We had a wonderful stay with fantastic ocean views and a lovely beach a stone's throw away. The rooms were beautifully designed and the location was perfect for sunsets, although the beach was a bit cramped at times. We did find some issues with dining reservations and parking fees, which were slightly annoying. Overall, it was a relaxing getaway with attentive service.

My stay was mixed. The property has a lovely small and intimate feel, with incredible views and a nice restaurant, but it's overshadowed by some serious inconsistencies. My room, while comfortable, was not at all what I expected for the steep price. Additionally, the lack of a proper beach access and the daily fees were quite disappointing.

Rooms
5.0
I was really looking forward to an Ocean View Room, but ended up with a disappointing view of a stairwell instead. Comfortable overall, but definitely not worth the price.
Service
6.0
The staff was nice and accommodating, but some basic services like room cleaning had to be requested daily, which I've never encountered at other resorts.
Location
7.0
The location is decent, but the beach access is not directly on the property. It requires a walk to another area, and there are some safety concerns with beach erosion.
Dining
8.0
Dining at the on-site restaurant was a highlight. The food quality was excellent, but the menu options could be a bit more varied.
Facilities
6.0
The facilities showed signs of age, such as worn carpets and mold in the shower. They definitely need some updates to justify the high price.

5.8/10

While the resort offered some nice aspects, I found my overall experience disappointing given the high price. The location was decent, but the amenities did not meet my expectations for a luxury stay. The room arrangement was not as advertised, and service fell short, making my experience feel undervalued.

Rooms
6.0
Our room was a partial ocean view, but it looked out at a fence rather than the beach. The layout was misleading, and the room felt dated, although the bathroom was quite nice.
Service

The service was hit or miss. Some staff were welcoming, but overall, wait times for drinks and food were longer than expected, which was frustrating.
Location

The location was convenient, with a short walk to the beach, but the beach access was not ideal and involved walking through other resorts.

The facilities, while decent, felt overcrowded, especially the hot tub, which was disappointing given the number of guests at the resort.

Koa Kea is an intimate paradise that truly caters to couples, making it the ideal spot for a romantic getaway or honeymoon. The resort provides splendid ocean views and comfortable rooms, coupled with a highly attentive staff that goes above and beyond. However, the mandatory valet parking fee can be annoying and dinner reservations can be tricky, as they fill up fast.

Rooms

I had mixed feelings about my stay. While the location was beautiful and the staff went out of their way to make our experience pleasant, the overall value was questionable due to high fees and the condition of the property. It's a pretty spot, but you might find better value elsewhere.

The hotel is on lovely grounds right by the ocean, which provided a serene environment. However, accessing the beach was somewhat inconvenient due to erosion that has occurred, forcing us to navigate around sandbags.

The facilities had potential but could use some updates to reach a luxury standard. The pool area was nice, but daily resort fees added up quickly without reflecting in the facility quality.
