We stayed for 5 nights and couldn’t be happier! The hotel was wonderful! Beautiful pool area and beach area. Lots of seating and most with umbrella’s. Beach was awesome with chairs set up, umbrellas and even hammocks. We loved sitting there at night watching the waves come in and the sunset. Hotel was clean and well kept. Hotel staff was friendly and super helpful. We loved the bikes and took a nice long ride along the beach. The valet staff gave us great directions and tips on where to go...

We ended up staying at the Hotel Coral Reef last minute due to an unforeseen circumstance during our camping trip in Kauai and I am so thankful we chose here! This is a place that are now few and far between; a family owned and ran hotel. Unlike most other places in the area, there are no "resort fees", "cleaning fees" etc. Peggy Sue is the great-grandma and is the most adorable person you will come across! She welcomed us with open arms and as we were only staying for one night she insisted...

The house was much larger than we expected, and had every amenity of home (but for shampoo). The owners (and really everyone we met in the town of Pahala) were incredibly warm and welcoming. We will come again.

Koloa Landing property is absolutely beautiful. The gardens around the pool and property are amazing. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The pool restaurant food was really good. The free yoga and exercise classes was a nice bonus. Our room was very quiet and spacious. The bed was really comfortable with more than enough pillows. I highly recommend Koloa Landing.

The hotel is nice and clean. The furniture in the rooms could stand to be updated but the bathroom was nice and the bed was comfortable. It's quiet too which is nice. The gym needs some kind of universal machine but has good cardio equipment and free weights. The lounge/lobby bar is fantastic and so is the restaurant. Most of all, the service is truly 5-star. Kauai is a go out and explore island with less resort-dedicated time but this place is worthy of your time.

We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights at the start of April 2024. We had a King Room, Pool View and we’re on the 3rd floor in the easternmost building. Cleanliness is huge for me, and this property and room was immaculate. The hotel room had flooring throughout (yay for no carpet when you’re packing sand around), and the bathroom was one of the largest I’ve seen in any standard hotel room with an awesome walk in shower. Staff with pleasant and very helpful. The view: phenomenal of the large pool...

I am 29 years old, travelling with my girlfriend. This hotel is so underrated. The room was very clean and prettier than online photos may suggest. The view on the mountains was simply perfect. It has an authentic hawaiian vibe and is close to nature. The owner, Philip, as all the staff, were very friendly. The pool is clean, the breakfast is convenient. We had music shows three times. We definitely recommend!!

Expectational Customer Care!
Due to Hurricane Lala and cancelled flights, we were unable to make our reservation. Notwithstanding that the booking was non-cancellable, we contacted the hotel to enquire about a refund in the exceptional circumstances. We received an immediate positive response and they and Expedia have now processed the refund. MAHOLA
