Loved our stay at Hotel Coral Reef. It was perfectly situated between food trucks and restaurants giving us plenty of options. We had a gorgeous view from our balcony. It was also just a short drive to Hanalei Bay and other places on the north or to Eleele in the south for our rafting excursion. We were able to rent kayaks in Kapa'a for a self guided Wailua River trip to the trail for the secret waterful. My daughter jogged on the paved oceanside trail each day and took out a bike to ride a couple times as well. The staff was extremely welcoming and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

Cockroaches in the room, bed was like sleeping on the floor. Did have an awesome view of the ocean, with limited beach area. Is at the edge of where homeless hang out but they did not bother folks. Walking distance within a great breakfast place called Kountry Kitchen and don't miss out getting BBQ at Paniola Santa Maria, hopefully live music happening!

Cute water view

Very quaint place. Nice amenities and staff. Not the most updated, but still very quaint. Access to coin laundry on site was super helpful. Located right on the water with easy walk to town and restaurants. The view of the water from the room is beautiful. Would highly recommend.

Very much appreciate the free upgrade to an ocean view! Staff was super kind and accommodating. Unfortunately there were multiple water intrusion issues in the room. For a couple nights with a free ocean view, it didn't really bother me.
