Best WLM Reviews
we got a room here through premier Kauai vacation rentals. we got a Studio. We loved the whole place. The studio had a lot of space. It was pretty comfortable. The view was amazing. Every night we would get take out and eat in the balcony facing the Ocean. It was beautiful and worth it.
Our room was an ocean front. Great room, quiet and very enjoyable environment to stay. Room/bathroom was very clean and well maintained. The pool area was perfect in size with plenty of chairs in both sun and shade. The pillows for the bed are small and mostly flat (usable but not great). Room had a wet bar with an included safe (free for use). This is our 7th time staying at Islander since 1984 and each time has been an excellent week or more of fun.
Good overall experience. Room was a little dated. The view from our room was outstanding. Happy hour was a nice time to relax and enjoy a drink by the pool. The hotel grounds are beautiful. Very well maintained. Unfortunately, the beach was not very swimmable.
Very conveniently located, at a decent price on the island - very close to some of the best things to do in Kauai and is halfway between North and South shore - so, you have the opportunity to do a lot with this as your base.
With that type of pricing, it comes with its own caveats - the rooms are old school, slightly outdated and is dire need of renovation. The exterior lawn, poolside and the walkway seemed to be maintained really well, but the room interiors could use some work. We had reserved an ocean view room, but, we never even got the view of the ocean from our lanai (attached) - they did remove the resort fee because we complained, but hopefully, they rectify this for their future guests!
We stay here every time we come to Kauai. If you want to know what "an Aloha Experience" is all about, you'll find it at the Aston (and everywhere nearby) . All Aston employees seem happy: they are pleasant and willing to "go the extra mile" with every type of assistance.||The Aston location is also perfect for quiet beach strolls along the well maintained coastal walkway, which extends a short distance south to a lovely sacred site or north past the Sheraton into a little forrest. Leave the path at any time to walk the beaches. ||We always think maybe we won't rent a car next time and instead just Uber from the airport. Why? Because the Aston has a great central location for everything we might need or want. It is snugged-up behind the Coconut Marketplace, making almost everything a short walk: restaurants, a deli with most necessities, pharmacy, yoga on the lawn, outdoor entertainment, tourist shops, and a weekly Farmers Market. We even walked over to the Sheraton Luau (about 10 minutes). But. . . . we relent and rent a car because having a vehicle is nice for a grocery run; although Aston offers rental bikes, and Safeway is not that far. And of course, a car is needed to to access farther places we want to visit again. ||NOTE: This is not a party area: if you are looking for that; no problem, just head toward Poipu. This is also not a snorkel or swim area: Instead, it is a serious riptide area! No one swims the ocean on this part of the coast. However, the Aston has a nice pool, right next to the little tiki bar and hot tub. In Summary: the Aston rocks....quietly, gently.
Room was clean and comfortable. I had booked an ocean view room and the view from my balcony was great. The garden was also beautiful.
Like name suggests, the hotel is right at the beach. There are several restaurants nearby at walking distance. The beach is great to watch sunrise.
There is no house keeping unless you stay more than 5 nights. Although, being close to the beach, the room requires more often cleaning. The front desk staffs are not friendly. They were hesitant to give coffee pods when asked.
There is no elevator anywhere in the hotel. So, if you have heavy luggage and room on 2nd or 3rd floor, be ready to carry it upstairs.
There is $30/day resort fee that was excluded when I booked the hotel on priceline.
Nice hotel located on east side of Kauai. Beach access, swimming pool, DVD rentals, and free 2 hour bike rental included with the room. Not a full kitchen, but utensils, plates, and glasses provided along with microwave, fridge, and Keurig.
It’s at a wonderful location. The beach is accessible right outside the property, although the terrain and the surf can be rough and unsafe for a swim. Nonetheless, it’s an excellent place to stay. It’s right next to the Coconut Market which has many dining and shopping stalls. I wouldn’t recommend shopping there (but pricy) but the restaurants were amazing. The place felt safe overall and we’d definitely love to visit again in the future. Bonus: Kapaa is more or less equidistant from the popular places in the north and south. This too makes it an ideal place to stay!
