Put "Islander" in the text search box above--I've seen this place mentioned several times. You might also put "Kauai" in the box for additional information.

Stayed there 3 weeks ago and I was very satisfied - great location, room and grounds were both in good condition. We had an oceanfront unit, though most units have pretty good ocean view. Nice pool with pool bar. We got a discounted rate through a website, and I thought the Islander was the best value of our entire trip. I like the east coast location so that you can do activities on both the north and south coasts.<BR>Just two minor things you should be aware of- first, the parking lot is too small, so you sometimes need to park out on the street, though there is always space there; second, the beach is only suitable for swim/snorkel on very calm days, it was rough surf all but one day when we were there.<BR>

Totally agree with Bill's eval.<BR>We've stayed there 10 times and have just booked again for 167 days from now.<BR><BR>The only time we've had any prob there is when they were in the middle of remodeling around 3yrs ago and we finally moved to a condo in Poipu. Too much noise and dust at the time. <BR> <BR>Great pool bar. During our Dec/Jan stays we can see whales, dolphins swimming by and it's not uncommon to see a seal wash up and take a day long soonze as some sea turtles sneak on by.<BR><BR>Walking distance to some good restaurants, shopping, groceries.<BR>Not a Hyatt, Marriott, P'ville by no means. 1.5* IMHO.<BR>Kal

We're going to Aston Islander in a couple of weeks for the 1st time. Any recommendations about restaurants? How about golf courses?<BR>Dale
