We were excited about Koa Kea but left feeling disappointed and short-changed. I visited in 2011 and had a great time, things have certainly changed since being acquired by Pacific Hospitality Group. Check-in was super friendly and the sunsets are beautiful, with amazing hikes nearby, but everything else felt like a huge cash grab. Rooms are overpriced and ours (a garden view) faced a wooden fence with zero privacy. The furnishings were tired. We had about 5 medium sized cockroaches in our bathroom too. Extras are charged for almost everything (tho the free sunrise yoga was free and great). There’s an aggressive email marketing system targeting upgrades, valet parking is mandatory at $40+ a day, and even “Luxury” poolside daybeds are extra, supposedly with great service, but we experienced none. In fact, we had to chase down our included fruit plate at the end of the day. Late check out at 1pm is $100, 3pm is $200 extra! The hotel hosted a free cheese and wine hour with live music which was a nice touch. The external watersports company is great. There aren’t nearly enough loungers around the pool, especially shaded ones, making it hard to enjoy what little there is in terms of amenities. The food is wildly overpriced — $60 for a burger and drove us to eat offsite. Koa Kea tries to present itself as a luxury boutique resort, but it doesn’t deliver. We won’t be returning.

Pleasant stay

The resort was very clean. The room was beautiful and comfortable. The service to the room was extraordinary. The landscaping was lush and gorgeous. However, the resort was not very large. The pool was small and the lounge chairs were always occupied. We barely got a chance to sit poolside. The access to the beach was blocked because of high tide. The food and beverage prices were above what we would like to pay. It seems that most people, including us, went off property for meals. The staff were, friendly, helpful and courteous. The lei greetings and complimentary bottle of wine was a special touch. It would be nice if an alternative, such as a voucher for the gift shop etc.)to the wine was offered, as we are not alcohol drinkers.

LOVE the Koa Kea

This was our second trip to the Koa Kea. We love this hotel for the location/value, we love that it is on the smaller side without a ton of small kids, we love kids and have our own but on a couples getaway this is the place to be. Rooms feel high quality and comfortable. We ate there multiple times and really liked the food both at Red Salt and the Pool Bar-try the Pina Colada (dairy free and so amazing!), hurricane fries, poke bowl, açaí bowl. Staff was great! We had a fantastic couples massage at the spa there as well. My only very, very small complaints are that the jets could be stronger in the jacuzzi and the gym was not air conditioned on two of the mornings we went in but it seemed to be fixed towards the end of the trip. For a couples getaway this place is awesome!!
