The hotel is a small oceanfront property. We had a second floor oceanfront view room. The property is older, but well maintained. The hotel is family operated, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Our unit had a king bed with a premium mattress. The Ke Ala Hele Makalae Path is right outside the property. The hotel has cruiser bikes available for free to guests. Parking is free, and there are no additional fees. The property is quiet, with a great oceanfront location. Restaurants are within easy walking distance. This was a great value compared to other Kapaa oceanfront properties.

Great oceanfront experience!
Coral Reef Hotel checked off all our boxes. Affordable, clean, comfortable, simple and perfect for our 7 night stay in Kauai. Banana bread was a nice addition from the office. We highly recommend. Mahalo!

This property is a hidden gem. Right on the water next to a walking/biking/running trail that goes on for several miles. The rooms are spacious. The staff is so friendly. We would definitely stay here again.

This was our first night on Kauai and I booked the Hotel Coral Reef based on price and proximity to the airport. It was so much more! Late check-in was smooth, big comfy bed, in the morning I found we had a balcony view of sunrise over the ocean, and the front desk called me after we'd checked out for a forgotten item. Wonderful!

I felt the property actually looked and felt very different from the photographs. It was very expensive for what it had to offer. Our room was old and not in great condition. I was glad to have only reserved it for one night. Our view was of some buildings and garbage dumpsters. We didn’t see the pool during our stay. We arrived late and had to phone a caretaker to check us in. We left fairly early in the morning

Family Owned Gem!
This sweet family owned gem in Kapa'a is a must stay. Ocean view room was clean, spacious and what a view! We decided to stay another day. This wasn't our first visit to Kauai and it won't be our last, but finally we found a nice place to stay that won't break the bank. Amenities were great, clean pool, close to shops and restaurants, short drive to Princeville, and Poipu. They also had beach chairs, towels and a cooler for us to take to the beach. Great location to stay on the east side, great service, we will be back here.

A Blast from the Past of Old Kauai
Hotel Coral Reef is an historic hotel in the heart of Kapaa. Old water features and beautiful grounds. Fun pool and right on the oceanfront. Lots of amenities to borrow for the beach or whatever. Room was a little dated, but comfy, huge bed. Had to figure out the wiring to get the fan working without the lights being on to sleep. Friendly staff, offered banana bread samples. Connected outdoor cafe great for breakfast. Also right on the ocean trail for walking, biking, etc. Ice machine, guest laundry, elevator. Would definitely stay here again.

All and all a good experience if you are on a budget, beautiful ocean view. Only disappointment was housekeeping. We were told we needed to request before noon. We were staying a week and I requested housekeeping on our 4th day. Came back from the beach at 3, still dirty. Called front desk and was interegated, "what did you request? Full service? Towells? What! Wow, I was like housekeeping. She said well they are cleaning owners apartment I will call them. An hour later a very overwhelmed gentleman came to our door to tell us he was the only housekeeper because the other housekeeper was cleaning owners apartment. He didnt have clean towels and had to come back with toilet paper. He said towels were drying and he would be back leave dirty towells on the floor in the doorway. We had supplies by 5pm, nothing else. Carpet really needed vacuuming and clean sheets would have been nice. Found very large cockroach on the 6th day. Most hotels, this is not a condo, insist on coming in to a room every 3 days, not them. Never heard a peep, no phone call or text to welcome us, ask how are stay was. So needless to say I never requested housekeeping again. Not sure why owners apartment was a bigger priority then a guest, literally would have taken 30 minutes to clean our room. Also, don't tell us. Just say you are short staffed today, let me get you supplies and come back tomorrow. Nope, never offered to come back. So as a result, I wont be back.
