We stayed here for 7 nights during May as part of Honeymoon. I had done a ton of planning and research and am so pleased I did! I used Hawaii-aloha.com to book everything, they are base in Hawaii and did an excellent job, also save me some £ £ £ ..... This was my sixth visit to the islands but... More

The Koa Kea was amazing. First, the location right on Poipu Beach is hard to beat. It's first class, yet not stuffy. It's very quaint and comfortable unlike the big chains with tons of commotion. The included breakfast package is well worth it and Red Salt is quite good too. The service is the biggest thing. All anyone at this... More

Stayed at 4 resorts on Kauai - will compare Koa Kea with St. Regis here... Pros for Koa Kea: 1. More relaxed and casual atmosphere - no worries running around in a swim suit 2. Sunny side of the island - better weather is more predictable 3. Red Salt - breakfast package is divine (try everything on the menu -... More

I simply have to respond to the few people who post negative reviews of this property due to its not being a huge, overdone, glitzy resort. First, each person's definition of 5-star is different so I understand if you consider that type of place the ultimate in luxury and comfort and alone worthy of a 5-star rating. However, it is...

Just spent 8 nights at Koa Kea. I have been reading the reviews on Tripadvisor for a couple of years now and must say that it is thanks to those reviewers that we stayed at Koa Kea. It is a small very clean well maintained hotel, no bugs just the odd chicken. The pool is very quiet water is warm,you... More

First class resort and staff is excellent. Ocean View Room great to recharge in the afternoon on the porch with the constant breeze. The one night of rain was fine sitting in the covered porch. Adult pool is a fun and relaxing. Look for small spots along the lazy river. Waterfalls along the river have cove hid always.

We have been coming since it opened in 2009. We have to thank the Grand Hyatt because just before our vacation in 2009 they offered us upgrades on our stay there if we moved down to the Koa Kea the last few days of our vacation. Free stuff and a better room (they overbooked and needed rooms for a convention)... More

Everyday was the best day...Nestled between some big name hotels was this beautiful, romantic, indulgent resort. The rooms were pristine, refreshing feeling and comfy all at once. The bedding is as nice as mine at home (maybe nicer) The little touches - espresso machine, luxury toiletries, turn down service, shells, notes in the room, always calling me by name- took... More

We stayed for 5 nights on the first branch of our honeymoon. We couldn't have picked a better spot for what we were looking for. The hotel itself is small (100 rooms or so) and doesn't have the grandiosity of many of Hawaii's mega resorts, which is part of the reason why we chose it. The setting makes it perfect... More
