People - this hotel is a good price but read between the lines of even the good reviews!!! The hotel lobby and grounds are great - but that is as far as it goes!! Not only are the rooms in desperate need of renovating but they are not CLEAN!!! We had to pre-pay for the two rooms we reserved or we would have left! The first two rooms we were given were dirty, musty, below standard bedding and furnishings and one of the rooms had RAT droppings down the middle of the room on the carpet!!! Another review talked about bugs - yep! We were given two different rooms which were just a little bit better - but I think from now reading the reviews - every room is in disrepair - nothing works...doors, safe, etc. Holes and stains in blankets and sheets! Damp smells - and you get a free wake up call every morning from the local roosters at 5am!!! No internet in rooms only in the lobby area! And that amenity fee is a JOKE!!! Those things are included even in the cheapest hotels!!! We do not have to stay in expensive hotels but we do expect cleanliness and no bugs or droppings for any price!!! I have informed AAA and have written Aston Hotels, Inc regarding our experiences and would not want anyone else to be disappointed in these accommodations without first being informed! Again - please read between the lines on all of the reviews - everyone is saying the same thing!

This hotel was a great central location if you plan to do a lot of traveling around the island. The lobby was nice and hotel staff were friendly and helpful. The concierge desk offered mats for the beach and other beach gear to use for free. The hotel also had a beach/pool towel service. We ate breakfast at the restaurant once and it was decent. I liked the island pancakes and it was enough food to last me all day. Extra bonus; we happened to be there when Steve-O's comedy tour was at the hotel. Lydgate Park was right outside and was ok for us but would great for people with kids.
The hotel rooms were pretty dingy as were the mattresses and bedding. I left a closed bag of chips on the desk when I went to bed and woke up to the whole desk filled with bugs. They addressed the issue by spraying the desk with some sort of bug repellent. I still saw a few in my room for the remainder of the trip but it didn't bug me because, I was in freaking Hawaii, plus we only used the room to shower and sleep. The room did have a beautiful view, although the sliding door/window was super dirty and did not open in our room.
Overall this is fine for the price but if you plan on staying in hotel room or are more of an upscale traveler then this wouldn't be for you. For us, it was fine.

To enjoy Hawaii at it's most relaxing, then Kauai should be the island of your choice. Want to just walk out steps from your hotel to sandy beach and safe ocean swimming area, then the Aston Aloha Beach Resort is calling you to stay and play! Literally just steps away I'd Lydgate Park with the only protected Ocean swim area on the entire island of Kauai, the scenery is beautiful! Aston Aloha Beach Resort truly graces the "Ohana" (Family) spirit both in their friendly, helpful staff and well-kept garden oasis setting! Restaurant, bar, two swimming pools on property. Plus, you cam enjoy a Luau without having to leave your hotel! Because of this hotel's location, staff, and setting, we now have a new Hawaii destination location ... Aston Aloha Beach Resort ...to which we will return to often!

We checked alot of reviews before went went to Aloha Beach in Wailua, and most were kind of negative so I was worried it was going to be a dump, not so....
Although it does seem a bit run down but by no means is it a total wreck. The location is awesome, right on Lyngate Beach, great place to swim and watch the sunrise every morning, not to mention see the whales jump all day. Very easy drive to Poipou and Hanalei.
The staff is great, always helpful and happy to see you.

Only negative things are have to say are they really should get some new bed linens, very poor. And no in room safe??? What's up with that? If you bring lots of cash, which we did you have to carry it around with where ever you go, kind of a bummer.
