This hotel is such a gem. We loved having coffee on the lanai each morning with the ocean crashing on the sea wall below. Just beautiful. It was quiet at night and we were able to walk into town for dinner/shopping. It’s a great base for the west side of the island—we stayed for a week and did so much but always enjoyed returning to the hotel for a dip in the wonderfully refreshing salt water pool or just to relax on the lanai. Highly recommend!

Lovely stay

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.

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.

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!

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.

We had the best time staying at Kona Tiki Hotel! We loved hearing the waves crash in at night and the slow-down island vibe of the hotel. Staff was super friendly, room was clean and had everything we needed, took advantage of the beach equipment and book shelf and enjoyed our time on the balcony overlooking the ocean. Awesome place to stay to truly relax on vacation!
