Hotel Molokaʻi (Kaunakakai)

Where to stay (hotels)MolokaʻiChecked Oct. 29, 2026

Molokaʻi's only traditional hotel: simple Polynesian-style bungalows on the water just outside Kaunakakai, about 15 minutes from the airport. Expect rustic, old-Hawaiʻi comfort rather than luxury, at about $300 to $350 a night.

  • Area: oceanfront, just east of Kaunakakai town.
  • From the airport: about 15 minutes by car.
  • Price: about $300 to $350 a night (early 2026).
  • Rooms are basic and somewhat dated; there's a pool, hammocks, free parking and laundry.
  • Hiro's ʻOhana Grill on site is oceanfront. No breakfast is included.
  • Other options are condos (like Castle Molokaʻi Shores) and vacation rentals; rent a car, because there are no taxis or ride-hail to speak of.
  • Website: hotelmolokai.com
  • Rates change by season and demand; check the hotel's own site for current prices and any resort fee.
