Fodor's Expert Review Kona Tiki Hotel

Editor's Note: This property is currently undergoing renovations.

This three-story, walk-up, budget hotel about a mile south of downtown Kailua Village, with modest, pleasantly decorated rooms facing the ocean, is simply the best deal in town. Some would call this place old-fashioned, while others would say it's local and has a certain vintage Hawaiiana charm. All rooms have fridges, and there's one studio with a fully equipped kitchenette. A deposit is required, and you will need to book well in advance to secure a room.
