This place is awesome. Perfect location, the view is really nice. They have so many things they share too.... BBQ, Big Island books, maps, sunblock, flippers and masks... mostly things people have left behind. Room 106 and 206 are the only single rooms non-kitchen. 106 was pretty noisy in the morning, 206 is better in my opinion. We stayed cool... More

We spent 14 days at the Kona Tiki, and wish we could have stayed longer. Wonderful location -- right on the ocean. Great couple that manages the facility (Michelle & Gary). They made the stay there just perfect. Nice continental breakfast with wonderful Kona coffee. We were on the 1st floor and enjoyed the view and the waves crashing on... More

This is the hidden gem of Hawaii. Great views, great location and all around awesome affordable spot. It was our 2nd time at the Kona Tiki and we highly recommend it to all.

We stayed three nights on the third floor ( no elevator) in a suite that had a full kitchen, with refrigerator, stove, microwave, and dishwasher. The room had also a very nice under the gable table to eat "al fresco"and one inside. There is no AC but the ocean breeze is so nice that is no needed. The location is... More

Usually I'm right in sync with other Trip Advisor reviews, but I don't see what the fuss is about this place. Other than being cheap, it didn't have much to offer. It's really noisy at night between the surf (no gentle waves hitting the shore - it's big waves crashing against rocks) and the highway (every motorcycle and truck sounded... More

We stayed there last November, my son liked watching the crabs on the rocks below in the ocean. Nice place, the managers were very nice and helpful. There is no phone in the rooms, and no aircon, but just a ceiling fan and the breeze outside. There was a nice continental breakfast in the morning. And you have to arrive... More

I really don't know how much an ocean front room can cost, but this one is amazing for $100 per night. Went swimming right outside the room, saw lots of reef fish. This is an amazing place!

Before you go to Hawaii, be prepared for sticker shock -- everything costs about twice as much as on the mainland. That includes hotels, car rentals, restaurants, and groceries. In that context, the Kona Tiki Hotel is a great value, perhaps the only Kona coast waterfront hotel with rooms around 100 USD per night including tax (kitchenette rooms are about... More

My extended family filled 3 rooms from xmas-new year's and had an amazing time! We ate every meal by the pool and watched the sunset with cocktails in the same spot every night. Yes, our room was a bit noisy during the day as it was right next to the road but at night there were very few cars out... More
