Excellent On-Site Restaurant

During my stay, I had a good lunch at the open-air restaurant. The wait staff were polite and efficient, and the food was tasty and satisfying. I especially loved the live music that added a nice vibe to the dining experience.

Refreshing Pool Experience

The pool was a fantastic retreat, especially after a day of exploring the island. It was well-maintained, and I loved that it was just a short walk from my room. I found it to be a peaceful place to relax and unwind.

This hotel offers a peaceful retreat with beautiful beachfront views and cozy rooms. The staff was accommodating, and the amenities like the pool and hammocks were enjoyable. However, there were some minor issues with noise and limited dining options, and it can be a bit of a drive into town for meals.

I had a mixed experience at Hotel Molokai. The location offered breathtaking views and the rooms were spacious and clean, perfect for relaxing with family. However, the service could definitely improve, especially regarding communication. Additionally, while the dining options were decent, breakfast could be better if offered daily. Overall, it's a unique island experience, but there are definitely areas that could use some attention.

Hotel Molokai offers a unique blend of Hawaiian charm with a nostalgic feel. The oceanfront view from the suites is incredible, but the service fell short with slow responses before our stay. While there are limited dining options, the on-site restaurant served enjoyable meals, though breakfast is only available on weekends. Overall, it’s a peaceful getaway, but some aspects could use improvement.

This resort has a charming old Hawaii feel, with lovely grounds and a beautiful view of Lanai. The rooms, while clean and comfortable, could use some updates, and extra charges for amenities were a bit surprising. The service was exceptional and made me feel genuinely welcome. However, the dining hours could be more flexible, as dinner service stops an hour before closing, which was inconvenient for us.

My stay at Hotel Molokai was a mixed bag. While the location was convenient for exploring the island and the staff were friendly, the overall experience was marred by cleanliness issues and unexpected noise during my stay. The ocean view from my room was lovely, but it was disappointing to deal with a dirty bathroom upon check-in and a disruptive fundraiser event.
