Perfect stay!!!

Perfect stay. From check in we were given Hawaiian leis and had a wonderful overview by a staff member. Rooms were clean and quiet and beds comfortable. Housekeeping regularly cleaned each day. The pool and bar was perfect for relaxing. The ocean view was incredible with people surfing every day right in front of the resort. Valet parking was always quick and friendly. We would stay again in a heartbeat!

Ko'a Kea on Po'ipu Beach Was Perfect

We chose the Ko'a Kea Resort due to its proximity to the Kauai Half Marathon start and finish locations. But we were soon thrilled with our choice as it was perfect. The welcome on check in and through out our stay was exceptional. The food at the hotel's Red Salt was delicious and well presented. We spent time at the pool and nearby beaches. The pool bar was quick to delivery drinks. We wish we'd been able to stay longer. In fact, we're planning our return visit.

Almost perfect

Overall, our stay at the Ko’a Kea was fabulous. The entire staff were both professional and friendly. The grounds, restaurants, pool and work out facilities were all very nice. I was a little disappointed that our “Ocean View” was only really visible from our patio. In addition, the walkway to the beach is damaged and closed, making easy access difficult. The transportation options are somewhat limited. Still, we had a great time.

Wonderful Resort

We were upgraded to an ocean view room. Spectacular! Super quiet, comfortable bed, excellent shower and great Nespresso! The staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Had great dinner recommendations from our valet. Walking distance to shopping and eating. Don’t miss a dinner or breakfast at Red Salt. Short drive to other eating and shopping.

Reviews were deceiving! Our bathroom had dark rust colored stains all over 1/4 of the marble floor. Ceiling was low ( not up to legal standards) and the large fan covered another foot of depth. I am 5’5” and could touch the fan blades flat footed. Not enough space for lounges by the pool and all were saved with towels. Restaurant hostess was unnecessary for breakfast and kept us waiting while carrying on an extended conversation with diners. Under good management she should have excused herself from conversation and returned after we were seated 3 minutes later. On the last morning of our 3 breakfasts she was working at the bar with a bartender and sent a waitress to seat us. Not on the beach. Comparable to a $350 dollar room, not $700 plus $40 daily for mandatory valet parking. I don’t believe the hundreds of reviews were valid ones by actual guests. We felt deceived.
