Jackpot! The Hotel Coral Reef was everything we could have hoped for and much, much more. After much research we decided that Kauai would be the ideal island for us to visit and that the Kapaa area would be the most centrally located area to base our daily activities. We discovered Hotel Coral Reef through Trip Adviser and noted that... more

We stayed at the Hotel Coral Reef for 5 days in September. The hotel is beautiful and clean with great views. This is one of the better deals on the island and it is centrally located. Alex "three legs" the cat will be your special friend while you are there. He pays no attention to the Roosters! We really enjoyed... more

From the street, it looks like a "no tell motel" which it may have been in the day, but this place has had a significant remodel in the last few years. All the furniture was top notch as were the rooms in general - super comfortable and well apportioned. They really did a wonderful job. The views are to die... more

Spent 6 nights late July. It's a small place so if you are looking for valet's and bell hops facials or massages this is not the place. If what you want is a clean upscale room within walkking distance to restaurants this is the place. Our King Ocean front room was just as it looked in the pictures on their... more

Don't bother with other reviews older than 2009. The renovations to this boutique hotel on the beach in Kapaa make it a truly enjoyable experience. Rooms are beautifully furnished, the marble bathroom with Jacuzzi tub....wonderful. I can't say enough about the couple who manage this property. They were delightful during the booking process and even more charming and accommodating in... more

We really enjoyed this place. The people were very friendly on the phone as well as in person. They offered suggestions of things to do and where to eat and I'm grateful we took their advice. We stayed in an ocean view room and I will say, if you stay there, pay the upgrade to stay ocean side. I was... more

We found this hotel after driving around the area for the day, going to various hotels and inquiring about price etc. We were booked into a place near Poipu that was terrible so we were desperate to find another hotel. We were pleasantly surprised by how nice the rooms were in the block of rooms that looks out onto the... more

We stayed at this hotel the night of our wedding Febuary 22nd. We got charged for the night staying there, and then we noticed we were also charged a "no show" charge 2 weeks later for the full price of a night at the hotel. I have called the hotel and I get the same rude, unhelpful, old man each... more

WOW!! We spent 5 nights in this newly renovated gem on the ocean. The hotel is literally feet from the Pacific. The wall of our room facing the ocean was completely glass--we looked out at cocoanut and palm trees and blue waves. Our room was very clean and bright. The doors and windows to our balcony were covered by floor... more

the location of the hotel is great. Kapaa is central. You can visit the south shore of the island one day then the North Shore the next without too much driving. That's why we stayed at Hotel Coral Reef. It was a cheap room, especially for us kamaaina, and we knew we weren't going to spend much time in the... more
