Banter among them kept it light but they remained professional all while providing the best service and including all guests in convo. To top it off their "tour guiding" / related facts about the coast were great Aside from the team -- loved the smaller boat that could go into the caves, which also made the guest pool smaller around 15. Highly recommend this experience and if we decide to do it again wed only go with this company

The entire staff was exceptional especially the Front Desk Manager Lena. She was so nice all the way up to our arrival answering all my questions to make the trip special and she even offered us a special accommodation just to simply our stay. The hotel itself is very centrally located, about 20-25 minutes from the airport and other small towns to explore for sights and food. It was so nice to stay somewhere where it's so intimate, that the valets, front desk and restaurant personnel all knew us by name! We had an oceanfront suite and loved feeling like the ocean was part of our backyard. And my light sleeper husband was very grateful for the primarily adult guests because it was unusually quiet for a vacation hotel. :).

My husband and I enjoyed spending our Mini-moon at Ko'a Kea in early March. The location is great,…read morewalkable to Poipu Beach. The restaurant on-site, Red Salt, has delicious (but pricey) brunch and dinner. The pool bar is convenient (but also pricey). Our room was spacious and comfortable, with a very nice bathroom and a huge television. There was a free bottle of white wine in the fridge when we checked in. The room keys in the form of waterproof wristbands are a nice touch. It was mostly adults staying here and very few families with children, which is what we wanted for our mini-moon. Cons: The parking is Valet only. The pool is relatively small. The chairs around it fill up fast when it's busy. If a pool chair opens up, you can't get your own fresh towels/chair cover and have to wait for someone to come through with a cart to swap them out. You can't access the beach directly from the resort; on a map it looks like you can access Kiahuna beach, but you actually have to climb down from the boardwalk onto it (I did not want to do this and walked to Poipu Beach instead). The food is expensive and the "happy hour" drinks are $19. Overall, it was a relaxing stay in a beautiful location!

Captain Max was incredible--his sense of humor kept us laughing even as the rain and mist rolled in. The two women on the crew (I wish I could remember their names) were fantastic, making sure everyone was comfortable and answering all our questions with a smile. The playlist on board was spot on, setting the perfect vibe. I wish I could find it on Spotify! Despite the weather, the views were breathtaking, and getting a little drenched just added to the adventure. The food was delicious, especially the smoked pork, salad, and fresh fruit, and my husband loved the mai tais. Even without the sunset, the whole experience was magical. After chatting with other travelers, I'm convinced we had one of the best tours available. especially after talking to a couple at our hotel pool who had paid more than we did and only got snacks limited alcohol. I can't recommend Holo Holo Charters enough, and I'm already looking forward to trying their breakfast or snorkel cruise next time. If you're looking for an amazing adventure, this is it!

Great experience on a beautiful property…read more There are so many negative reviews but that was not my experience and another group of friends stayed here. We both rented off AirBnB from completely different people and we both had great experiences. I live in Hawaii. Not on Kauai, but I think what people expect is the beauty, which it is, with the aloha, which it has, and to be pampered, which you can have... but you have to give a little too. There will be chickens and roosters. Bugs exist. Everything is slow on Kauai and like 5x slower than island time on Maui and 10x slower than Oahu. Now, bed bugs and that sort of thing, no, you should not have to deal with that! I read those reviews, and that is unfortunate. This location is massive. Each building has three floors, all walkup. (No elevators) some have AC and some do not. Some have carpet and others are renovated with hardwood throughout. Some have surfboards and body boards, some only have sand toys. Some are a couple of hundred per night and others, over $1K U.S. It depends when and how you book. Read as much as you can. I will make sure to write a review for the unit I stayed in on the AirBnB after reading these reviews. The bed was SO comfortable. I crashed out. My only complaint was the unit I was in did not have creamer for the coffee. A lot is probably due to how a store is located across the street or you can grab some at the onsite cafe... but still. Coffee was available, and no sugar or creamer. It was clean. Tons of towels. The kitchen had everything. Dishwasher. Everything to cook with. Extras. A great spice rack. A little set to accompany a mini bar (no mini bar) but you could mix drinks and cork wine. Extra blankets. A huge lanai. Lots of shampoo and conditioner, lotion, soap. . . 2 parking spaces provided. 4 towels cards for the beach. Free chairs at the beach to use (1st come 1st serve). Cafe on property. Two restaurants at the front of the property at other hotels, but very accessible. Across the street, many food options and a market, very easy walk. The pool and hot tub are further down and across the street, walk or short drive. I would request this spot so seek out Unit 315 in Building 39.

Staff was friendly and it was such a treat to be able to throw on a swim suit, run across the lawn, and jump in the ocean with ease (unlike staying in Princeville).

Sure, there's no A/C, there are some bugs, and the pool is at the club across the street. 1 open the windows and use the fans 2 chill out, you're in a rainforest, there will be bugs 3 a short few minute quarter mile walk will do you some good.

Captain Kai was competent, informative, and very funny, as was crewmember Vayden, and Collin's mai tais are not to be missed. The food onboard was delicious and included traditional Hawaiian pulled pork and teriyaki chicken. Scrumptious cookies and bubbly rounded out the evening. Some things to be aware of: This cruise is on a catamaran; some of our party were expecting a small cruise ship that would have been a smoother ride. Waves are bumpy, and the windier parts of the trip resembled a mild roller coaster--if that's not your thing or you know you can experience some motion sickness, please factor that into your decision to book a trip. That being said, one person in our party experienced some light motion sickness and was really well cared for by the crew. We really appreciated their kindness and support. If you have sturdy sea legs and an adventurous spirit, I'd highly recommend this excursion. The views of Kauai from the ocean are worth it alone, but the information from the captain and crew about the island and its culture are also super valuable. The whole experience also felt very safe; the cruise will not go to areas with high wind/surf, and on our trip the captain explained why he was turning out of the wind/waves when he made that decision.

Fantastic whale watching with an attentive, relaxed crew…read more We did the 2-hour whale watching cruise with Blue Dolphin Charters, and it was excellent. We saw multiple breaches, tail slaps, fluke dives, and surface activity--the whales were active the entire time. The crew positioned the boat so well that we were able to stay in one great viewing spot and still see everything without moving around. The crew was incredibly attentive without being overbearing. Drinks and snacks were always taken care of--Mai Tais, coconut cookies, and snacks kept coming--and it genuinely felt effortless to just relax and enjoy the experience. The team was knowledgeable, calm, and respectful of the whales, offering helpful context without over-talking. The boat was comfortable, well run, and the two-hour length felt just right. If whale watching is on your list in Kauaʻi, Blue Dolphin is an easy recommendation
