Aston Kauai Beach at Makaiwa

Flying into the beautiful island of Kauai we immediately knew we had chosen the perfect honeymoon getaway, with the lush green landscape, crystal clear azure water, and the endless stretches of white sand beaches. When we arrived at The Aston Kauai Beach Resort we were personally greeted with leis and delicious cocktails and then escorted to our romantic ocean view room. Not only did we have an ocean view room but the room was unbelievable, decorated in distinct Polynesian designs with touches of dark tropical wood tones in furniture and shuttered doors that open to a private balcony perfect for enjoying a romantic sunset.

Everything during our stay at The Aston Kauai Beach Resort was perfect.The resort is centrally located amid a coconut on 10 oceanfront acres. Kauai may move a at a slower pace but we were never bored, whether catching some rays by the pool or on the beach, exploring the breathtaking scenery, enjoying a round of golf, or stars gazing. As adventure lovers we loved exploring the island. We escaped reality hidden in the romantic Fern Grotto, a cave cloaked in mist and tropical ferns. We took a helicopter ride over the stunning Napali Coast, a dramatic 15-mile stretch where sheer cliffs meet the ocean. Another day we took lunch to go and picnicked at the awe-inspiring Wailua Falls, an 80-foot waterfall. After a day of exploring the many treasures of Kauai there was nothing better than unwinding with a relaxing couples massage at the resorts day spa and a romantic dinner.

There was no shortage of delicious food, from the resorts open air restaurant, The Voyager Grille Restaurant, to one of the many island bars and restaurants. No matter what your price point is we always found a delectable bite to tingle our senses.


We couldn't have picked a more romantic destination. Kauai is a breathtaking escape that will not disappoint. The Aston Kauai Beach Resort definitely lives up to the surrounding beauty of the island. It is more than a resort, but a destination that unites the warmth and hospitality of Hawaii with its rich oceangoing history, ancestry and legends.
