Rooms and amenities would benefit from an update at this price point. Minor annoyances: toilet runs all night, some plugs in room not working. Staff were great and provided compensation for any errors made on their end. Always lots of fresh towels and water bottles daily. We did enjoy our stay and can recommend.

I loved the proximity to the beach. There were opportunities to snorkel right in front of our resort. Staff was friendly and responded immediately finding a new room near us when a couple in our group was assigned a room away from the rest of us. I only saw two down sides. One was the extremely high cost of breakfast at Red Salt, the resort’s restaurant. Guests need options for faster, reasonably-priced breakfasts to start busy tourist days. The second down side was the lack of beach access from the boardwalk. It appeared the stairs had washed out and they provided stacked sandbags to get to the beach. Not safe for the two 80 year olds we had with us!

Excellent location on Poipu Beach. Red Salt restaurant is first class in terms of cuisine and service. Although a car is recommended to explore the Island of Kauai, Koa Kea is walkable to shopping village and nearby restaurants. Rooms were well appointed. Excellent staff and service. Highly recommend!!

The quality and attentiveness of the staff was second to none. My wife and I were welcomed for our belated-honeymoon (COVID delayed) and at least 3 different staff members acknowledged our special occasion. On site there is really only the one restaurant, Red Salt, it can be a bit pricey but the food is amazing quality. We’re already saving up for the next visit!

Beautiful property. I liked how it felt a bit smaller than some other resorts, but you don’t feel confined. The food and drinks were great. Everything at the resort was clean and well taken care of. All of the room amenities felt brand new and fresh. The housekeeping was wonderful and everything felt put together right in our room. Everyone was helpful and kind to us. We even enjoyed the lei making class offered. My only complaint would be their description of “ocean view“ might be a bit different than mine. I would have only called my room partial at the very best.
