Koa Kea Hotel & Resort

Every aspect of our experience at Ko’a Kea was amazing. Reservation staff were super helpful and courteous. Once we arrived, on-site staff were friendly, attentive, and always helpful. Our room (garden view) was attractive, clean, and quiet. King-size bed was super-comfortable, and housekeeping staff were flawless, as were the valet parking staff. We ate dinner twice at the onsite restaurant (Red Salt) and the food and service were great—in fact, the sushi at the sushi bar was transformative. We loved late afternoon cocktails at the poolside bar. The hotel’s location is ideal, with easy access to several beaches. We absolutely plan to return.

This was one of the most memorable vacations we have ever had and it was all due to Ko’a Kea resort. I can’t recommend this enough. The food, service, grounds, and staff were wonderful. I highly recommend for anyone who is tired of the large frenzy of the huge chains. This resort is intimate and so special. We will definitely return.

We loved our time at Koa Kea! The concierge was super helpful in planning our adventures on Kaua'i, and the staff was very accommodating and caring. The location is perfect, right next to the ocean with two beaches nearby (turtles galore!). We received a lovely honeymoon gift and we would definitely come back!

The location of this resort is great but the hotel and restaurant are expensive and the quality of the service and food doesn’t measure up to the price.

Overpriced, overpriced, overpriced. Whatever you do, they ask you to pay something. Having to pay 40$ a day for a valet parking that is literally 30 seconds away from the hotel is simply ridiculous. Instead of making the stay more pleasant it overcomplicates things. The only staff that was welcoming and helpful was at the bar. The room felt dated and could really use a modern update. Poor privacy for rooms on ground floor facing the garden.
