Hotel Molokai

Situated on Kamiloloa Beach on the southern coast of the island of Molokaʻi, this oceanfront resort has a pleasant setting amidst lush landscaped grounds and views extending to the volcanoes of Maui across the waters.

Styled after a traditional Polynesian village, the complex offers ocean and garden view bungalows strategically placed to allow the fresh trade winds to cool you down. Each features a private lanai (balcony), en suite bathroom with tub and shower, complimentary Wi-Fi, a cable TV with DVD player, wall-mounted fan, coffee maker, telephone, iPod docking station, hair dryer and fridge. The Garden View Deluxe room is equipped with a full kitchenette and enough beds for up to four guests, while the rest of the rooms have a king, queen or double bed or two twin beds.

A light continental breakfast is served each morning between 6.00am and 10.00am, and the outdoor pool and sun deck overlook the island of Lānaʻi (the pool is closed on Sundays). The hotel provides regular live entertainment, with the Na Kupuna on Fridays featuring live music and hula dancing in the atmospheric torch-lit gardens. The hotel staff are happy to recommend activities to do on the island, and you can sign up for a variety of water activities at the concierge desk, from scuba diving and kayaking to fishing, whale watching and sunset cruises.

There is no restaurant at the hotel, but it is a short drive to Kaunakakai town, where you will find dining options.
