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

Sorry to hear that you may not have enjoyed your stay to the fullest. We sleep with our windows open on first floor, but we know people have different levels of comfort with that. We have not served breakfast since 2020 as stated on our website; unfortunately, there is still old information floating around out there that we do not have control over. We have loungers, umbrellas, and towels for the pool in addition to gear & towels that can be taken to the beach. It's true that we don't see everyone all the time even though we are nearly always onsite, so we try to make clear that you can text or call with any questions if you don't see us around since we are happy to answer questions or make suggestions. We hope you enjoyed your time on the island overall.

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.

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

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.
Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2024
Response from KTH on 22 Jan,2024
We do wish you had let us know there was an issue during your stay - we certainly would have addressed it then! Mold is a constant enemy in all of Hawaii (especially being this close to the ocean) and we try our best to fight it; it looks like this situation cropped up quickly, and we are taking care of it immediately. We do not advertise cooktops -- they were in a few rooms of the "old" Kona Tiki before renovations (although not in the "Ground Floor Standard" room you selected), so you may have been looking at old information. Our unique pool is nearly entirely fed by waves crashing over the seawall, and chlorine levels are maintained to a safe and appropriate level for a hotel pool. p.s. If there is some type of misinformation somewhere regarding Kona Tiki, please do contact us directly to let us know since we have little to no control over information on sites other than our own direct website -- which has accurate pictures and full descriptions of all of our rooms, plus we welcome phone calls. Mahalo!

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.

Excellent mini-hotel right on the water. Great views of coastline and the ocean from the balcony. Ate most meals in the room with help of kitchenette. Expensive but worth it. Saw dolphins jumping and swimming from balcony. Also many birds in the palm trees and fish are visible in the water below. Great colors in the sky at sunrise and sunset (see photo).

A nice room. It is just a text to check in and out and we had no problems during our stay. We enjoyed the ocean view from our lanai and watching the crabs play on the sea wall. We also enjoyed seeing the birds and lizards around the back garden area and would stop to see them every time coming and going. The full sunset can be seen from the steps of the building or pool area. The no air conditioning wasn’t a problem for the most part. It was a little on the warm side during the day, but nothing over whelming. We kept the lanai doors open as much as possible to keep the room cooler, but had to close them at night due to the noise because I am a super light sleeper and even with ear plugs the ocean and traffic noise was too much for me. We used the ceiling fan and provided floor fan while sleeping and it was comfortable. It is not really walkable to anything, but we really enjoyed the small size of the hotel and that it was less busy around us. We were the only ones in the pool everytime we used it, which was nice. There is a fridge, microwave, coffee pot and a few other small cooking appliances that we didn’t use. A few dishes and silver wear available. Just FYI they supply one pot of coffee, but no cream or sugar so make sure you bring extra coffee with you and any add ins needed. It is a regular coffee pot, no k cups or anything of the sort. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

An oceanside gem in Kona
I enjoyed my stay as the Kona Tiki is right by the ocean and I felt at home in this smaller hotel. Michelle was friendly and helpful. My room had been updated so it looked clean and fresh. I had a microwave and fridge as well as a kettle, toaster, coffee maker and crockery & cutlery. Although there is no a/c, there is a ceiling fan and breeze from the sea plus a plug in fan which I didn't need to use. There is no tv however there is free wifi so I streamed some shows on my ipad, with headphones as there is a quiet time after 9pm. I didn't use the pool but it looked very clean as did the surrounding terrace. There is currently some building work being done on the upper floor but it didn't disturb me too much. I would definitely rebook the Kona Tiki as it felt like a home from home

The hotel is very quiet except for the relaxing, soothing sound of crashing waves right outside your balcony doors. The king bed was extremely comfortable and the room was clean and spacious. A lovely lanai to sit out on with a beautiful view of the ocean. The sunset is spectacular from the lounge chairs by the pool. There is no air conditioning but the fans keep the room temperature comfortable. I highly recommend staying at this hotel. We spent 3 months visiting the Big Island.

Would recommend to anyone who wants to be central - great location if you want to travel north or south as well as walk to local shopping area. REALLY appreciated the fans as there is no AC. Slept with the slider open and there was traffic noise to contend with as it's on the main street, but we got use to it. ;) Overall great stay!

Kona; our first time and WoW!
I have been a Marriott member for years; thought that the chain provided the best service so stuck with it for years. Over the last 2 years I have been using hotels.com to find small, quaint hotels to stay at and found this one for a quick couple trip in early May 2023. Found some good tickets from SJC>KOA and so was searching for a place to stay and the Courtyard wanted ~$350 a night and this place wanted around the same prices but it was heavenly. 1. no tv's, so you enjoy the view, the sounds and the pool 2. quiet and only 17 rooms 3. had the pool to ourselves the 3 days we were there with the exception of the 2nd day where we shared the pool deck with a couple who stayed for 5 minutes then left. 4. The rooms are decorated nicely and very clean. 5. Easy to get to and nice couple owns the hotel. 6. They have fridges and light dishes in the room so you can easily hop to the store and grab breakfast food. 7. shop locally (not safeway) and try HiCo coffee, so good, and serves alchohol. We will be back for sure, it's the perfect place for us and glad we found it.

Absolutely wonderful location overlooking the water. Quiet, clean and comfortable. Beautiful room layout and amenities provided. Convenient check-in process. Lovely pool area to lounge and hear the crashing waves. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing atmosphere. I believe there are only 16 or so rooms available so we really didn't see any other guests during our stay. No A/C but the fans kept the room comfortable. The constant sound of crashing waves were soothing. A 10-15 minute walk to restaurants and small convenience stores. We would definitely stay here again. Mahalo!
