Aston At Papakea Resort

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 28 Jun 2010 rated 9 out of 10.

This is a very affordable hotel, and it is very clean and family friendly. The staff is great and the facilities are very nice. I loved everything about it, except that we were a younger group and were looking for entertainment at night. It's certainly a family resort, since quiet hours start at 10 p.m.

Positives: Affordable, very clean, and nice location.

Negatives: Very quiet, at 10 p.m. it basically closes down, no dining on property.

Beware of this resort. We were given a room with someone not checked out. Given another room over a golf course and noisy pool. They were putting on a new roof on the next building hammering and pounding and unbelievable noise from 6:30 to 5:00 p.m. Very noisy!

Positives: Clean.

Negatives: Noisy and mismanaged.

Hotel was conveniently located near shopping and restaurants. No on site restaurant. Room was spacious with comfortable bed. Full kitchen. Although on the beach, beach was rocky and hotel grounds were separated by seawall. Beautiful grounds, good pool, very quiet.

Positives: The room had an excellent, comfortable bed.

Negatives: Bathroom was small and outdated.

This resort, though not as upscale as those around it, was comfortable, clean and the staff was great. I would definitely stay here again. My highlight was seeing whale¿s not too far off shore on my last morning there.

Positives: The location right on the beach was fabulous!

Negatives: Nothing.

Great value for the price. A one hour beach walks from the very expensive Hyatt hotel where the conference was. I am sure we got the oldest unit. Still a great value with a kitchen. We saved hundred just cooking for ourselves.

Positives: Right on Kannapolis beach.

Negatives: Uncomfortable bed.

The hotel staff made adjustments to accommodate my family. I expected to be facing the parking lot but was very surprised to be in a direct ocean front room. All the rooms are in very close proximity to the water and most all have some sort of ocean view. It is an older hotel/condo but who stays in their room all day anyway. The kids had a wonderful time. The staff was very friendly. It was a very good experience overall. A place I will always consider going back to.

Positives: Great location right on the water. Easy access in and out. Close to restaurants and lots of other beaches. Lots of common space to hang out.

Negatives: Older hotel with some signs of wear and dating but nothing that bothered me or inconvenienced my family.

Depending on property owner units can be very pleasant or depressing. When ordering 2 or more rooms may be spread out throughout several units.

Positives: (k301) the view from our room was wonderful. Staff was able to put our family in 1 building.

Negatives: Lower unit (k201) was not pleasant and in need of upgrading. No late checkouts.
