About the Hotel
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.

Absolutely a paradise on earth.
This was the most relaxing resort we have ever stayed at & we’ve stayed at dozens of other resorts over the last 45 years. The grounds are beautiful & the ocean view & sounds of the waves were breath taking. You can even feel the ocean breeze , you’re that close to the water. The drive was easy from the Lihue airport too. We loved the view of the ocean we had from our ocean front facing room. Waking up to the sounds of the ocean was so calming. We slept so peacefully too. The bed was super comfortable. Our room was very clean & I’m very particular too. I loved all the extras they had. Like the dual shower heads. The magnifying mirror & even a bou de’ in the bathroom. There was a TV in the bathroom too. I suppose so you could relax on the tub if you wanted. All the staff was so genuinely nice & helpful. To-Ha greeted us signed us in. She was so friendly & nice. Lyna also helped us out alot during our stay. And Nick showed us around the resort. They all made us feel so welcome. Even house keeping was more than friendly. Bernadette was a doll. She went above & beyond to make us feel important. Even the valet guys were extra friendly & helpful. We loved the pool side bar & grill. They were very attentive & their food was great. And the Red Salt Restaurant was absolutely delicious. Everything was artfully placed on our plates. We want to go back as soon as we can.

The location is very good; having a car is necessary. The staff is very friendly and the services are top-notch. The room was spotless.

Beautiful location - Great People.
Great location. beautiful and well-appointed rooms. Though Hurricane Lowell struck the island and the hotel while we were there, teh entire staff was extremely helpful throughout, keeping everyone well-informed and fed. Clearly showed the staff gives its all for the property.

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.
