    Overall it was nice enough, but I would look elsewhere if we go back to Molokai

    Lets start with the positive! The staff was very nice, especially Ashley at the front desk. The restaurant was amazing, we only dined there 1 night but it was perfect in every way. The grounds were well taken care of and the pool area looked clean and enjoyable (we didn't swim but others seemed to be enjoying it). The words that came to mind while sitting out on the lanai were "serene" and "tranquil" When we travel to Hawaii I like to cook some of our meals and then enjoy them on the lanai watching sunset. With that in mind our original reservation was upgraded to an ocean view suite with a kitchen. When we first arrived and went to our room we were really surprised to find that the room had a loft for the bedroom area. The stairs were very steep and I have some arthritis plus a new hip. When you do venture up the stairs the room is not tall enough to stand up! You have to bend over the whole time you are up there and there is no bathroom. So (old like we are) that would have involved going down the stairs in the middle of the night to use the restroom. I went to the front desk to explain this wouldn't work for us and was shown a regular room that they would allow us to switch to. But that room had no kitchen and was right on a corner with absolutely no privacy (I like to get up early and enjoy sitting on the lanai in my PJs - it is vacation after all!). This room had a small patio and people would have walked by a couple of feet away! So although I appreciated that the staff tried to be accommodating to a change there was no mention of a refund if we switched and really that other room would have been so much worse than where we were. So we moved into the suite and stayed in the living room on the pull out couch (which was not too comfy -- expensive for not comfy, but that was our choice....). The loft stairs were right where you walked from the living area to the kitchen area and my husband bopped his head a couple of times so we hung towels off of them so we would be very careful. The bugs on tropical islands can be an issue so we were expecting it but I was eaten alive! I had 40 to 50 bug bites on my legs by the time we left (we went to the local store and bought some repellent - I don't know what the hotel could really do to keep them away - just saying next time I would buy the repellent upon arrival rather than 2 days later) My best guess was that I got the bites from sitting on the lanai in the early mornings from some birds that seemed to live above the room - I love birds and they were nice to have around but not as fond of their bug buddies... On other islands we have rented condos where they have a fully stocked kitchen. We had hoped this would be the same but it was missing some basic items (paper towels, salt/pepper and missing a few very basic pots/pans) but we made it work. The room itself was fine but a little dark. The view was nice from our lanai. Molokai overall has only a few places to choose from for accommodations. We picked this one based on it having the best reviews that I could find. But honestly, if we would not have been out a pile of money we would have switched to somewhere else even if it meant giving up a kitchen and a view just to be able to sleep in a regular bed. Overall, the hotel was nice - it just wasn't ideal for us.

    Great Hotel, Great Location

    Very happy with our choice to stay at Hotel Moloka’i, ((although it is one of the few hotel options on island.)) The hotel was centrally located on island and waterfront. Our room was perfect - we especially loved the waterfront lanai. Hotel staff were very kind and accommodating. Would recommend to friends/family and definitely stay here again!

    Weekend Getaway with the Ohana!

    Wonderful hotel with a beautiful view! Home away from home! Definitely recommend the second floor room that is over the pool. Awesome views from the balcony! It was a quick weekend getaway with the family. We are definitely staying at this hotel again to visit our family in Molokai. 😊 Mahalo!!

    Nice Place

    Nice clean hotel and although it has been around awhile it is still a great spot. Staff was very friendly, gave us information about the island, beaches and other places to go. Located within 5 minutes driving time of largest town on island. Nice restaurant with beautiful view. Reasonable prices.

    Peaceful and relaxing

    Staff was super friendly, caring and helpful...and quite welcoming! While the hotel design itself is older the rooms were very clean and functional. Unique and charming, excellent restaurant on site. Perfect for the relaxing stay we were hoping for.
