This 79-room beachfront property in Kapa‘a won an award in 2019 for best boutique hotel in the state, thanks to a $5 million renovation that brought a fresh, island-chic vibe throughout the former motel. The closest to the ocean of any East Side hotel, it offers water views from every room, plus free continental breakfast, reusable water bottles, yoga mats and beach cruiser bikes to hit the 4-mile coastal trail nearby. Rooms include a fridge, flat-screen TV, coffeemaker, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
