This place was absolutely perfect! The first day of our stay, the road was blocked off for the Ironman race, and I’ve never been happier to be trapped somewhere. The suite had a perfect view, comfortable bed with ceiling fan, well-stocked kitchen and lovely Oceanside pool. The manager was so friendly and helpful!

An older facility that's been carefully renovated recently. All the rooms are oceanfront in an unbeatable location. We were able to watch and listen to the waves crashing day and night.

Cute but no air conditioning as it states, but it was unbearably hot stuffy couldn’t sleep. Also the drain in the shower didn’t not drain so the was inconvenient. Don’t expect the coffee and fruit in the morning that was from an old YouTube? Overall pretty clean cute unique property.

Million dollar view. Rooms are quaint. No A/C or TV but constant breeze kept us cool and who go's Hawaii to watch TV anyway ? Small but nice pool. Laid back atmosphere . We loved it. Breakfast on our deck with the waves crashing in was the perfect start to our day.

This hotel is such a gem. We loved having coffee on the lanai each morning with the ocean crashing on the sea wall below. Just beautiful. It was quiet at night and we were able to walk into town for dinner/shopping. It’s a great base for the west side of the island—we stayed for a week and did so much but always enjoyed returning to the hotel for a dip in the wonderfully refreshing salt water pool or just to relax on the lanai. Highly recommend!

What a gem in Kona! My wife and I were evaluating our options between a large hotel or the Kona Tikki and we decided to stay at the Tikki. You get a great ocean front view that’s unbeatable and great value for money compared to larger hotels and what they charge for an “ocean view”. There are no TV’s or Air Conditioning but it was just fine. There’s plenty of ocean breeze to keep you cool and the lack of tv is nice, it allows you to focus on the trip, your spouse/travel partner. The staff was friendly, welcoming and helpful with anything we needed. They are very diligent about maintaining the property at the highest level. We will be staying here again and you should too!
