We love this little hotel. The staff is awesome and you are right on the beach. Try the in-house cafe for breakfast! If you want a quiet stay at a place that makes you feel at home. Try the Hotel coral Reef!

Property was clean and service was great Bikes were an added plus for staying there we got to ride up and down the trail along the ocean! For being an ocean front property you really can’t beat the price! Sure it’s older but it was the most comfortable bed I’ve slept in for a while! Thankyou for sharing your island with us! It was a beautiful stay! And nice comfortable environment

Some of the staff were less than friendly with athe rare occasion. Someone pleasant would be ok shift. It's a lot experience as much aloha, as one would hope for. Overall, great location appreciated the complimentary bike, though.They do need maintenance. Close and easy access to the beach and food trucks. As well as cooking location for shopping

Perfect hotel for Kalalau hikers

This hotel is perfect they stored our bags while we hiked the Kalalau trail, also they have lots of propane from previous hikers, call them to ask to hold one for you in you don't have time to shop before your trip.

Loved the view from the patio. Disappointed that our twin queens room didn't have the in room jacuzzi ,which was a major reason for us choosing this property. The first 3 days staying there 2 rooms south of us there was local traffic in and out and dope smoking wafting our way. The same situation the last 3 nights from 1 room north. These were all beach level, I would not have liked my kids staying in that environment.

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.
