Your grounds crew does an incredible job as well I spoke with a few and watched them start there day at 7am to make there guest memorable with the grounds and the views! Mahalo Brent

    Technically I give this 3.5 stars. It's an older unit. However, it is very clean. We had just came from a week at Worldmark in Kihei and our unit there was quite dirty, so the cleanliness was very welcome. The grounds are beautiful. It's on the water, although on a non swim able beach. They do have a nice grassy area where you can lay out and look at the water, and a nice pool and hot tub . One day when we were there the pool was quite cloudy. I'm not sure what that was about. Didn't swim that day. Now... they do not have air conditioning here. When I'm in Hawaii, I generally don't use air conditioning. I enjoy that. However, it was problematic in this instance because the dryer vented INTO the unit. So anytime you want to do any washing or drying, your unit would get very humid and there was really no way to get rid of that. I had several sleepless nights because we needed to wash our suits and towels at the end of the day. It just got hotter and stickier than it needed to be. The beds all sagged a bit. There weren't many families here. Not an issue for us... I particularly appreciate it not listening to a chorus of Marco Polo all day! It was quite serene. Now, the town is not fancy but it is centrally located. You can easily go to the northern or southern part of the island in a reasonable amount of time. I think I would probably stay in this area again next time. I'm not sure about this particular property for the future because I did find I didn't sleep well here, which was disappointing.

    This was our first time visiting Kauai. We stayed in a 3rd floor condo. The grounds and pool were nice. I spent many evenings and mornings sitting on the lounge chair overlooking the ocean. No beach access, but you can walk down a little ways and there is a small sandy area. Bike trail access right next to condo. Staff was nice and accommodating. The ONE thing that would keep me from coming back is the bug problem. Ants all over the unit and the roaches . They sent someone to spray the unit but the whole complex needs to be fumigated. Yes, the unit had no AC which sucked, but sitting outside on the balcony or on the lounge chairs was a relief and as other said, you get a good cross-breeze through the unit. I can handle the heat and humidity but the ant and roach infestation is not acceptable.

    Great location.

    Waves crash against the shore drowning out most other noises. We are separated from the ocean by the pool and a small strip of sand. View of the ocean is amazing from up on the third floor. I watched as light of the sun began to illuminate the darkness and it appeared from the ocean. It began as a slight golden glow until night became day. The birds came with the sun. A good variety patrol the area for leftover bread Maggie left on the patio. I spotted a cardinal, sparrows, pigeons, and mynah birds. I listen to the birds singing. Their songs mix with that of waves. This resort is peaceful and relaxing. There is no AC but a breeze blows through the patio to the front door which you can leave open due to the locking screen door. We stayed in August and while it was warm I didn't mind the lack of AC. The lcd tv has HDMI ports in the back to plug in a laptop or gaming system. Washer and dryer is in the unit so you don't need to pack a ton of clothes. Full kitchen has limited spices, pots, pans, and utensils. You will need cooking oil and maybe more spices. There is no elevator but I'd love staying in our 1 bedroom + loft unit on the 3rd floor again.

    We have been a Worldmark owner since 2006 and this is our fave resort. Of all of Worldmark. This location is prime!!! I been reading these reviews and wonder if they got the wrong resort. Worldmark must keep Kapaa shores! All rooms , every single one, is an ocean front , not just ocean view room. It's so gorgeous. It's not fancy, but it's clean and so beautiful! Rooms have new appliances, Fresh paint, comfy bed w crisp linens and fluffy pillows. I stayed at pono kai for one night and couldn't wait to rush back to Worldmark Kapaa shores. We got ocean front beach and lovely shady trees , soft grass , beautiful blue-tiles bottom sparkling pool. Our room had a washer / dryer unit inside. Totally spoiled here. I had 3 hard to please teenagers on this trip , and all agree that this stay was heaven. Oh and the complimentary Kona coffee in our room was strong and delicious. Very accommodating staff! We love you Worldmark Kapaa shores!!!!! We are so sad to leave today and will rush back soon.

