Nope they don’t provide any assistance with moving. You can have use of the hospitality suite as check out I think is 11 and check in isn’t until 3. You might be lucky and your unit is ready but you will still have to move everything yourself.

We also checked into the Pono Kai on Jan. 17th. Our first night was an add-on for $185/night incl all taxes. The only unit available was what they call a mini-suite. It was actually a small one bedroom with full appliances in a smaller version. Limited kitchen counter space but it was better than we had expected. The unit was fully renovated and was in the K building (K107), right next to housekeeping. It was very noisy with loud staff congregating at 7 a.m. so I wouldn’t recommend this unit for that reason but I’m not an early riser.

On the 18th we moved to a 2 bedroom that was a last-minute rental through HTSE. We were assigned to a renovated ocean front unit in Building B on the top floor. We didn’t request anything so I have no idea how they assign their units but we are very happy with our unit and the resort in general.
