We stayed just a short time and had a great time! The managers, Jan and Mike, were so welcoming and made everyone feel at home. The location right on the beach is fantastic and it's a short walk to restaurants and shopping. We would definitely stay again. Super clean and very affordable.

We loved this place. Very laid back atmosphere. Perfect place to recharge after busy days of exploring or just lounge the day away at the pool. Very friendly helpful managers. Awesome waves to lull you to sleep and gorgeous sunsets.

Everything was going pretty well with our 3-day stay here. Good service, nice breakfast, beautiful ocean view.. Everything until a HUGE cockroach dropped into the shower from the ceiling while my wife was taking a shower! Fine, no biggie, I put a cup over it and called the office for someone to remove it. It's 10:30pm, no answer. I head... More

A basic hotel with good amenities, the Kona Tiki is the place to stay when the budget is tight - but you want somewhere clean and close to the water. Motel managers are friendly and the breakfast is delicious. The water is close by, in fact it often splashes over into the pool, but you obviously didn't come to Kona... More

First this is not a 5 star hotel; it more a 3 star hotel with more character and friendliness than any other hotel..... The rooms are basic, but offer a superior view of the ocean. If you want a room where you can not hear a thing, forget it. All night long you hear the ocean crashing against the rock... More

Although this accommodation has more the look of a motel than a B & B, the gracious hosts give it a B & B feel and the breakfast is certainly the equal of many B & B's: good coffee, juice, variety of ripe fruits, variety of bagels, whole grain bread, cream cheese, jam, butter, peanut butter - all you need...

The Kona Tiki is a real find for anyone who does not require high end digs or lots of space. It is a wonderful little family style operation in a spectacular location. Away from the bustle of Kailua Kona, it is still within walking distance if you fancy a bit of exercise. If not, it will take you about 5... More

Stayed here 4 times in 3 years. We meet great people and relax. The dolphin show most mornings at the communal breakfast is a great way to start the day. Some days we never leave the property and just hang at the pool and watch the waves.

I love this place and the location - walking distance to downtown Kona. The vibe is relaxed and the breakfast has delicious fresh fruit every morning. Each room has a gorgeous ocean view, but rooms are not sound-proofed so you can hear the waves crashing every night. And I do mean CRASHing - it is very loud and can cause... More
