Hotel Molokai offers a picturesque setting with stunning ocean views and friendly staff. However, my experience was marred by cleanliness issues in the room and an overwhelming event that disrupted our stay. While the dining options were nice, the lack of a good beach area and pool facilities fell short of expectations.

I absolutely loved my stay at Hotel Molokai! The oceanfront deluxe suite was perfect for my birthday trip, featuring a huge balcony that provided stunning views and a relaxing spot to unwind. The staff was extremely helpful, which made my stay even more enjoyable. On the downside, there were some minor issues like ants and the room above the restaurant, which led to some foot traffic outside. Additionally, it was disappointing that breakfast was only available on weekends. Overall, it was a great experience worth recommending!

Hotel Molokai is a beautiful spot that truly allows you to unwind and soak in the scenery. The oceanfront deluxe suite we stayed in was spacious and offered stunning views, especially during sunsets. The staff was incredibly accommodating and made our stay special. However, the noise from the restaurant below could be a downside, with guests often wandering up to our room. Also, breakfast was only available on weekends, which was a disappointment for us.

This hotel has a charming old Hawaii feel with lovely grounds and a stunning view of the ocean, perfect for sunset watching. The rooms, while clean, could use some updating and I found the pillows too firm for my liking. The dining options were enjoyable, especially the restaurant, and while there are some extra charges to be mindful of, the overall value was quite reasonable for a full-service stay.
