Great location, friendly staff, the rooms were great! We can’t wait to go back. A plus was that there were no kids.

The location is hard to beat with restaurants within walking and close driving distance. The rooms were comfortable and very clean. We did enjoy the hospitality suite to take a shower before going to the airport since we had a late evening flight. We felt like for the price the hotel was lacking personal touches and a luxury experience. The pool bar didn't open until 11:30 so that staff didn't have to change over. There was no one offering drinks/food poolside so we had to go up to the bar anytime we wanted something. Having a bartender walk around every 30 minutes or flags on chairs to get attention would have been a much nicer experience. We walked to Holoholo every day for breakfast because the food and price were better than what Koa Kea offered. We walked to little fish and drove to the nearby restaurants for lunch since the pool bar menu was pricey as expected, but didn't have any light options like a turkey sandwich. There was no music at the pool and at the least could have had acoustic Hawaiian music playing. There was a wedding while we were there so they moved all the chairs off the lawn area and the wedding took over the fire pits in the evening. This was fine and I get it, but it sucks when you're paying $55 resort fee and don't get to use all of the amenities. I'm sure the wedding was paying for it as well. The required valet seemed pointless with a parking lot at the hotel 20 feet from the property. We didn't have an overwhelming positive experience with the valet guys. They were only attentive when we had bills in our hand and even at times gave us the keys to get our own car. Just didn't justify the $35 daily valet fee to me. We had an okay experience but would stay elsewhere next time. Not that it is a bad hotel, but the experience didn't match the price. There are so many options in the area with competition that for the price, I'd stay somewhere more basic to get more basic service or just opt for a condo. I'd read more reviews and call hotels to get a better idea of the pool offering since we were on our honeymoon and we're really hopping for a more pampered experience.

Wonderful resort on the ocean with great service, location, and food. The staff is amazing and adds to the atmosphere and Aloha experience!

Be sure to check out the discount for staying 7 nights. We were lucky to find it and got a great deal! They also had other deals for pre-purchase (activity credit, food & beverage credit, etc.) The resort is located in Poipu, which is great area close to many other resorts. It's about 30 minutes from the Lihue airport. The resort was clean, close to the ocean, and the staff are all nice and knowledgeable. We did not have dinner at Red Salt, but found their breakfast to be quite good. The loco moco there was the best I ever had in Hawaii.

Family had a great time here. it was our 3 time on Kaui, and first time at this hotel. The hotel was beautiful, it sits right on the ocean. our time there was peaceful and very relaxing. our room was spacious, well appointed and clean. the house keeping staff does amazing job. All the staff that we encountered were friendly and professional. This was our favorite place that we have stayed on Kaui. we had a wonderful breakfast daily at the hotel, we recommend the Lobster benedict! the breakfast wait staff do a great job. We got our complimentary Mai Tais at the pool bar and they were delicious. We saw monk seals and sea turtles on the beach. We cant wait to return!
