the room was nicely appointed but small. It had a balcony with a side ocean view. There was a pool near the beach. Small, but had a nice palapa bar. no restaurant, but a couple nicer ones nearby. The beach was small, and only swimable in a few areas, and lots of driftwood all over it. The parking was convenient enough and the grounds were maintained  well. It was a good place to stay for the money if you're interested in going out each day to see the sights.

This hotel was located in an area with several other hotels. The local food in the area was reasonably priced we loved the fish hut and Harelys. You have everything you need within a 2 min walking distance so you don't need a rental car if you just want to enjoy the beach and have access to all the things you need. The staff was so wonderful and sweet.  The room included unlimited free movie rentals and they had the latest movies so the kids were happy to relax and watch a movie when the sun went down. I absolutely loved the location, staff and hotel I will make sure I stay here next time I go to Kauai. It was like having our own private beach, there was a lot of drift wood on the beach but we only saw 2 other people on the beach during our 4 day visit, much quieter and nicer than a crowded resort. Overall I loved our stay at this hotel and I think anyone who stays here would to.

We loved this place so much we came back three times in 9 days. We started with a one night stay, oceanfront room. It's about 50 feet from the beach and you see the waves braking on the shore from your bed when you wake up. The bed is comfortable and there is a small kitchenette in every room (frig, sink, microwave, coffee). Also in the ocean front  rooms there is a couch. All rooms have private balconies or ground floor porches where you can walk out on the beach. BBQ's by pool if you want to cook there. Nice Pool and Pool Bar and great jacuzzi next to pool. Mostly adults here and very mellow but not too quiet in that you can go to the pool/bar and mingle with the guests or sit quietly at your room. We to the Kiahuna Plantation also which was beautiful but a lot of kids and the beach was packed. Also went to Waimea Plantation which was very rustic but clean and too quiet for us. We went in March. Rates were almost twice for oceanfront then at Islander. So back to the Islander for our last night!

We had torrential rain and flash flooding during our stay here which impacted on our experience at the hotel. The laundromat onsite only opened to 10pm which was very inconvenient when we had a lot of wet clothing to wash. Not enough parking onsite. We were turned off by the $10 per day resort fee which was suppose to be for wired internet access, ps2  dvds, local newspaper. Due to the torrential rain and road closures we weren't able to go out in the evening so our entertainment was hiring DVDs (which you are only limited to 2 DVDs out at a time) and watching them via the ps2. The ps2 did not work, remote to tv did not work, CRT quality was bad. We weren't able to get hot water running the first night which we were told that we had to wait for the hot water system to warm up and perhaps maybe too many people were using the hot water at the same time in the block. The actual issue was that the hot water switch for our room was not turned on. Despite the negatives the room was a good size room, clean and was equipped with a fridge and microwave.

The hotel's rooms are fairly comfortable and and the landscaping is really lovely, but those were really the only redeeming qualities. I arrived late on a Saturday night and there was zero parking available. The staff member checking me in said that there is a bar down the street and that people from there park in the hotel lot. I was told to park in  the red zone and told I wouldn't get towed. I was worried the whole night and upset that they don't designate parking spaces for hotel guests. I had booked for partial ocean view and learned that "partial" is the key word. From the first floor, I definitely could not see the ocean.

The hotel will charge you for an “Amenity Fee”. This fee is to cover Internet access, unlimited DVD, and a “free” local newspaper… Well…here is my experience: 1) Internet: The internet access is poor and wired, and the RJ45 connector was broken, so, I had to hold with one hand the cable all the time, otherwise I would loose connection. I got so frustrated  that I just gave up. 2) Unlimited DVDs: There is a machine in the laundry room where you can select DVDs, no many titles, but a fair amount. When I put the DVD in the DVD player, I was able to watch 5% of the movie because the machine shut down by itself. I tried several times with the same result. Again I got frustrated and gave up. 3) Free local newspaper? I really don’t care about it… When I was doing the check out, the front desk employee asked me for a credit card to pay for this fee. I gave her my credit card, and I was going to let it go. When I commented my problem with the internet access, and the DVD she had some attitude, and she was careless, so, I get really mad, and I decide to fight for it. She charged my anyways. I requested the manager, and a very nice lady, took care and refunded me the charges without hesitation. It’s a nice hotel, I have been there several times when it didn’t belong to the Aston chain; I might go again, but I will be very careful about any extra fee.
