We enjoyed our briefly stay at the Coral Reef Hotel. The room was dated and 80’s vibe but when we pulled back the curtain and stepped out on our lanai on the ground floor we knew that Kauai’s ocean, reef and beauty would be ours for 2 beautiful days. At last minute we had to extend our stay and the staff was very accommodating and did not make us change room locations. Aloha spirit

Nice place! Would've used the coffee machine but it wasn't the most clean, and the fridge had a smell so we didn't end up using that either, other than that, it's a nice place to stay. Great views!

Best stay we had on any of the islands. Staff is outstanding, and the location is first rate. Walking distance to shops and restaurants and the views are incredible. Beach toys and bikes to use along with tasty banana bread. Would definitely stay here again.

Booked it on a whim as i needed a place to stay for an evening very last minute. Woman at checkin was so upbeat and nice. Facility was older but extremely clean and well maintained which i honestly prefer to the marble walled resorts. Located on a super pretty beach, plenty pf amenities/food within walking distance.
