Very honest review: this is one of the most affordable stays in Oceanside Kona. Our hotel attendant, Harrison, went out of his way to make our stay comfortable and convenient. 5 stars for staff and service! The room was quaint but had necessary utilities including a spacious shower a king size bed coffee maker toaster dishes and a fan. Not having a/c was the biggest drawback, but was not a dealbreaker. The room definitely had some minimal wear as well, but still felt like home. Being a guest includes access to snorkeling gear, boogie boards, a great pool and outdoor shower, ice machine and more. The snorkeling a few steps away from your lanai is absolutely amazing, though it can be sketchy getting in If you are a traveller looking for a quiet little hidden gem at a bargain (for Kona) this is for you!

Perfect Big Island retreat!

Charming hotel & room! No TV or AC, but with the fans with the lanai door open the ocean breeze was amazing. Didn't need a TV, it dIdn't fit the vibe of the Big Island for me. Instead, we fell asleep to the sound of the ocean waves, not a TV. Bed was super comfortable! I would definitely come back here for another stay! View from the lanai was amazing as well (watched the sunset).

Gorgeous ocean EXPERIENCE! All the rooms have a lovely sheltered lanai. Our room was on the 3rd floor and we never closed the door once. Loved the breeze and the ocean waves crashing on the sea wall below. Parking is TIGHT as stated. so do get a small rental car. Ali'i Drive is very busy so the car and motorcycle sounds were a (slight) downside. Fortunately the 24/7 ocean waves more than made up for it. We loved that it was a small property, not a big high-rise, and adults only. Our room was clean and comfortable and the whole property is well-maintained. Rooms have a kitchenette which is helpful as every visitor to Hawaii knows, meals are expensive. We fixed breakfast in our room every day (coffee maker, microwave and toaster; no stove) and a few lunches as well. Fridge was good size; no freezer though. Beachcombers should know that the closest beach is a brisk 5 minute walk away. Overall, would definitely recommend!

Really enjoyed my time at the Kona Tiki Hotel. Convenient to many shops and restaurants, I often opted to walk rather than deal with parking. Staff was very kind and helpful. Great pool, especially considering the size of the property. Beautiful views and sounds of the ocean.

15 room hotel was right on waterfront with a view from each room. Left the balcony doors open with only the screen doors and fell asleep to the sound of the crashing waves. Convenient location. Walk to restaurants and town. Updated room with wifi. No TV or air conditioning if that's important to you. We didn't need either.

I wasn't sure what to expect, but I shouldn't have been worried at all. Super cute boutique hotel with EXCELLENT amenities/landscaping. My room was decorated with vintage Tiki prints and linens. Everything was sparkling clean with attention to travelers needs - local insights, pool towels, beach equipment, ice for coolers and more. Harris gave me a quick tour of the property and as a solo, older woman traveler, I felt at home. The pool was so refreshing. Parking was tight, but not an issue. The property/mt room was on the waterfront with seawall views of the sunset. Waves crashing all night, the sound was magical. I will be back! Thank you Kona Tiki Hotel, I'm a fan.

Nostalgiv ocean front place

An older hotel close to the ocean, about a 20 minute walk to Kona. It is very close to the ocean so, indeed, the waves are crashing outside your window. We loved watching the kids surf and the crabs walking up and down the wall. We enjoyed sitting on the patio! No A/C so we had to have the windows open all the time. This also let in the street noise but often it was drowned out by the ocean. With our windows open and being on the ground floor (and without a safe in the room), we were worried about safety but nothing happened. Parking is an issue and while the owners asked people to rent small cars, people don't so the few spots there are even more crowded with jeeps and minivans. Street parking is available but it means crossing a street/highway that is often very busy. Others reported excellent wifi but we did not find that the case and it wasn't strong enough to support one device. We did report this to the owners so hopefully they can resolve it. All in all, a comfortable ocean front place which brings back nostalgic memories.

Great location, staff was very nice, it was very low key. If you are looking for luxurious, this is not for you but if you want a nice, simple room with a great view and an ocean breeze, this is your place. The sunsets were beautiful, even saw dolphins while having my coffee in the morning. No AC or TV and the parking lot is small but they tell you all that when you read about the hotel amenities so it shouldn’t be a surprise. We enjoyed the walk to the restaurants and shopping, it’s about a mile and half walking to and from downtown area. The waves are very loud this time of year and woke me up a few times crashing in . I’ll bet it’s perfect in the spring or summer. Overall, really enjoyed the hotel and would stay again mostly because it’s peaceful (no little kids) and the views are fabulous and I like the vibes in general.

3 star hotel good location but some cons

This tiny hotel is in a good location right on the ocean and about a 15 to 20 minute walk into town. It has a very tiny parking lot. There is no air conditioning so you hear the sound of the breaking waves at all times the bathroom is tiny and for us was a major problem because we could barely get any hot water And the water pressure was really bad. The pool is OK and we did use it every day for a quick swim, so there are pros but some cons as well.
