If you are on the fence about this hotel…..do it!! Staff is extremely kind and helpful. You can lay on the bed and watch the surfers riding the waves and watch so many crabs just hanging out. The sunsets are breathtaking from the pool. Open up the windows and listen to the waves all night long. Just wow!! Yes, there is no tv or ac…..but who cares when you can feel the ocean breeze all night long. Definitely recommend having a smaller vehicle as the parking lot is small but it is FREE.

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!

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.