    We have been here for 4 days and it has been wonderful. Spectacular sunrise viewing from our Lani, the pool is refreshing after a balmy day. Staff is friendly, condos are we'll equipped, grounds are well kept and we loved the 3.00 movie rentals. It's walking distance to Safeway which is a huge plus! The bad, no air conditioning but we did have fans and if you opened the patio and the front door you had a great breeze in the room. the down side to that is everything in the room stayed damp including our sheets, (no linen changes by the way).The added bonus the light switch in the bedroom gave me a not very nice jolt more than once and as you can see, Day 5 of our vacation and we have assorted fungi growing in the bathroom. Over all the place is nice and the ocean view is priceless, it's in average condition for a condo built in 1974 with what appears to be minimal repair work done when they have water damages. but opt for spending a little more and stay in a location with AC is important to you.

    I wish I could give zero stars…read more Our stay started off on the wrong foot, and unfortunately, it set the tone for the rest of our trip. We checked in, and right away, the room wasn't impressive. There was a strange scent lingering in the air--like something was being covered up with multiple plug-ins. Everything felt dated: the furniture, the decor. The kitchen looked decent with updated appliances, but that was about it. We tried to brush it off and went to the pool (which looked much smaller in person than in the photos), then came back to the room. That's when the real nightmare began. My youngest daughter went to take a shower in one of the bathrooms. Moments later, I hear screaming. I run in and see sewage--yes, actual dark, smelly sewage--coming up from the shower drain. My daughter is crying, I'm shaking, and the stench is overwhelming. We immediately called the front desk, and someone was sent to "unblock" it. I begged the manager to move us to another room due to the smell and potential health hazard, and all he said was: "There are no rooms. You can check out, or stay and we'll send housekeeping." Excuse me? This isn't a spilled drink--they're talking about cleaning up sewage with a mop? I asked if they planned to professionally decontaminate the area, and the answer was no. Just their regular housekeeper. It wasn't until I was clearly desperate--three kids, nighttime, a trip we booked months ago--that they finally offered to send us to their sister hotel for one night. But we'd have to pack up, drive there, then return the next day--basically waste precious time and energy. This was a special occasion trip. We paid extra for an ocean view, and it was supposed to be an anniversary celebration. And to make things worse, nobody seemed to care. The manager responded with a condescending tone like I was overreacting. He actually said, "These things happen once in a blue moon." Okay--then have a plan for when they do! It honestly felt like he thought he was doing me a favor by offering a one-night refund or a small room at a different hotel. No real apology. No accountability. Just a lot of shrugging and gaslighting. We ended up staying, but were only refunded for one night. The second bathroom was out of commission (we didn't feel safe using it), so our whole family had to share one shower for the rest of the trip. The awful smell never fully left the room. Also--the in-unit washer and dryer? The washer smelled horrible, was full of sand, and looked like it had mold in the plastic lining. Just gross. This whole experience left a horrible taste in our mouths. I honestly don't understand how this place is being managed. If the rooms are owned by individuals and managed by this hotel group, do the owners even know how badly things are being handled? What was supposed to be a beautiful anniversary trip with our kids turned into one of the worst travel experiences we've ever had. Stay far, far away from this place!!!

We arrived early in the day so we're not able to get into our room but the staff held our luggage and recommended a few places to eat and watch football. Once able to get into our room which was on the 3rd floor looking over the pool area but far enough away from the noise. The room was quite large with a great kitchen area with granite counter tops and nice appliances. Also a large bathroom with tub and separate shower area as well as two toilets. It was a one bedroom. There was a small lanai off the bedroom and you could open the sliding door from the living room. There was also a washer/dryer in the room. The view from the room looked over the whole pool area which has a winding pool that you can walk around over to the main pool. They also had gas grills to use and many people did. One note is if you open the sliding door in the living room area and don't match up the line in the top of the doors, the air conditioning doesn't go on. We thought the air conditioning quit. After calling the front office someone came within an hour. Told us about the line. We also had an issue with the washer and after a call to the front desk a maintenance person was there within an hour. The staff we interacted with were very friendly and very helpful. Giving us recommendations for a place for fresh fish to grill. There is also a small restaurant which we tried a few nights for some drinks and appetizers. The views of the ocean are great. There are also chairs to sit on the beach area and enjoy the water. The beach is not large but very clean and nice to relax at. There is a shopping center across the street to buy things for the condo. We will stay here again next time in the area.

