We came across this hotel as we were in search for th perfect place to stay. An original 50s hotel with lots of character. The hotel is very well managed with friendly service.
It offers a complete break from the outside world with no TVs,...More
We had originally booked another hotel away from the ocean for twice the price before Hurricane Lane delayed our trip. Imagine how thrilled we were to find Kona Tiki -- a great value and on the ocean! But we were even more thrilled once we...More
This is a clean 1950s style hotel right on the ocean. All rooms face the ocean. Where will you get that for this price? There are new caretakers who are taking on a maintenance backlog so don't expect anything fancy..The breakfast is good.
This is a really nice hotel in a fantastic location with great views over the ocean. Rooms are clean and comfortable and the management team are really friendly and helpful.There is a nice simple breakfast on the patio every morning and there are also many...More

Thank you for your rating and review, Alan! It was a pleasure having you both here -- we think it is our guests (like you) that make the Kona Tiki a first class experience :) We hope you enjoyed the rest of your time on...More
The hotel is right on the ocean and super clean and unique. The pool is so close to the ocean it gets splashed by the seawater from time and it’s awesome. We were here during hurricane lane and the hotel managers were beyond helpful and...More

Thanks for becoming part of the Kona Tiki ohana! So thankful nothing happened with the hurricane other than it producing good waves to watch, and thankful for your good spirits and flexibility concerning our just-in-case preparations. We're happy you enjoyed the lanai and pool ......More

There were toys and gear people had left. I don't recall any boogie boards though. There is a Walmart a short trip away. We did not use the wifi but heard it was best near the office.

The hotel is located 20 feet from ocean which is separated from the property by a Lava Rock Seawall. The view is beautiful. Our swimming pool and lounge area are right by the water (rock wall separates) However, there is no beach. There is an entrance to the ocean at the end of the property, which is very swimmable when the surf isn't up, but it is over rounded, rocky Pebbles. Fine for adventures types. But must be sure footed.Locals use it all the time. There is a small beach 1.5 miles on Alii Drivel ( White Sands or Disappearing Sands). The true beaches are a 25 minute (Kua Bay) and 40 minute drive respective ( Hapuna Beach). Beautiful White Sandy Beaches. There are black sand beaches 45 minutes to 1hour south on the west coast and south point areas. The Big Island is the "newest" in the island chain and while the beaches are beautiful, we have fewer than the other islands. We do have the most beautiful diving and snorkeling in Hawaii.
