on beach, good value. Could not get the TV to work and no hot water.
Good value for money, good location, free parking, spent very little time in room and that was more important

We love this little hotel. The staff is awesome and you are right on the beach. Try the in-house cafe for breakfast! If you want a quiet stay at a place that makes you feel at home. Try the Hotel coral Reef!

Perfect hotel for Kalalau hikers
This hotel is perfect they stored our bags while we hiked the Kalalau trail, also they have lots of propane from previous hikers, call them to ask to hold one for you in you don't have time to shop before your trip.
