Comfortable and unpretentious
This classic small hotel was last renovated in 2006, and it’s still in good condition. It has a comfortable home-like feel without feeling rundown. It’s why I like Kaua’i, it feels more authentic, smaller and local. When I checked in they told me that my room had a plumbing issue and that it was unavailable. When they didn’t have a room to accommodate my daughter and me, they gave us 2 rooms next to each other at no extra cost. It was my daughter’s 15th birthday, so she was over the moon about that. They also have great beach chairs to borrow and some vintage bikes to ride the path on the beach. The location is great, the beach behind the building is small but nice and there are plenty of places within walking distance to eat and shop. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms well appointed and the walls even seemed well soundproofed.

Disappointed overall
Stains on the walls and carpet, holes in the walls, the toilet ran all night long, air conditioner malfunctions, baby roaches in the bathroom at night. There were some updates to the rooms but in general they don't seem to care much about esthetics. The only saving grace was that some of the employees were very kind and welcoming.

Sucks to say this!
I don’t really want to do this but someone needs to say something. I loved our room however the landscape on the way to the room was very crappy. There was a little dead bird laying near the entrance walkway and it stayed there our whole stay! No one came to pick him up or anything and he started to smell. The room was ok. I love d that we were footsteps to the beach. It was so nice we could use a cooler and borrow a bicycle. I loved that part! The bed was not comfortable I woke up with a sore back and I had to perform. I can tell this little place is as run down…but they need more work!

Needs interior updating.
From the Ocean looking at the resort and pool area you would think that it is very nice. The grounds are nice and the location on the water is a plus. The issue is that the rooms are very old and have issues. The carpets were very stained and wasnt great to walk around on. The beds arent in great shape and the overall feel inside was not good. The balcony had cigarette buds everywhere. The chairs were old and the railings rusted. The staff was friendly.

It was a cheaper last minute booking, the front desk clerk was very nice and the pool was great. The room was one of the dirtiest rooms I have ever been in and was in need of updates.

This hotel is on the beach! There's a paved pathway that goes for a mile and a half along the ocean and it's about 20 steps from the back of the hotel. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. Loved my stay here and for sure recommend this place......Mahalo Hotel Coral Reef!

My first night we were on parking lot side, didn’t like it but we came in late check in due to aircraft delays. Checked with stay and they moved us to Beach side. That room was great. It was large and had new furniture. The staff was great and friendly. If I come back I would definitely stay here again.
