Hotel Coral Reef
What Guests Say
We had a great stay at Coral Reef with a very warm welcoming with an homemade banana bread. The hotel is very well located in Kappa town, walking distance from all shops and restaurants. The beach view from our room was a delight, we had couple of happy hours and breakfasts from the room terrace to enjoy it.

What a fabulous low-key hotel. Our room with two queen beds and ocean view was huge. So clean. Balcony doors to lawn. Microwave and mini fridge. Ocean is much closer than the impression that I got from the photos. The very busy walkway that goes about four miles along the shore is right out front of the hotel. Bikes are available to borrow. Loved the gorgeous - but not heated - swimming pool with a waterfall and natural plants. What a lovely relaxed feel. Manager helped patch together a couple reservations I made into a smooth plan. Appreciated the somewhat more affordability that it accorded in comparison to the other outrageously priced hotels with their taxes and resort fees.

The location is excellent. The view out the sliding glass doors is a breathtaking view of the ocean. There is a wonderful walking/biking trail to explore up and down the area. You will find delicious food trucks, one of which serves the best Ahi Fish Tacos! The staff at Coral Reef is outstanding. They strive to help you with whatever need you have. We loved being able to use the hotel's beach towels and hair dryer and laundry services. Parking was not plentiful, but it was adequate and free and right by our unit.

The front desk workers were so friendly and helpful. This hotel is a little gem in a very pricey resort town. They keep fresh banana bread in the lobby every day, homemade for the guests. Made it feel like we were staying with family. There’s a trail running behind the property to stroll along the coastline, beaches up and down the road, and restaurants everywhere. Just make sure to check out prices before you go some places, and take note of opening/closing times! The view from the ocean-front rooms are beautiful!! The rooms are also super cute too. With a few really small issues (bathroom lights flickering), the staff was quick to make note of it to repair. We were only there a night, but it was wonderful.

Hotel Coral Reef exceeded my expectations. I went for my birthday/Valentines Day and it was the perfect getaway for me and my partner. They provided free bike rentals, chairs for the beach, and beach towels, all of which made enjoying the island that much easier. The staff was extremely kind and hospitable, even providing home-made banana bread in the mornings (which was phenomenal!) I would definitely stay here again the next time I visit Kauai.

The location of this hotel is fabulous. It is right on a beautiful beach. The grounds are gorgeous and it has a sweet little swimming pool. We walked along the bike trail to many of the stores and restaurants in the town. The staff was extra friendly and helpful. They were able to upgrade my room and give early check-in. They have tons of videos to borrow. We totally enjoyed the vibe of this place.

We were upgraded to an ocean view room that had a terrace with 2 chairs and a small table. Ate one takeout supper there, and also had a fine view of the sun rising over the ocean between tall palms - nothing between the hotel lawn and the shoreline but a public walking/jogging path. Interesting heritage cabinet furniture pieces (big flatscreen tv inside the tall one) in the room. Used the minifridge and microwave frequently for snacks and leftovers. There was an outdoor pool with a decorative waterfall that was enjoyed by other families, but we were too busy to use it. I think the office lent out pool toys and beach chairs, but again we didn't use them. Very happy with the value - we paid much more for much less elsewhere in the islands.

The staff at check in was very welcoming and kind. The place had an old school feel too it and thats what made it super unique. You could rent DVD's from the office, they pretty much had anything you needed for your stay as well as sunscreen for the pool, bikes to ride around and so many other accommodations. The bed and bedding was so comfortable, probably one of the best sleeps I had in awhile. We had the ocean view king bed room, so waking up to the sound of the ocean and sunrise was beautiful. Would highly recommend.

Building located on a gorgeous part of Kauai. Apx 8-9 miles from Lihue airport. Easy access by car or Uber. (Uber cost us $23.94 including tip). We stayed in a ground floor suit. Receptionists went above and beyond to let us feel comfortable. Room has everything you need for a comfortable stay: bed, bathroom and a terrace/balcony. Hotel provides beach chairs and towels along with other beach items. There is a BBQ to use on their terrace. There are free usage of sun cream if you forgot or water/food for pets, ice machine Coffee & tea in reception and in your room. The room also has microwave, small fridge, ice bucket, glasses inside tap with basin, TV, an armchair, floor lamp and some coffee table. On the terrace we had 2 chairs to enjoy sunrise which was incredible beautiful. There is free parking in their inside yard. Great-great place to stay, I couldn’t recommend it more!

Excellent value, nicely updated, large room and bathroom. We overlooked the water and the walking path, which was a nice bonus. Didn't try the small pool, but it looked inviting. Only hitch was the internet was off and on (we were there for four nights and had a big storm one night) and the TV system didn't work consistently. Management did send someone to fix it after a couple of phone calls. Very peaceful and quiet family-oriented place, with several decent restaurants and stores nearby.
