My husband and I spent 4 nights at this amazing resort during our Hawaiian Honeymoon. After a long flight from Washington DC, we were greeted so warmly by the friendly staff who, not only took us on a tour of the resort, but arranged our dinner reservations for the evening. The resort is situated close to Poipu Beach, a wonderful... more

My husband and I just got back from our honeymoon. We stayed for the last half of our trip on Kauai at the K'oa Kea. It was, in a word, incredible. The staff -- especially Jim, Michael and Jaime -- knew what we wanted before we even asked for it. They were friendly, accomodating, thoughtful and kind. We felt like... more

We spent 4 nights here, dining at the hotel restaurant on the last night. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit here with the ever attentive staff, peaceful surroundings, and impeccable decor inside and out. This location is the perfect spot for a romantic getaway for 2. The pool is just the right size for lounging and the spa is wonderful and... more

This is a great boutique hotel located among mega resorts. After spending a week here we were sad to leave the hotel's amazing beds. However, I will stay on the North side of the island on my next trip to Kauai. It is worth mentioning that this hotel has the best staff I've come across; the service was wonderful, smile... more

My husband and I visited Kauai in October prior to a conference in Honolulu. We couldn't decide between the Grand Hyatt in Poipu or the Koa Kea. We decided to book at the Koa Kea. It was so new that all we had to judge it on were about 35 reviews on TripAdvisor. Every review was positive and after staying... more

We spent 4 nights at the Koa Kea on Kauai in October 2009 and wished we could have stayed longer. The hotel had just opened in April and is brand new. It is clean and modern w/o being barren looking. Instead is seems warm and intimate. A local told us that it was rebuilt on the exact same footprint as... more

Beautiful room, no detail missed! Excellent service. Amazing restaurant. Good location. more

My wife and I (ages 40 and 34) stayed eight days and visited several of the competing higher-end hotels in the area, including the Hyatt and the Sheraton in Poipu. The Koa Kea is ideal: practically brand new (opened in April 2009), small (only 100 or so rooms), less geared toward the big family scene, ultra chic yet simple and... more
