The location is right on the beach. Very pretty view. We just fell in love with the staff. George and Rhonda make you feel like family. Every morning we had a nice lite breakfast with great coffee. The rooms are very beautiful with nice furnishings. Can't wait to return to the Coral Reef Hotel. More

Wake up watching the sun rise over the ocean. This Hotel is not to be missed. Good lite breakfast served every morning. Close to everything anyone would need. Parking is sometimes tight but somethings got to be wrong in paradise. More

Trip Advisor ratings were right again. The hotel is right on the beach in Kapaa. The location is great for seeing the entire island as it is about in the middle when considering the main highway. We enjoyed the small hotel feeling and friendly managers, even though we probably annoyed them with all of our needs. We spent an entire... More

On my last night in Kauai, I had not booked any accommodation, after exploring the north side of the island and driving back towards Lihue I saw the Coral Reef Hotel, I pulled in and within 10mins I had a room, the price is good and the location in Kapaa was great as I spent the afternoon walking and exploring...

It's not easy to find affordable accommodations right on the beach but Coral Reef has it all. Choose a room facing the beach and you're in heaven. Great breakfast included. Bikes only $5. A day. You can ride or walk the long path all along the ocean. Perfect location on main street in Kapaa so u can walk and shop... More

I'm a little slow writing this, but I thought of it because I am planning my next visit. I have stayed in this hotel the last three years. It is right on the beach. The property is well-cared-for and very comfortable. We love to stay in the oceanfront rooms and enjoy the fresh breeze. The staff makes it feel like... More

The bed was very comfortable, the view beautiful, and the sound of the surf hypnotic.The bathroom was big, beautiful and the water pressure in the shower heaven.However the best feature was the intelligent, friendly young man behind the desk. Joseph gave us excellent advise and information the made our vacation more spectacular. Thank you Joseph! More
