Perfect getaway location

It was directly on to the beach with a beautiful pool as well, I had a patio leading out on to the beach front. They have all these extras for free, like borrowing a bike and local coffee to use with your coffeemaker in the room. Can easily walk to the town to get food, drinks or coffee. Absolutely beautiful.

Would stay again!

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.

The view from the hotel patio was extraordinary. The hotel it self was not so great. Roaches in the room, had to be very careful not to leave luggage on the floor, hoping to keep the roaches out of our luggage. The beds were old and worn out. The rooms overall were dated and in need of repair. I was told you have to request house keeping, so I did. They never came. The pool was nice.

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.
