Hotel Coral Reef Here's a budget choice right on the beach. This small,
unpretentious hotel faces a grassy lawn, coconut trees, and a white-sand beach.
It offers economical rooms and friendly service in an ideal location, within walk-
ing distance of shops, restaurants, golf, and tennis, and just 100 feet away from
good swimming and snorkeling. There's even an 8-mile bike path that starts
right on the grounds. This is a budget hotel, not the Ritz, so expect clean but
well-worn carpets, drapes, and furniture. For families they recommend either a
room with two double beds or the oceanfront suite with a queen in the bedroom
and a queen-size sofa bed in the living room for younger kids. Linda Warriner,
owner and gracious hostess of this quaint hotel, is always happy to give you
pointers on how to stretch your budget and still have a good time on Kauai.