    After a failed attempt at staying at a different property on Poipu that turned out to be ant…read moreinfested (ants were literally crawling all over the bed, walls, floors and shower), my wife found Aston Islander available for a VERY last min booking on the same day at a reasonable rate. Check-in took awhile, but the front desk people were super friendly and provided us a complimentary bottle of wine when they heard that we were staying for our honeymoon. Daily housekeeping is apparently not offered, but we did ask that fresh towels be provided daily. This request was hit or miss, and we often found ourselves needing to go to the front desk to ask for a change in towels the next day. The room itself is surprisingly spacious and clean, although older and dated. It was quite amazing to wake up to the sight of the beautiful Pacific Ocean right outside our patio window every morning. Although the waters on this side of the island were not protected and too rough for us to think about jumping into the ocean safely. We were told that seals and sea turtles would occasionally make their way onto the beach, however this was apparently more of a rare sighting and never materialized during our stay. We actually just wound up going to Poipu most evenings to see the sea turtles come in to rest on the beach. There is a DVD machine near the front desk where you can rent movies for free. And a Playstation in the room to watch the DVD's with. However, the dual shock controller definitely had taken a lot of abuse and would just rumble randomly whenever the power was turned on. And most of the buttons either did not work or would only work sporadically. There are no elevators here, despite the various buildings being at least 3 stories tall. We wound up having a 2nd floor room and found ourselves hauling all of our heavy luggage up multiple flights of stairs. If you are elderly or disabled, you should definitely request a 1st floor room. Additionally, they do not have any real lighting on the outdoor common areas that connect the rooms with the front foyer. Instead, there are just the small, garden solar lights stuck into the ground along the paved path. This is honestly quite a safety issue as the area is literally pitch black at night as you're either leaving the property or coming back. With only the small lights on the floor to guide your way while you hope you don't trip over any cracks or unseen objects. The hotel has a large, private parking lot that is shared with the nearby businesses on the same property lot. However despite the large amount of parking spots, we constantly found ourselves needing to circle the lot looking for a free spot whenever we returned back later at night. We suspect that some locals may be using their parking lot for temporary/long-term parking, as we did see a few vehicles that had multiple tickets on the windshield during our stay with warnings of towing due to abandonment. Despite the tickets/warnings, we did not see any of these vehicles actually towed during our entire stay here. Despite the issues outlined above, we did overall enjoy our stay here. And would recommend this property if you're looking for a slightly more affordable option than many of the high-end resorts that dot this island.

Overall, I'd give my experience a solid three stars. First off, the staff was wonderful. Peggy at the front desk was the sweetest and made us feel right at home. The hotel grounds were stunning, with a beautiful pool area and lush surroundings. And those chickens? They were everywhere! A fun surprise for a first-timer like me. We had a garden-facing room on the third floor that still offered a decent ocean view. The room was a bit dated, but I loved having a little kitchenette with a fridge, microwave, and sink. Plus, the DVD rental in the lobby was a nice touch since every room has a DVD player. There were a few surprises, like no elevator, so lugging our bags up three flights was a workout. Our room wasn't ready when we arrived, but we got two free drink tickets for the Tiki Bar, which made the wait more enjoyable. However, the Wi-Fi in our room was spotty, and there wasn't much help available. Luckily, I managed to hop onto the neighbor's Wi-Fi to stream Netflix, though the local TV never worked, which was a bit of a bummer. The early morning rooster calls were definitely new for me, but I came to appreciate them as part of the island charm. Parking was tricky if we got back late, but on the bright side, the location was fantastic. We could walk to the Coconut Marketplace, and the vouchers and coupons we received were a nice perk. Overall, despite some hiccups, the beautiful island setting and friendly service made my stay memorable.

