Koa Kea Hotel & Resort

Weather was not ideal during our trip but the hotel was very accommodating and comfortable- excellent location- quieter and more peaceful than a big resort. Food was quite spendy both at hotel restaurant and poolside menu but gourmet.

We couldn’t have asked for a better stay on the island of Kauai! The Ko’a Kea resort was the perfect size with a lovely pool, relaxing, hot tub, and very nice room accommodations. The whole staff was very friendly and went above and beyond what we could have expected. This trip was celebrating my special 60th birthday, and we ended here after visiting Maui and Oahu.

We really enjoyed our stay! Staff was very friendly and helpful. When we checked in, the front desk gave us a packet of information that had great recommendations for food and things to do. The gentleman, Jeff, that delivered our breakfast to our room was very nice and helped us have a great start to our day. We will be coming back!

Staff are welcoming, friendly and professional. Rooms are clean and well maintained. The view is beautiful. In walking distance to activities and food locations.

We stayed at Koa Kea because we wanted a smaller boutique resort in Kauai near Poipu, and overall it was a good fit. We booked an oceanfront king and stayed in room 250. The room was somewhat small, but it was directly on the ocean and had everything we needed. Everything was clean, the bathroom was great with a large multi-head shower, the bed was comfortable, and the TV connected to the major apps. WiFi was inconsistent, though that may have been due to the Kona storm during our stay. Despite the weather headlines and apps looking pretty bad the entire trip, we still had usable time outside every day, which was better than expected. We had breakfast at Red Salt three times, dinner once, and spent time at the pool bar on multiple days. Staff throughout the property were pleasant and professional. Bartenders were friendly without being intrusive. Front desk staff was accommodating, valet was quick and polite, and housekeeping was usually done by early afternoon even with the storm. A few notes for expectations: this is not an adults-only property, and there were definitely kids around. During part of our stay there was also a large wedding and what looked like a church group. Overall, a solid stay in a very good location if you want a smaller resort in Poipu.
