5. To add to the insult of the horrible accommodation, the Pono Kai makes you pay for the in-room safe and wi fi, how cheap can they get? The tiny swimming pool and small hot tub serves all 11 buildings in the resort so plan to spend your days elsewhere.

6. horrible internet connectivity (no wi-fi except by pool or lobby) -- you have to pay a daily or weekly fee for connectivity and it is deplorable.
