Koa Kea Resort on Poipu Beach

Beautiful location close to the beach. First room we were shown was extremely dark so we asked to change to a different one that didn't require to have the lights on during the day. Restaurant was decent, bed was comfortable. The one time we wanted to spend some time by the pool there weren't any chairs left, so would advise to go early to secure a spot.

Hotel property is in impeccable condition, rooms are maintained squeaky clean, staff is very polite and friendly, and you are a few steps from your room to the beach no matter which room you are. The pool area is very nice and the pool bar staff is phenomenal: Jessa, Edward and Jude are rockstars! Will definitely come back to this little slice of heaven in Kauai.

We recently spent 3 days at Ko’a Kea Resort in Kauai and was disappointed with the experience. The property looked much older and smaller than it appears online, and the “ocean view” room was quite far from the water. The pool area was very small, with not enough chairs for guests—we had to place towels on the ground to sit. Additionally, the pool bar was out of service one of the three days of our stay. When I raised concerns about the room not matching the photos, no meaningful solution or compensation was offered. I still had a wonderful trip overall, but the hotel was not a highlight. The one standout was the restaurant Red Salt, which was excellent.

This resort had a beautiful view and small enough where you don't feel surrounded by people. It was peaceful and the staff were very accommodating and friendly. We would definitely stay again if we come back to Kauai.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. It is a smaller resort, which we loved. The view from our oceanfront room was amazing!

The Way to the small beach was closed so difficult to get to.no late checkout available. Staff were great!rooms were very small.

Phenomenal property. Great location for other excursions. Sea turtles and monk seals right on the beach. Saw humpbacks from the beach. Every staff member interaction was primo. Valet gave us wonderful ideas for restaurants. Clean room with gorgeous ocean view. We enjoyed some quiet evenings enjoying a cocktail on the balcony. Next time we are in Kauai this is exactly where we will stay.

our room overlooked the beach and pool area. beautiful views all day. room was always perfect with a/c nice bathroom and huge tv

Our stay was overall pleasant, but fell slightly short of expectations. We had booked an “ocean view” room anticipating a direct view of the ocean, however our room overlooked the pool and hot tub area instead. It was only upon arrival that we learned that “front ocean view” rooms are the ones that truly guarantee an ocean-facing perspective, which felt somewhat misleading at the time of booking. The bed was comfortable enough, though not particularly memorable, and while we didn’t have the opportunity to try the on-site dining, the beach itself was nice, though fairly standard. All in all, a decent stay, but I would recommend paying close attention to room categories to avoid any disappointment.
