this is what happens when you give a place a good review i've been staying here over the years and have always loved it because it was small, local, inexpensive - a find. but having just gone there to see it again a few days ago, i was sorely disappointed that the prices have gone high, the name has changed...

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.

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.

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

Lately we move a little closer to the airport for the last night and for the last few years that means a night at the coral beach. this is a small hotel/motel sort of thing and doesnt have all the bells and whistle...

The hotel is clean, right in town, and has an awesome small beauty shop for nails, massage (Bonnie), and facials.

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
