    While the property is excellent for adults, there is very little for kids to do - fine for us but people need to be aware if they’re thinking of bringing their children. No real beach in front, but there is on both sides. Also a bit overpriced, in my opinion, but so are some other options in Kauai and Maui.

    Exceptional location. Very clean and well maintained. Nice amenities in the room. Food was very good. Staff was wonderful and very helpful; often remembered our names. Good amount of activities offered.

    The breakfasts each day were excellent. Over 4 days we tried everything on the menu including breakfast tacos, three eggs, waffles and lobster benedict. The waiters and waitresses were wonderful and friendly, especially Koko and Marlina!

    Very nice location. You can see beautiful sunsets. Very nice beaches are close by. If you want to explore the island, Poipu Beach is located relatively central. The canyon as well as the northern beaches are reachable within about 1 hr drive. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

    Privacy on lanai area, but was rarely out there to hang out. Could see a sliver of beach. I liked the privacy of room.

    Dinner room service meal was excellent. Delicious and timely delivery! Jacuzzi and wonderful shower in room to relax. The entire staff, friendly, and professional. Shout outs for excellent guest service from Becky & team! Thank you, Becky! You are awesome! The valets, all remembered my name. I felt like VIP! I live by the beach in Honolulu and have previously lived in Poipu for 15 years! My go to spot to relax!

    absolutely beautifully designed. quality, well selected furnishing and tasteful decor not just in common areas but especially appreciated in our room. bed with super comfortable real down pillows and comforter. large quality towels. even lanai furniture had quality furniture with thick cushions and lovely fabric. enjoyed it every time we were coming back to the room. all details like the beautiful glass clot wallpaper and gorgeous throw pillows make it for a very luxurious experience. loved every moment.

    Daily resort fee which wasn’t explained when we checked in. No self-parking allowed which was silly. Not enough beach chairs around the pool which made for competition to claim chairs.

    Very good breakfast: fresh, tasty, with one exception excellent service. Muffins were store bought 😟, but eggs and potatoes were terrific.

    We loved everything about Koa Kea. The room is beautiful, comfortable, and romantic. The grounds are low key with a relaxing hot tub and perfect sized pool. The entire staff is genuinely kind, warm, and welcoming. Great location. We even took surf lessons on our last day and had a blast with the instructor, Alika! I miss it already.

    The beach in front of the hotel, just like a big portion of the island, is rocky, you better have a watershoe to get in the water and go snorkeling. Gym is pretty small, need schedule in advance.

    Location, rooms and facilities were amazing. Everything is very clean. Hotel is not so big so it doesn’t get crowded in the common areas. Highly recommend it.

    Absolutely nothing! Loved it all.

    The property was perfect in every way. It’s a small boutique hotel with a beautiful view of the ocean. The staff was so nice and welcoming. The restaurant was amazing. The food was beautifully prepared with fresh ingredients and everything was so delicious! We enjoyed yoga every morning on the grass overlooking the ocean. The pool was great and it was fun hanging out at the outdoor bar. There are also nice restaurants, a small market, Starbucks and shops in the shopping center nearby which was within walking distance. And we loved having a Nespresso coffee machine in our room. A great way to start each day! Can’t wait to go back!
