WOW!! We spent 5 nights in this newly renovated gem on the ocean. The hotel is literally feet from the Pacific. The wall of our room facing the ocean was completely glass--we looked out at cocoanut and palm trees and blue waves. Our room was very clean and bright. The doors and windows to our balcony were covered by floor... more

the location of the hotel is great. Kapaa is central. You can visit the south shore of the island one day then the North Shore the next without too much driving. That's why we stayed at Hotel Coral Reef. It was a cheap room, especially for us kamaaina, and we knew we weren't going to spend much time in the... more

sept 2006 I had made a reservation but the front desk couldnt find it when I arrived. Room was available, so I stayed. When returning home to Europe I found that my credit card was charged for 1 night upon reservation in addition to the complete fare upon checkout. Management refuses refund and ignores my complaint. Amount is too small... more

Stayed one night at this hotel after our week at the condo was up. Did not have high expectations given the poor review in the Ultimate Kauai guide book. Boy were we suprised! The oceanfront rooms seems to have been recently redone, and everything in the room looks new. The view out the back is amazing! Actually just "steps from... more

WOW !!! What a facelift. Always loved the location and quaintness of this hotel but it was quite rundown. The new owner and management did a wonderful job in upgrading the rooms, the landscape and the staffing. For a pleasant vacation with the relaxing sound of the ocean waves right outside your room I highly recomment the NEW Hotel Corel... more

My husband and I stayed at this location in Kapaa because of its close proximity to both ends of the island - even a travel agent said we were staying in a good location. We're an active (adventure-racing/triathlon/marathon- type) professional couple who found the facility quite charming. The hotel staff was friendly (our rate was $90/night), exuded the aloha spirit,... more

Stayed here last month (2/05) for one night. It's one of the only coconut coast hotels. I just took the non-ocean view room for $89/night, and it was fine. The grounds are beautiful & directly on the sea. It had AC, something most top Kauai resorts don't even have, which mostly drowned out the street noise. I found the place... more

This hotel was terrible. The phone didn't work, the ceiling tiles were missing, bugs in the room, dirty carpet, moldy shower stall, refrigerator didn't work, and rude desk staff. The only good thing about it is the location on the beach. The carpet was filthy and the room smelling like mold. They said it was just remodeled?? We tried to... more

I have never been more disappointed with a hotel before! When my wife and I arrived, we were greeted to trash scattered all over the hotel grounds. They were doing some remodeling and threw all the trash and old carpet right out on the parking lot, hallways and even the lawn! The hotel must have gone through a rate hike... more
