We stayed there during Hurricane Lowell. The staff at Ko'a Kea resort went above & beyond to make sure all guest were safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. Even with the immense stress they were working 16+ hrs straight without any power they still had smiles on their Faces. We will definitely be back hopefully without Hurricane Lowell.
The staff were very cheerful and helpful. They had great recommendations for activities and food. The room was clean and relaxing. The view of the ocean was great and we could watch surfers from our room.
What a beautiful location. Multiple swimming and snorkeling beaches. Great food. Red Salt was terrific. Staff was very attentive and friendly. Loved our terrace and the yoga in the morning.

The resort was amazing…perfect location, not too large, great pool area, quiet, not many children and Red Salt is so good. We definitely recommend this resort.
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.
Really like our Deluxe Oceanfront room, we can step out from the Floor-to-ceiling window directly to the beach! It is just 10m from the ocean. Absolutely would consider come back.
We had the absolute best stay at the Koa Kea. We loved how the resort is on the smaller side, and you can easily walk out of your room and to the pool, beach, or to some nearby businesses (little fish, puka dog, surf shop..). The staff was super friendly and accommodating as well. I also loved being greeted with real leis, chocolate for our honeymoon, and wine in the room when we arrived! The pool bar had some yummy food, and good drinks. The sunrise yoga was fantastic as well. We stayed here for our honeymoon and actually preferred it to the first half of our trip, when we stayed at Hotel 1 Hanalei. Again, we loved how small and intimate Koa Kea felt, and it had a calm, relaxing vibe with mostly adults staying at the property. We already can't wait to come back again for an anniversary in the future.
