"The size of the room was impressive and had a full size refrigerator and stove. But the room had a funky smell(probably from the interior a/c unit) and millipeds ( a worm looking bug with a hundred legs). Two hot tubs on site, but only one was hot and a 100 yards from our room. For the price, it was ok."
"The beachfront location was perfect, and we really enjoyed being on the east side of the island which allowed us to explore the other parts of the island pretty easily. The grounds are gorgeous and being situated very closely to a couple good restaurants and a small shopping center was very convenient. I would say a few of the staff were less than helpful, and we were not informed that housing only comes on the 5th day of your stay. Since we didn’t know that, we inadvertently put out the “do not disturb “ sign on our 5th day. Once we found out about housekeeping, we asked them to come the following day (day 6). They did NOT come the following day, and when we asked for towels on the morning of our 7th day, we were told that we didn’t need them since housekeeping came. We got the towels and told them housekeeping didn’t need to come, since we were checking out the next day. We left for the day, and returned to find housekeeping had come and replaced our fresh towels with new fresh towels.
Another issue that we had was a smoke alarm went off at 2am in the unit right below us, and because they don’t have 24/7 staff on site, it continued to alarm until about 10am. Needless to say, didn’t get any sleep that night. So even with the issues about lack of communication from the staff, and a lack of urgency in getting issues addressed, I would stay there again due to location."
"If you are planning a stay at Poipu, stay at Ko’a Kea. It is a small boutique property but experienced enough to provide great service, grounds and food. The property was well maintained and clean. It is right at the oceanfront and our room faced it, just steps away. Everything we ate and drank from the bar menu and Red Salt was superb. There are a some things that could be improved that are not Hurricane Lowell related. The bathroom and shower could use updated tile and trim and a double sink. Also, although we did not notice a smell, the rooms are carpeted. Hardwood flooring or similar just feels cleaner. The rooms were tastefully decorated and bed comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay and plan to return!"
"Our 2nd time here! Love the quietness that this area of the island provides. Hotel has some food options but you mainly have to travel a short way for more restaurants and shopping. Immediate access to Wailua Canyon, which makes it really convenient. Great property for family and events…we were a couple though and always enjoy our time and the old school plantation vibes."