Hot tub didn't use but was working and was hot enough. Staffed pool area with board games to lend, yoga mats, beach/pool towels. Snack and soda vending machines. Walkable to all conveniences. Friendly staff. Barhroom towels are fluffy and clean (very white). 2 coffee sachets were provided along with some sugar and Creamer packs. Plenty of paper towels and toilet paper and soaps and shampoos. Icemaker worked like a dream. Came with cooking ware and plates and plastic water pitcher in fridge - yippee. Old school coffee pot and blender. Functioning oven and stove. We used one of the gas grills outside that has a light so you can see what you're cooking. Didn't get a message 1 week prior to checkin so was pleasantly surprised to find all comforts of home. Master bedroom was big with 2 closets. We stayed in the other bedroom with king bed and closet and bathroom just outside the bedroom door. Great set up for 2 couples or family. Wifi and TV worked perfectly. Place was clean when we arrived. It's an updated unit with island feel. It's not the Ritz but for the price and amenities we would stay again.

    The customer service was pretty good, to where it was their saving grace as far as I'm concerned…read more The location on the island was cool, because it seemed like it was in the middle, so going to most places on the island was convenient. This place was recommended to us from a work colleague. Months ago my wife asked for us not to be placed in a room on the main street. Well, that just where we were placed. And it seemed like we were told to just accept it and like it. During a week's stay, we got to hear every fire truck, ambulance, etc. at any hour. Think you can enjoy a week of that for your vacation? I think I got better sleep on the plane home. We have stayed in Princeville, like 6-7 times in the past, and I think we'll go back to Princeville in the future. Honestly, I don't think I'd waste my time going back to that resort.

We loved our 2bedroom villa, while we had plenty of space the property itself is small enough that walking anywhere doesn't feel like a chore. Here is where we fall off and don't quite hit the 5 stars. Our villa was super clean. Toilets weren't fully cleaned upon arrival and they definitely didn't do a better job during our stay. The couch and blankets had a few mystery stains that grossed me out. Cocktails and the restaurant are insanely expensive. We are talking 28 dollars for a cocktail. Additionally the staff member Nancy (pool attendant) was rude to me. I wasn't able to locate a dry chair in the sun at 4pm. so I asked an employee for permission to use a chair near the cabana. Permission was granted but she wasn't happy about it. So asked me to move, while I didn't have issue with moving I did find it rather unprofessional of her to yell at me for not reading the sign and while she offered to help me when I asked to a dry chair on the sun she walked away ranting about my lack of awareness. To make matters worse the same employee had a separate issue with my husband in reguarda to pool towels. When I tried to address it with the front they weren't very helpful. All in all we did have a great week there and hope to go back.

    The view is -- WOW! The beach right there. Gorgeous. My…read moreissue was the heat. It's an open restaurant with no doors and being steps from the beach it should've been breezy, especially New Year's Day. They had fans over head but were not using them. I asked if they could turn them on and the lady said she would and never did. That was horrible. Trapped heat and me do not agree. The other thing is the bathroom. It's in the hotel and when asking where it was, I was told "that way" with a point. I went that way and entered the first doors but those were the hotel rooms. I left and went in the next doors and there they were. There was no sign. The "that way" direction was not helpful besides knowing which way not to walk. I've been to a few luaus and they usually split up the different islands in dance and it's apparent. Here, I was lost. It felt rushed and the story didn't -- well ?what story? Really. It was still a wonderful night. We celebrated my son getting engaged that day. Nothing could've killed our night. There is another one on Kauai that is more authentic. I forget which one since it was in 2012 when we went but it was amazing. One thing that was very disappointing was being steps away from the beach yet no viewing of the pig being unearthed. That's a huge part of the luau experience and that was the biggest disappointment. My sister, nephew and (now) daughter-in-law had never been and we were excited for them to see it.

    Amazing time! Our first luau. It was incredible. Food was amazing and plentiful!! Dancers and…read moresingers were great as well. Beautiful view!
