Koa Kea Hotel & Resort

There is a lot to like about this boutique resort and other reviews have said most of it. The service is very good, it is well located, and it is basically a quiet environment without many children. There are some drawbacks as well. The rooms are somewhat dated ( other than the bathrooms, big thumbs up for the bidet), and in our room there was a problem with the ceiling fan that was not able to be repaired during our stay. We were provided with a floor fan which helped a lot, but there was no offer to offset our inconvenience or to move us to a different room. Our deluxe oceanfront room had amazing views but the only place to sit comfortable inside the room was 1 chair or on the bed. For the price we paid for that room I expected better than that. We only ate in the onsite restaurant for breakfast. The service was excellent, and the food was overall quite good. Valet parking was prompt and convenient. The pool area was nice but quite often there were no lounges available, all were being used. Unfortunately, in part it seemed that inconsiderate guests would often leave towels on the lounges when they were finished using them and there was no way to know if the lounges were available or if the guest was returning. Also, quite often they would be gone for hours and then return. There was an option to set up a lounge on the lawn area, but that was in full sun...no shade. At times we ended up having to either endure the sun or sit on our lanai which was small and not very comfortable. Overall although I would recommend the resort to some people, it is not likely that we would stay there again.

Exceptional Service from every staff member. Beautiful rooms and views of the ocean. Highly recommend for a relaxing stay.

Fantastic hotel. We wanted a lower key resort, not a massive property. It exceeded expectations. The staff were warm and welcoming. The poolside bar was fun, pool and jacuzzi were great. Chaise lounges and towels were plentiful. The resort is right next to the beautiful Poipu beach, quick walk. Rooms were well appointed and comfortable. Loved the Nespresso machine, nice touch. Early morning gentle yoga was a perfect way to start each day. Would definitely return, highly recommend.

Amazing property. Great for couples that don’t want to be surrounded by kids. Perfect location. Very easy to walk to other beach bars.

Ko’a Kea is just what we were looking for: small enough to feel personal, and large enough to offer excellent services. The location could not be better: swimming beach, surfing beach & snorkeling beach right there, with a lovely pool and oceanfront lawn too. The hotel layout is charming, our room was comfortable & we had a lovely view of the ocean from our lanai. The staff were excellent: Debbie, Alex and the rest of the restaurant staff went above & beyond and Becky provided great concierge advice on activities and some lovely local tips, like Salt Pond State Park and the culinary market on Wednesdays. We will be back!
