Ocean was visible from our veranda. View was great. No AC, but the morning and evening breezes were great. Room is compact, but well planned.... you want to get out most of the day anyways (you're in Hawaii), and just crash at night.

It was perfect little room right on the ocean. Only complaint was there was no TV, but it wasn't necessary. It just perfect for a night in Kona and to be near everything. Pool is right on the ocean and you can listen to the ocean all night long. Gorgeous view. Just the getaway I was looking for.

Terrific stay. Staff was very helpful and responsive. Kitchen adequate for breakfast/lunch. Beautiful view, comfy bed, roar of the ocean, 1 mile walk to town for dinner. Couldn’t ask for more. Back in to the parking spaces, pull all the way in abd stay within the lines to make it easier for everyone!

Perfect hotel! The ocean view is gorgeous. We left our lanai doors open all night to sleep with the sound of the ocean waves. Woke up to huge surf! The room was clean and comfortable. The manager Kai is a kind and happy host. I would highly recommend Kona Tiki.

The room was really cutely decorated to tastefully fit the tik theme, but light and bright with the focus on the water. The woods blendeds together all the tones of the outside coming in. You literally sleep with the sounds of water roaring out your window. The new manager was very kind and hospitable.
