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!

On the bottom floor people walk by your veranda within 6 feet at night you need to secure and close all windows and blinds or they can walk right in. No circulation at night except a stand up fan and all windows and doors sealed for safety Ice machine only. No water soda or snack machines told to drink tap water no continental breakfast as advertised. Clean room but only if you plan to sleep there offers nothing if you want to relax by the pool for the day No local hints to get around or make your stay more convenient just rules and travel book for the island

Hidden gem! A quick walk (less than a mile) into Kona to experience fun restaurants and shops. The salt water pool was clean and refreshing and gave a view of incredible sunsets. No AC but the ocean breeze provided plenty of cool air. Small kitchenette was very useful so we didn’t have to dine out for expensive breakfasts. Would highly recommended!

This is a wonderful spot. Every room has a lanai right on the water - can't beat being able to watch the waves with your morning coffee! Well-designed rooms, thoughtful and considerate management, lovely little pool. Only downside is crowded parking, but with Hawaii's narrow roads, you're better off with a small car in any case. Highly recommended!

This place is a little gem. The rooms were updated and decorated perfectly Hawaiian. We stayed on the third floor and our balcony was right on the ocean. Spelt with the doors opened at night to the sound of the ocean. There is no elevator but it didn’t bother us. Great place.

Romantic Getaway
We could see dolphins and whales from our room! We recommend staying on the ground floor so you can head out to the sea wall easily to view urchins, yellow tangs, crabs, and even an eel or two. Perfect for couples. Everything is walkable, although it might be a mile or so each way depending on where you are going. We had the pool to ourselves most days.

Easy check in/check out. Cozy little place, very nice ocean view…We stayed for 3nights@103, they provide parking but very limited, swimming pool with sunset view is relaxing. Microwave/coffee maker/mini fridge/ plates/bowls/cups/knives/spoon&forks/descent bed/towels(and beach towels too) no A/C (you don’t need it, electric fan on standby) just open the glass sliding door & feel the island vibe!I will definitely come back here again. Thank you Kona Tiki!!!

Amazing views from all areas of this property, if your looking for an air conditioned stay (this not for you) no air con. Please mindful there is no lift provided for higher floor levels and the carpark area is very restrictive. A good walk to nice restaurants if you are fit, staff very polite.

I loved the Kona Tiki Hotel. I was travelling alone and looking for a quiet and comfortable place. The Kona Tiki was perfect! My room was clean and bright and had its own little lanai overlooking the ocean. There is a small pool here which not many other guests seemed to be using so I took full advantage of that after my day’s excursions and came back to the hotel where I enjoyed an afternoon swim and suntan and then watched the sunset, which was spectacular every night. I enjoyed the fact that the rooms don’t have TV’s or air conditioning (I hate AC), and the bathroom only had a shower stall, no bathtub, but I think that also makes it non-children friendly which only contributed to the peace and quiet of this place - it’s basically an adult-only hotel without saying that! (Not that I dislike kids but I was travelling mine so it was nice to have that break.) I loved the Kona Tiki Hotel and I want to go back! I loved the Big Island and am already thinking of how I could move there! :)

Amazing stay and experience
The location of the property is amazing. The owners went above and beyond helping my extend my stay (because I loved it so much) without any hassles. I was visiting a friend who lives on the island and and there were no issues with her coming to pick me up/ drop me off, or come and hang out by the pool. Owners were very kind and professional and extremely responsive to any issues I had (of no fault of their own). The pool area is amazing. being right on the water and always seemed like you had the whole place to yourself. Can't wait to come stay again

Loved staying here! Right on the water which was lovely. No AC like most places here on the Big Island, but you can leave the balcony door open at night for a nice breeze and to hear the water crashing against the rocks. We would definitely stay here again!

Black mold room
We were assigned room 105. The space setup is more for one person. There's no closet or dresser, the kitchenette has a fridge and microwave (no induction cool top as.advertised), and we found black mold in the cabinet next to the mini fridge. The bathroom has a pedestal sink no countertop space for toiletries. The pool is not a saline pool but filtered seawater with a lot of chlorine. If we knew what to expect I think I would give it a better rating. But the black mold under the counter is definitely a health hazard.

We enjoyed our stay at the Tiki hotel. The hotel felt so quiet despite being on a busy road. The sound of the waves blocked out traffic noise. The pool was gorgeous, i could have spent the whole day there. The bed in our room was fairy worn out, but overall i wpuld stay here again and would recommend it.

Perfect Hawaiian Hotel Experience
First of all, all rooms in the hotel are within a few yards of the Pacific Ocean. No need for fans or white noise generators; you fall asleep to the sound of actual waves crashing against the seawall right in front of the hotel. There is no phone or TV, but good wifi. The room is simple, and unpretentious. It looks like a classic 1950s hotel, but with the kind of upgrades that make the most sense (new floor, bathroom door, and shower enclosure). The bed is comfortable and the room decor is dominated by sliding glass doors the full width of the room. You can watch the waves from the bed and just beyond the seawall is a school of bright yellow Tangs. It's as if Hawaii is a beautiful picture of a tropical paradise and the Kona Tiki Hotel is a simple, elegant frame around it. Highly recommended.
