Such beautiful grounds, lovely working family that makes it such a great place. The ocean view was spectacular and affordable. The pool was clean, beautiful and private. We had an ocean view from the pool. Great walking path right outside and the food trucks were spectacular
I have stayed in multiple locations in Kauai and this place is my favorite for having the stunning view from our gigantic lanai, great small usable beach rite in front of hotel and the amazing convenience to anything you need you need
Great place🤙🤙🤙✌️✌️✌️
We stayed for two nights and would have loved to stay longer. The morning sunrises from the balcony were incredible. The staff was helpful and friendly. The room was clean and spacious for us. Being close to many of KaPaa's shops and restaurants was great amenity.
Nice oceanfront room, beautiful gardens & pool. The family running it was so nice, helpful, and sweet. Tutu even offered us banana bread. Will stay again!
Staff was amazing. Banana bread was tasty and moist. Beach is right in front of your room. You absolutely cannot do better if you come for the beach. Center of Kappa in town and 15 min away from the airport. Clean, serviceable and just down to earth. Mahalo
The hotel is close enough to the ocean to listen to the waves from your room. The room is clean enough for me, not spotless. There isn't much to do in Kapa'a so rent a car unless you like very long bike rides. The staff was very friendly, even sharing their sweets with me but I didnt enjoy the bible lesson at the end.. Overall nice hotel
Room needed a good cleaning, the mirror hadn't been properly cleaned and the lamps were sticky. TV didn't work, no one cared enough to come and fix it. On the other hand, the ocean was right outside for great views of sunrise and the walking path along the shore was right there.
Staff are wonderful and very welcoming. The ocean front room views can’t be beat! The rooms are dated and probably need a deep clean but with all the other plus’s available we will definitely be back next year
Room was clean. Place is cozy and literally 50 paces to a great coastline multiuse path. Grab a bicycle, spend some time on the path and you won't be sorry.

Great view and access to the beach. Centrally located on the island with easy access to niorth and south locations. Beach area is a little sketchy but the locals were very kind. Staff was friendly and helpful. The price was right!
We loved our stay at the Hotel Coral Reef. We had a perfect view of the ocean. The staff was so helpful. We borrowed bikes for a nice little ride. They shared tasty homemade food. The room was clean. It was just a great stay.
The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We liked the convenient parking and shops near by. The walking path along the ocean was perfect for running, walking or biking
Although the room was dated, and a few repairs are needed, the wonderful staff made all the difference. We received a very warm welcome. Our room was ready early, and there was even some fresh delicious banana bread for us.
