Beautiful location

Camper55672509876 (Houston, Texas) on Mar 31, 2026

They have beautiful property next to the ocean and bike/walking path. Great location close to shops and restaurants. I had a nice ocean view and the room was clean but could use some updating and is a little small for the 1 bedroom. The beach is a good place to swim but there is a nice beach close by. It was very quiet and peaceful. This is a 3 story property without elevators. The service from the team was friendly and helpful.

Paradise in Kauai.

Excellent location especially with the ocean in the front and Coconut Marketplace in the back of the resort that helps us to shop around and buy food with many convenient stores.

Nice property ruined by cockroaches

Andrew M on Mar 11, 2026

The property itself is actually very nice. The location is great, the grounds are beautiful, and it looks like it could be a really enjoyable place to stay. Unfortunately, the rooms are completely overrun with cockroaches. We saw multiple roaches crawling around the room and bathroom during our stay. It completely ruined the experience. It’s a shame because the hotel has a lot of potential, but the pest problem makes it impossible to feel comfortable staying here.

Good with a couple of negatives

traveltosun (Washington) on Feb 27, 2026

We stayed a couple of nights in February at the end of a longer trip. Overall we were pleased with the property. Pros: Good location - on the beach, with shops, restaurants, etc. all walking distance. Pool and hot tub area was very nice, and the bar area was fun and lively in the afternoons. The staff we encountered both at the front desk and the bar were friendly and engaging. Cons: We paid in excess of $1K for 2 nights for an "oceanfront" room. My expectations and what their website pictures portrayed were different than what I got. The building my room was in lied perpendicular to the ocean, not parallel, so my view was actually a side ocean view with a view of the building next door. I have booked many oceanfront rooms over the years, and this one was pretty disappointing. I would classify this room as "oceanview" not "oceanfront".....which was a definite price difference. Passing along as something to be aware of if you book direct with Aston....you may not get the room you see in the pictures. While the pool area was very nice, the pool was cold and unheated. This may not be an issue on a sunny 80-85 degree day, but unfortunately, the weather when we were there was cool and overcast, so we weren't able to use the pool. One last thing to be aware of, the complex itself is large and very spread out. If you have any mobility issues, this could prove to be a problem, depending on what room class you book. It was quite a trek from where the parking area is and where our room was located, and we were on the 3rd floor with no elevators. We're both in good shape, so it wasn't an issue for us, but the long walk to our building and schlepping luggage up 2 flights of stairs would have been an issue for our 80 year old parents. Overall, I liked the Hawaiian vibe of the property and the location, so I would stay here again, but I would not pay extra for a view unit unless I was booking direct with the owner and could see actual pictures.

Great Two Weeks in Paradise

pastaron (Lethbridge, Canada) on Feb 20, 2026

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We enjoyed our room which had a great view of the ocean and was literally only steps away! The room was clean and had everything we needed. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Very centrally located near shops, restaurants, tours and a host of beaches.
