Perfect location, needs updated
Amazing location, absolutely perfect..! Too bad it's let down by the condition of this property, this place is tired and needs to be refreshed. I understand that the vibe is intentionally "island casual" in keeping with the surrounding Kapa'a area, but there's relaxed and then there's old and worn out...

Great Sunrise View
Our flight was delayed and our daughter was meeting us there so I had to switch my reservation and also I had earlier added an extra night. I thought these two changes might lead to a difficult situation. But nope. Every thing was handled perfectly! I was ver impressed with the office staff - friendly, helpful and relaxed. Our room was on the bottom floor and opened up on to a beautiful lawn that was then bordered by a pedal path and then a gorgeous beach. The sunrise views were amazing!! One day we used the complimentary bikes and road as far as possible along the path. As for the room, it was basic but in reality, we were barely there. Every day we were up to catch the sunrise then off to hike and visit beach’s all day. One night, I did jump in the pool at 7:45, and it was too cold for my liking. But did not affect our trip because, we’d rather swim in the ocean anyways. Easy to walk from the hotel to restaurants and stores too.

Good location, value, but needs upgraded
On the positive side, the location is great as far as proximity to the beach, a great walking path, and walkable food options are concerned. On the negative, rooms are definitely in need of upgrades, very dated and run down. Sink leaked, toilet didn’t flush without plunging on occasion, bathroom mirror needed replacement. Traffic in front of hotel and in this area can be really congested either direction depending on the time of day. Mattress was not comfortable. Overall it was good value for the money, but a little upgrade would really make this a repeat location.

Great view, convenient location.
We booked a single night at this hotel to use the amenities and have a room to shower and change in before our red eye flight home. It fulfilled the role perfectly for us! The staff was super friendly, the room clean and the ocean view spectacular! We sat by the pool to soak up some sun...chairs were a bit worn out, but served their purpose. Location was great...there is road noise on the property, but there were several shops and restaurants within walking distance. Less than 20 minutes from the airport so easy to head out when we were done. The room/hotel in general was a bit dated, but as I said, it was what we needed for the day. Lots of DVDs, games, amenities, etc. Surf was too rough to swim in when we were there in the end of December. There is an elevator to reach the upper floors.

2/10 Poor

Bad experience
We stayed one night on Christmas Day at hotel Coral Reef. Check in was easy and quick. The front desk staff was very friendly and allowed us early check in. The condition of the room did not meet our expectation as we paid almost $300 and noted AC has no cover lid at the bottom. You could see the dirt and dust inside. The sprinkler copper pipe not just the head is visible on the wall. Right before taking a shower, my wife spotted a cockroach on the floor. I managed to kill it. Unfortunately it was too late( after 10 pm) to request change a room or cancel the stay. My kids were feeling too scared to go to bed. We bagged everything in plastic bag and stay up as late as possible. When I spoke to the manager at checkout she seems to be not surprised at all. “ it is raining season and they come out often. We did spray lately…”. She did offer apology but I am not sure how genuine she is. Definitely not coming back.

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!

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.

Good little spot
Our room was clean. Other parts of property weren’t clean like elevator floor— lots of food crumbs all over but minor over all. Didn’t use elevator much as stairs were faster. And while the room was clean and bed pretty comfortable, some of the room appeared to be needing some attention ( trim paint & some wall cleaning needed around light switches and door handles- but minor overall) We were pleasantly surprised with an 3rd floor ocean view upgrade - previously assigned a parking lot view. We were very appreciative of this and the early check in. The lady who worked in the office was great and super accommodating. For a reasonable short-term stay, I would recommend this place and would stay again Bike/walking path right in front was a great addition too. Property provides loaner bikes and other things

Beautiful Location but Still Overpriced
The property was in a wonderful location right by the beach. The staff was nice but the property older, a little run down, and overpriced. I was looking forward to the free bicycle use but they were in pretty bad shape.

The people running the property were wonderful and very friendly. Hotel has beach towels, and chairs to borrow. And bikes you can use. They had home made banana bread in the lobby almost every day. View from the room was amazing. Room was pretty quiet. The rosters that were everywhere on the island are kind of loud starting around 5am, not the hotels fault it's a Hawaii thing, they can be kind of a nuisance.

4/10 Fair

Great location. AC died & no support. Unfortunate!
Overall the property was in a great location and a nice room. My issue is that my AC stopped working mid through the first night. I woke up with this issue in a steaming hot room. I called the front desk before heading out for the day and they said they would send someone right away. I returned to the room that evening around 11pm and couldn’t get ahold of anyone on the phone and had to sleep a second night with no AC but was at least able to open the door before going to sleep. The next morning I have to leave for the airport at 6am and there wasn’t anyone to talk to about the issue and I never heard a word from anyone.
