Waves crash near the lanais of Koa Kea Hotel & Resort's oceanfront guestrooms, a collection of low-profile buildings that blend with the nature around them. Inside, fresh flowers accent simple, modern island décor and art prints of coral. Koa Kea means "white coral," a tribute to the life-giving power of the reefs. According to Hawaiian mythology, coral is the goddess granddaughter of the world’s creator. From November to May, Koa Kea’s slice of the Pacific hosts a migration of humpback whales, so keep an eye to the horizon.

Everything my husband and I wanted for our honeymoon and more! My experience was 10/10 and staff is just incredible. Dawn greeted us with such a warm welcome and Erin mixed up the tastiest drinks by the pool. Our room view was breathtaking and the walkability to other locations, beaches, restaurants, and more was amazing and easy.

I almost don't want to tell others about it, and then have the resort be crowded the next time we want to book. There was such a beautiful view from our oceanfront room, the staff was absolutely fabulous, and there are thoughtful little touches everywhere -- like the laundry made available to guests which made our stay so much nicer.

We stayed at an ocean front room. Sweeping views and sound of Pacific Ocean from the bedroom. You can see the surfers from the private balcony. Room service comes in 2x per day to replenish water and towels, made beds. Coffee in the room is excellent, not the typical variety. We had a wonderful experience staying here.

Disaster. This hotel has gone way downhill from what used to be a great place. They are understaffed, and the rooms are old. They smell old, carpets are musty. In need of a renovation. Food takes 30-45 minutes to be delivered poolside. Staff at the hotel acts annoyed when you ask for something. Have friends who were there over thanksgiving and said that the wait times for food were an hour plus. Much better off going to another hotel until they bring in new management and renovate the rooms. The place is turning back into the run down motel it once was

PROS - Valet staff was incredible. CONS - Hotel is over priced. The experience was mediocre. Limited amenities, hotel needs repairs and updating. We were celebrating our anniversary and the experience didn’t meet our expectations. We were so restless and left the hotel everyday to find beach access. The access to the beach felt unsafe.
