Located on Poipu Beach on Kauai’s south shore, this boutique Koloa resort offers an on-site restaurant and spa. Furnished balconies and free Wi-Fi are included in all luxurious guest rooms.

A flat-screen TV and a coffee machine are available in each air-conditioned room at Koa Kea Resort on Poipu Beach. Upscale furnishings, subtle coloured linens, plush bathrobes and premium toiletries are also provided. Select rooms offer ocean views from a balcony or patio. The breakfasts each day were excellent. Over 4 days we tried everything on the menu including breakfast tacos, three eggs, waffles and lobster benedict. The waiters and waitresses were wonderful and friendly, especially Koko and Marlina!

Featuring an oceanfront location near Historic Kapaa town, this Hawaii accommodation offers an oceanfront lagoon-style swimming pool. Free WiFi is offered in all oceanfront guestrooms and the lobby.

Featuring a balcony with an ocean view, all rooms offer a flat-screen cable TV and an en suite bathroom. Tea and coffee-making facilities are also provided in rooms at Hotel Coral Reef. Rooms are located within 50 steps of the ocean. What a fabulous low-key hotel. Our room with two queen beds and ocean view was huge. So clean. Balcony doors to lawn. Microwave and mini fridge. Ocean is much closer than the impression that I got from the photos. The very busy walkway that goes about four miles along the shore is right out front of the hotel. Bikes are available to borrow. Loved the gorgeous - but not heated - swimming pool with a waterfall and natural plants. What a lovely relaxed feel. Manager helped patch together a couple reservations I made into a smooth plan. Appreciated the somewhat more affordability that it accorded in comparison to the other outrageously priced hotels with their taxes and resort fees.
