Waves crash near the lanais of Koa Kea Hotel & Resort's oceanfront guestrooms, a collection of low-profile buildings that blend with the nature around them. Inside, fresh flowers accent simple, modern island décor and art prints of coral. Koa Kea means "white coral," a tribute to the life-giving power of the reefs. According to Hawaiian mythology, coral is the goddess granddaughter of the world’s creator. From November to May, Koa Kea’s slice of the Pacific hosts a migration of humpback whales, so keep an eye to the horizon.

There were many things that I enjoyed about the resort, but I just wanted to give a shout out to Marley who gave me a facial at the resort. It was truly special and so incredibly relaxing. I will add more about the resort a little bit later, but as I said, just wanted to give a special, thanks to my aesthetician.

Wonderful vacation spot - beautiful property, fantastic location and unbearable kindness and competence by staff. Special shout out to Patti, Anne and Teri for spa services, Toha at the front desk and Teri for amazing sunrise yoga.

The location was walking distance from shops and restaurants. I was able to run in anticipation of the Honolulu marathon (training) and felt safe doing so. The atmosphere was beautiful. The rooms were high quality and value for the price was very reasonable. Lots of amenities and things to do right on site. Had a massage with Patti that was absolutely amazing - she was very helpful in making recommendations for what lotion to purchase for future use as well. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. The stay was wonderful and I would highly recommend Ko’a Kea

The Koa Kea was top notch! We loved every minute. Beautiful landscaping, rooms nicely appointed and great quality sheets and towels and superb housekeeping. Red Salt restaurant was perfect and delicious. Breakfast, meals, and wait staff were wonderful, especially Raven - our waiter most days. Not one negative about this boutique hotel. Will return again.
