This is a great boutique hotel located among mega resorts. After spending a week here we were sad to leave the hotel's amazing beds. However, I will stay on the North side of the island on my next trip to Kauai. It is worth mentioning that this hotel has the best staff I've come across; the service was wonderful, smile... more

Koa Kea was a wonderful find for us.  A haven in the midst of  the timeshare/vacation condo capital of the world!  Peaceful, serene, immaculately maintained, luxurious and stylish rooms, excellent Staff.  Jamie at the pool was was a delight. Jim at the lounge bar a great Chap and full of insider tips on golf and other activities.  Valet and bellhops... more

My husband and I visited Kauai in October prior to a conference in Honolulu. We couldn't decide between the Grand Hyatt in Poipu or the Koa Kea. We decided to book at the Koa Kea. It was so new that all we had to judge it on were about 35 reviews on TripAdvisor. Every review was positive and after staying... more

We spent 4 nights at the Koa Kea on Kauai in October 2009 and wished we could have stayed longer. The hotel had just opened in April and is brand new. It is clean and modern w/o being barren looking. Instead is seems warm and intimate. A local told us that it was rebuilt on the exact same footprint as... more

Beautiful room, no detail missed! Excellent service. Amazing restaurant. Good location. more

The Koa Kea is ideal: practically brand new (opened in April 2009), small (only 100 or so rooms), less geared toward the big family scene, ultra chic yet simple and... more

My husband and I stayed at Ko'a Kea on our first stop on our Hawaii. I wish we wouldn't have left! It was amazing. The staff is wonderful and friendly. The accommodations are perfect. The beds are so comfortable and the bathrooms are large. The hotel has a great location. I can't say enough good things about it. We would... more

Stayed for three days in early October and wished it was longer. Really nice hotel, new furnishings, beautiful pool and garden area right on the water. Staff were really pleasant and gave us a late checkout at 4pm, poolside servce was excellent. Restaurant was good too. We had stayed in Waikiki at the Halukilani and Outrigger Reef before coming to... more

From start to finish, from the smallest detail to the general amenties, this resort has got it DOWN. From the moment my boyfriend and I were greeted by the valet (Dean) after calling the front desk (Eileen) for directions, we felt welcomed and pampered. The Koa Kea is 6 months old and absolutely perfectly designed - the lounge is the... more
