Delightful high quality Hotel on the Beach
The staff were always incredibly kind and helpful. We enjoyed the early morning Yoga classes on the lawn. Our favorite activity was to lay out under an umbrella by the pool and go thru the drink menu.

Beauty everywhere
Such a great experience. A beautiful resort and tummy food and the island of Kauai is so special. Saw massive endangered turtles on the beach today. And a monk seal too. Nature is special here and protected.

Limitless service at a compact resort
Great location. Great service. We arrived at night and the valet greeted us by name - even before we told her our name. That is an example of the level of service at Ko’a Kea. Apparently we were the last couple that was expected that night, so our name was easy to guess but we were definitely impressed. We were escorted to our room and our luggage was brought over to our room for us. The resort is compact so nothing is far away. That being said, many amenities were offered. The beach and the pool were just steps away from our room. The restaurant served a great dinner. There are plenty more restaurants nearby. One morning we needed to leave the hotel very early. We told the valet our plans the night before and our car was waiting for us at the hotel entrance the next morning. We enjoyed our time at Ko’a Kea.

Another Great Getaway
We've been regular guests since its opening circa 2009. Koa Kea offers an intimate setting with stunning vistas. It's a boutique property- romantic, relaxing and clean. All Koa Kea rooms were beautifully renovated just recently. We usually take a room just a few steps from the ocean. Its target demo is couples. If you want a place to keep the kids entertained with a resort pool adorned by water slides and kids activities... this is not your destination. The property is ideally located on Poipu Beach about mid-way between two nice walking destinations; the Grand Hyatt/Poipu Bay golf to the east, and Kikui ula shopping to the west. My wife and I begin each day with an awesome sunrise yoga class with Teri. The pool bar offers lunch, snacks and dinner service from the award winning *Red Salt kitchen (*I'll review separately). And they pour a great cocktail, or mock-tail. The pandemic has adversely affected the global travel and leisure industry no less than any other. The industry has yet to fully recover. Despite the many remaining challenges, no T&L establishment has fully recovered. We've found that Koa Kea has fared as well as any. The property is staffed by awesome, ever-pleasant, knowledgeable professionals who are very attentive to their guests. Many are dedicated long-term employees that make us feel like family every visit. Remember, Hawaii is the most isolated, populated land mass on the planet. Hence, cost for goods and services at a luxury resort such as this are higher than a similar resort on the mainland.

Vacation
Romantic & Relaxing. Clean & Comfortable Worth it! Beautiful sunsets and best hidden spot in poipu. I only wish there was a little live music near bar area. But I loved it. I will definitely return to this beautiful place
