Testimonials
The location of the resort is incredible not only because of proximity to beaches, but because it is at the end of the beach boardwalk so you don't get a ton of walking traffic in front of the resort itself. Book it!
The rooms are wonderful. Everything was perfect. The hotel is in a great location to the beach and the turtles. Our room had an ocean view and we could watch for whales all day and hear the ocean at night.
My stay at Koa Kea Resort was absolutely wonderful. Mornings began with serene sunrise yoga, setting a perfect tone for the day. The lomi lomi massage, enhanced with the soothing scent of plumeria, was a highlight.
