My husband and I did the island hopper thing and stayed at several resorts on 4 different islands. The Koa Kea was hands down above the rest -- WAY better than the Hyatt on Waikiki Beach which nickel and dimed us to death. At the Koa Kea on Poipu Beach-- there is no charge for parking ($30 bucks a day... More

We had a beautiful ground floor ocean front room with a view of the water. We could watch the sunset from our Lanai. The room was small, but well appointed. The shower was excellent, with two streams of water, one from above and another from an angle. The breakfast was included and was very good, made to order food. I... More

Firstly I will say that we thoroughly enjoyed our time at Koa Kea this past week! We enjoyed the quaint resort, its cleanliness, its excellent staff and general relaxed atmosphere. Do not confuse the consumer reviews rating as #1 with a star resort rating...make no mistake, Koa Kea is not a 5 star resort, but a solid 4 star!! You... More

Koa Kea is a wonderful boutique hotel in a great location that has excellent personal service. Our room was lovely, with a terrace and an ocean view from which we watched people surfing. The staff really makes you feel welcome. Everyone at the concierge desk (and there were a few) was fantastic, and they could not have been better, more... More

We travel extensively staying at some great places. Montage, Ritz, Four Season are often the places we stay. Ko'a Kea is one of the top facilities that we have stayed. It was completely new in 2009 and is modern and very cool. People have to know however that this is a small intimate resort with 100 rooms so don't expect... More

We spent a week at Koa Kea at Poipu Beach in Kauai. This property was everything that other reviews would suggest and more. Rooms: large, twice daily service, excellent linens and towels, great lanais and bathrooms. Flat screen HDTVs with many channels and wonderful room service and free WIFI on the entire property. Tip: request an east side room so... More

We stayed in June of 2011. BEST BEST BEST I could not have been happier with our stay. The location was amazing, it was private, the food was amazing, the location was ideal, the view was ridiculous. The rooms were comfortable and well appointed. The thing that stands out the most is the service. I felt like each member of... More

There's a reason this hotel is on the best of 2012 list! It deserves all the accolades and more. We selected Koa Kea for the final stop on our two-week Hawaiian honeymoon this January and boy, are we glad we did! We have been fortunate enough to stay at some of the finest tropical resorts/hotels on various islands (Bermuda, St.... More
