My friend and I stayed here for 5 nights from 7th to 12th May and had a wonderful stay. OK the waves at night were loud but earplugs soon sorted that out and let's face it you are warned before you book. Have no complaints at all - everyone was pleasant and helpful - even feeding the birds before the... more

We usually get a third floor room with a small kitchenette. Nothing fancy but it's comfortable. Some folks may say it's dated or quaint, but it's all subjective. We love falling asleep to the sound of the surf - very relaxing. Quite user-friendly - they have beach gear that you can borrow. They serve an excellent breakfast (included in the... more

We stayed here a couple years ago and had been thinking about returning the moment we left. We tried to book 7 months in advance for a trip last year, and it was too late. Booked. Went to the Caribbean instead. This time we booked a year in advance. All the rooms are right on the ocean, and we sat... more

The number one thing I look for in a place to stay is the cleanliness. This place was spotless. It's kinda funky, but it's also $85.00 per night. The "hosts" were so knowledgeable about things to do on the island and even encouraged us to borrow one of their ice chests and beach mats for our daily outings. During the... more

Spent six nights in room 203 and would have happily stayed much longer. The Kona Tiki is about value and they do it very well. Our second floor kitchenette with a double and a single bed and mother nature's air conditioning was very comfortable. The view from our lanai was fantastic and the sound of the surf to put us... more

My wife and I stayed at the Kona Tiki for 2 nights at the beginning of our trip. We had a first floor room and our back door was less than 20 feet from the ocean. We left the windows open each night and enjoyed the sound of the waves and watching the waves in the morning as the sun... more

This was our second visit to Kona Tiki, and we were pleased to see that there had been some renovations to the rooms since our last visit several years ago. We're divers, and our initial visit in 1999 was the result of a recommendation from the dive operator. Now we do what we can get a room there when we're... more

We stayed at this hotel the first night on Big Island. We would have liked to stay for longer, but it was booked out. We had a tidy room with a small kitchen. The room looked out on the ocean. We could even see the fish swim in the water! The breakfast was really nice, a lot of it was... more

I booked this hotel after reading many of the negative feedback and yet, I had very high hopes. I was so excited about staying feet from the crashing waves. And that part was perfect, the waves were right there. Unfortunately, you couldn't see them through the window that was colored for privacy seeing as how we were on the first... more
