1. LocationMarc Pono Kai Resort is located on the East Shore, overlooking the famous "Sleeping Giant" mountain range. It is set on 13 beachfront acres of tropical gardens.
Little paths, an herb garden, a tricking waterfall and a pond filled with colorful carp give this place an extra charm. You will often see white-faced whistling ducks, black and white swans, and Egyptian geese gliding through the lagoons.
You will be in a good central location, an easy drive to either South or North Shore. Coconut Plantation Marketplace is nearby, with many unique shops, restaurants, lounges, and even 2 movie theatres.

3. Restaurants
Marc Pono Kai Resort does not have an on-site restaurant, but there are quite a few restaurants and cafes within 1-2 miles from the condo. Here are our 3 favorite places:
1) Flying Lobster/Voyage Restaurant - located 0.1 miles away, at the Courtyard by Marriott Kauai
Start off your day with a hearty full-American buffet breakfast, then relish an affordably priced lobster dinner or other American and Hawaiian regional specialties in a tropical setting. Come over on Saturday night for the popular Prime Rib and Seafood Buffet.
If you are traveling with children, keep in mind that each child 11 years and younger eats free with each paying adult.
2) Royal Coconut Grove Lounge - located 0.1 miles away, at the Courtyard by Marriott Kauai
Relax by the pool and feel the tropical breezes on your face. The lounge serves lunch and appetizers, and many tropical cocktails. Each evening, the popular Happy Hour has a different island drink on special. A couple of nights a week they have a local band playing traditional Hawaiian songs in the courtyard.
3) Kauai Coconut Beach Luau - located 0.1 miles away, at the Courtyard by Marriott Kauai
This nightly show starts at dusk with a torch lighting ceremony, and then follows with about an hour of hula dancing and singing. Balmy breezes and silhouettes of swaying palm trees set a great stage for this colorful celebration of Aloha.
There is also an all-you-can eat buffet with traditional Hawaiian delicacies, and an open bar.
You can book the luau directly through the hotel once you arrive.
4. Things to do
- Beach
The beach stretch in front of Marc Pono Kai Resort is a mile long, one of the best on Kauai. You can jog, walk, or ride along the paved beachside path. Early morning sunrise will be something to remember! During winter (Dec-Apr), you can watch the whales play right off the shore. - Family Activities
There are many family activities, such as ping pong, shuffleboard, volleyball, and croquet. You can rent a bicycle and cruise along the 2-mile bke bath or try a round of putt-putt golf.You'll find great play areas for children in nearby Wailua.
