While this hotel is on the older side and needs some updates, the location and staff make it a great place to stay. I love that I was able to borrow a bike and ride up and down the beach path. Beautiful!
Great place to stay near the airport. Loved the walking path next to the property.

We loved the family vibe and old charm and especially the ocean view, the wild chickens and the cat that chased them BUT the bed in our ground floor King Ocean View room was terrible. One side sloped down terribly and was very uncomfortable. Replace the mattress, and remodel the bathroom (tub has badly patched holes, perhaps from former jacuzzi, and toilet is so low that it was low for me at 5’ 2” and crazy for my husband at 6’ 4”. Year out the tub and retile just as a shower, replace shower fixtures and put in a new comfort height toilet and it will be 5 star rating. Staff recommendations for restaurants and the fresh banana bread were awesome.
Super friendly, helpful staff, immediate positive response to any issue. The property itself and our room was wonderful. It was perfect for us.
The downside was nightly noise from roadwork going on all night during weekdays. Some room renovations going on below us was on the noisy side as well.
However, we would gladly come back and stay again. We also really enjoyed being in the historic town of Kapaa and all it had to offer. The Coral Reef was a great home base when we ventured to all the other areas in Kauai we visited.
Thank you so much to everyone there for all the kindness you showed us during our 8 day stay.❤️
Simple basic hotel no fuss access to the hotel is through a code given to you so no need to deal with check in. Loved our stay because of how simple it was to just go to ur room and be unbothered by anyone.

Much needed getaway!!
The hotel is in a great location, needs a little updating. Our ocean view room was wonderful!! Just what we needed & wanted. We were only there for one night but would come again! The staff were wonderful!!
Room was clean and the bed really comfy. I got to borrow a bike to ride up the coastal trail. The staff helped book my taxi to the airport. Wonderful and friendly place. Highly recommend to stay here.
Such a fun little spot!! Right on the beach so we got to watch the sunrise every morning, it was so beautiful! Loved the pool, there was never anyone using it so we got it all to ourselves every time we went. Service was great and check in was super easy. Would definitely stay here again!
OLDER BUT WELL MAINTANIED. GREAT HOTEL. OCEAN VIEW ROOMS HAVE SPECTACULAR VIEW.
WALKING TRAIL GOES IN FRONT OF HOTEL ALONG THE BEACH FOR MILES. STAFF VERY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL.
Front desk lady were very nice and helpful.
I got a nice ocean front room. It was a bit old but clean.
Nice surroundings and very close to a lot of stores, bicycle trail, restaurants and food trucks.
Complementary bicycles and free parking were nice.
I felt like i got more free ammenities (towels, bicycle and parking) and better service than the Hilton Garden Inn we stayed after.
