We only stayed at Aqua Hotel for one night which meant that we did not have the opportunity to explore the beautiful island of Molokai. The hotel has a great location and offers a panoramic view, relaxing atmosphere and a good restaurant. The rooms though are in need of a minor update (bathroom) and better cleaning in order to get...

As soon as you walk into the Hotel Molokai you learn why its called the friendly island.. You are treated like an old friend. Hanging out at the bar and restaurant in the evenings is a lot of fun because of the nightly entertainment.. something different every day. rooms are clean and steps frmo the shore.. way more personality and...

I really enjoyed visiting the island of Molokai for the beautiful and often empty beaches. I did not enjoy the hotel accomodations, the food, and sometimes the not so friendly "friendly isle". We had a single King Garden veiw room, this was ground floor with a lanai with 2 chairs and a table. The construction is just a wood frame,... More

I didn't enjoy my experience here. I found the room filthy (they didn't even clean it one night), hot, and staff were generally unfriendly and unhelpful. On Friday, the locals come for the "entertainment" meaning, they will take all the parking spaces and you will have to park on the side of the highway. The good things about the hotel... More

Hotel Molokai was fun, funky, quaint and very relaxing. The rooms are a bit over priced... but very clean and nice. The restaurant is good and has nightly very Hawaiian entertainment. Overall it was a nice 3 day stay. People are very friendly... not a 5 star hotel but nice. A bit noisy at night. Stay away from Friday PM's...... More

The Hotel Molokai is the only hotel on the island. There are some time shares and condos/timeshares/VRBO's in Kaunakakai and the west end. I agree with all of the previous reviews - nice bar/restaurant, friendly management. The Hotel Molokai did send me 2 emails asking me to recommend them on TripAdvisor. Just a point.

I've just returned from a wonderful 5 day vacation on the beautiful Island of Molokai. My Hotel of choice was Hotel Molokai with good reason.

I will start by managing expectations, there are not many hotels on Molokai and the Aqua Hotel Molokai is probably a little older and not exactly a luxury accommodation. The rooms are more like bungalows or cabin-like dwellings. There isn't central air or king size beds but the evening breeze is really cool and the rooms are dated but clean.... More

Hotel Moloka'i is a nice place to stay and.....pretty much one of your only options on the island! Overall, I was pleased with my stay even though my room was rather average compared to similar properties in the islands. However, I was not pleased that I paid nearly $200 a night for a simple room on a noisy parking lot,... More
