What a gem in Kona! My wife and I were evaluating our options between a large hotel or the Kona Tikki and we decided to stay at the Tikki. You get a great ocean front view that’s unbeatable and great value for money compared to larger hotels and what they charge for an “ocean view”. There are no TV’s or Air Conditioning but it was just fine. There’s plenty of ocean breeze to keep you cool and the lack of tv is nice, it allows you to focus on the trip, your spouse/travel partner. The staff was friendly, welcoming and helpful with anything we needed. They are very diligent about maintaining the property at the highest level. We will be staying here again and you should too!

Location perfect for sunsets.

This little gem was a great place for us to relax. Our room was steps away from the ocean . We could hear the waves crashing against the rocks and feel the ocean breeze. Not a big or fancy place. There is no ac or tv in rooms, but we didn't need it. We watched the beautiful sunset from the pool area. Needs a bit of updating. There was some bubbled and peeling paint in the bathroom. Our stay was only one night in this small quaint place, but we enjoyed our time there.

My stay at Kona Tiki Hotel was peaceful and refreshing. The seamless self-check-in process with door access codes made arrival effortless, and checkout was equally convenient. The saltwater pool is a true highlight, operating from 7am to 9pm daily. Nothing beats starting your morning with a refreshing swim before the day heats up, and ending it with an evening dip while watching the sunset. The hotel's prime oceanfront location offers breathtaking sunset views that create the perfect backdrop for evening relaxation. One of the most captivating features is watching the powerful waves crash against and surge over the sea wall – it's both spectacular and hypnotically beautiful. You could easily spend hours just watching this natural display. The location couldn't be better positioned. Public transportation is accessible with a nearby bus stop (just be sure to check the current schedule), and the hotel sits right on Ali'i Drive, putting you 5-10 minute driving distance of numerous restaurants, eateries, and additional beaches to explore. The Keauhou shopping center is worth a visit. What truly sets this place apart is the peaceful atmosphere. Despite being centrally located, the hotel maintains a quiet, calm environment that allows you to truly unwind and soak in the natural beauty of the Kona coast. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a tranquil oceanfront experience.
Room has fans and outdoor porch with table chairs to sit and enjoy the beautiful waves and view
Cutlery, mugs, cups are in the cabinet and drawers along with electric water kettle. A good size fridge and microwave and coffee maker (bring your own coffee).
Waves splashing onto the property is amazing
On the back end of the property, I walked down sea wall steps during low tide to experience some cool waves and look at some cute 🦀 crabs.

LAST NIGHT PARADISE

Last night on the big island warranted a stay at this special little spot! Sleep to the sound of waves crashing outside your window....swim in the salt water pool as the waves crash on the wall and the sun sets behind the golden yellow and crimson sky line....wake up to the beauty of Kona!! Flight morning.....easy 20 minute uber ride (22$) to the airport for fast check in about 90 min before flight. GREATSPOT!!

Will not be back

The first few days were ok. The place was situated by the sounds of the ocean but very cramped and small. No room in restroom for any items on sink. When we retired for the day the room smelled. Bad but better when opened sliding door. Turned in towels to receive new ones but this never happened. We were left with no towels and no one to talk to. That night we had a gigantic roach in our shower area! My husband killed it! When we asked for some compensation we were left with silence! Definitely no Aloha at this place! So sad because this place had a great location!

We booked without realizing there was no air-conditioning. Thats on us. It did get muggy inside but with fans at night it was doable. We killed 3 roaches and there were a lot of gnat type insects. I think they are common in the island. Pool and view is incredible. Rooms were clean and very nice. Landscaping, pool, grounds all very nice. Price was great. Next time would opt for something with AC and no roaches.

If you are on the fence about this hotel…..do it!! Staff is extremely kind and helpful. You can lay on the bed and watch the surfers riding the waves and watch so many crabs just hanging out. The sunsets are breathtaking from the pool. Open up the windows and listen to the waves all night long. Just wow!! Yes, there is no tv or ac…..but who cares when you can feel the ocean breeze all night long. Definitely recommend having a smaller vehicle as the parking lot is small but it is FREE.
