She is also the sweetest and you should request her for your massage.

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!

My wife and I stayed at Koloa Landing Resort last month for five nights as part of a Costco travel…read morepackage. I had researched several Poipu resorts before booking, and Koloa Landing stood out for its strong reviews, impressive list of amenities, and what everyone said about the friendliness of the staff. It lived up to all of it. We had a great stay. The resort is comfortable, well maintained, and very easy to relax in. Our room wasn't overly fancy, but it was clean, spacious, and completely comfortable. The staff made a big difference -- everyone we met was friendly, welcoming, and happy to help. They took photos for us, answered questions, and made us feel at home. The grounds are beautiful. We didn't have as much time as we would've liked to enjoy the pools or explore more of the property since this was a short trip, but what we did experience was excellent. We would definitely come back and stay longer next time. Each morning we had breakfast from the little shop in the lobby. They offer breakfast sandwiches, croissants, muffins, coffee, and a few other options. We enjoyed sitting in the open-air lobby overlooking the gardens while we ate. It was a simple and really pleasant start to each day. We highly recommend Koloa Landing and look forward to returning. Thank you to the entire team for a great stay.

The service here was great but nothing about this resort that made it stand out. I may sound…read moreoverly critical but it's partly because I've been to quite a few resorts. Why this resort is capped at 3-stars: 1. Only has ONE restaurant, with limited options. 2. Pools are okay, not ones to "ooh" or "ahh" about. 3. Just because there's a small kitchenette and full-sized washer/dryer doesn't mean the room looks any bigger. 4. Overpriced for what it offers. Positive sides: -family friendly -great, friendly cleaning staff In conclusion, I would probably look to stay at a different resort, if I find myself back in Kauai.

Everything is a minimum of $50 away, $65-$100 each way for airport transfers. 2) Plan on dining on-site early.

The furniture is old and needs to be replaced and it really needs to be painted. Normally when I stay I don't hear anything. This time it was very noisy and difficult to sleep.

I do hope things will be better on my next trip.

The backyard and the pool: beautiful. Sometimes we decided to hang out at the pool the whole day. One day Dan came over and we picked fresh coconuts from the palm tree. For our stay at the beach, they handed out boogie boards and fins. Kila gave us the sports, playing in the garden. But beware, you will never catch her. ^^ Lynettes breakfast is amazing, with home roasted coffee, eggs, pancakes and her famous banana-syrup. She surprised us every morning inclusive a self made chocolate-espresso birthday cake. Wow. Poipu itself is the most beautiful spot on Kauai and Dan, Lynette & Kila gave us an unforgettable stay no hotel can do. Thanks so much guys!

Mom and dad have had a timeshare here for years, dad passed 5 months ago and since Mom had had a reservation since last year, she took me instead. It's been such a special time honoring my dad who absolutely loved sitting on the lanai, drinking his macadamia nut coffee, reading books and going snorkeling. They always get the same room 2314 - third floor up on the very left of the main building. I've attached a video. The most amazing view ever and SO relaxing. For the first 2 1/2 days mom and I just read book after book. We sat on the lanai and just relaxed from the crazy past five months. It was perfect. For the first two dinners here we ate at the food trucks that the resort now has booked in the evenings. One was pizza (Pizza Poundahz) and the other Mexican food (Baja Chalupas). The pizza truck was really, really good and the girl running it was super sweet. The Mexican food was just so so and the guy running it didn't have 1 ounce of personality and definitely not customer friendly (aargh). But I love that the resort has this option so we didn't have to go out, just grabbed our dinner and took it back to our room. Perfect! Beyond all that I would definitely come back here, although I myself don't buy into timeshares. The place is top notch, super clean and well stocked. The Wi-Fi was easy to connect to. They supply enough coffee filters for a week, and one days worth of coffee grounds. Thank you! Being an end unit, we not only have open windows in the front and back but on the side as well, which is so nice. There's no air-conditioning here which I really think they should have even if it's one unit per room, but yes, the tradewinds are nice, but it's still Hawaii-humid, and sometimes kind of uncomfortable. Mom said they've updated a few things in the room like the couch and comfy chairs, etc. This unit has two bedrooms, the second being two twin beds. In my opinion, they should have a king size bed in each room so you can bring another couple. Kids always love sleeping together anyway if you bring a family so having two twin beds is a little weird to me. Overall, we've been super happy. This location is amazing having a top-notch snorkel spot right across the road. There are so many great shops and restaurants in Poipu. You need to go nowhere else!

There is a workout room on the rooftop as well as miniature golf and pickleball courts (modified tennis courts). There are bbq's throughout the various buildings. The kitchens have just about anything you'd need for cooking. There are a couple of different swimming pools. The beach is right across the street and the snorkeling is amazing. You can walk to Spouting Horn. You can walk to the shopping centers and restaurants. You can rent bikes. There are various food trucks on the property on different days. There is a farmers market on Friday (if I remember correctly). The fruits and vegetables are so fresh and fairly priced. DO NOT BUY fruit/vegetables from the street vendors. Complete rip-off. They have different activities daily for people that like to keep busy. The price could not be any more affordable. What we pay to stay there for a week is less than 3 nights at the big brand hotels in the area. You can buy in fairly inexpensively if a prior owner wants out or defaults. We have been staying here for a few years now. You need to take the Rum tour that's about 30 minutes away. Good times!

The street is not busy so it's really easy to cross. The food is pretty good and the drinks are great!

The one bedroom with kitchen is small but not a space issue at all. The balcony makes up for the small inside space, it's large for a one bedroom and I am so thankful there are 4 chairs and two tables on the patio! The pool is very nice! The activities are fun! This is a good resort for families! I would definitely recommend staying here.

The staff is all very nice and they bring you anything you need right away…read more The worst thing about this place is the strange layout of the 1 bedroom villa. The toilet and shower are in one room and then a double sink outside that and across from the weirdly laid out kitchen which is basically all along one wall. There is no dining table, just two barstools at the counter and seating for four around a low coffee table. There is not enough storage space at all.... Two small drawers in a wardrobe unit in the bedroom. There is no way you could store clothes for four people in the place. The studio is really cramped, with even less space in the "kitchen" - there's no way I could stay in that space. The pool by the ocean, on the hotel side is too small given the number of rooms and people. The pool by the villas is a much better size but there is no food service over there. The grilling area needs to be cleaned everyday and it is not. The tables are disgustingly dirty.

This is false advertising and another reason you should read reviews. I guess there's been a lot of issues at condominium number seven. Next time I'll stay at the Marriott where they allow AC to get to a livable level. Do not stay in unit 7.

Immediately, everyone who worked here is so unwelcoming and unaccomadating. From initial check in, the valet/bellman was irritated by how many bags we had, then we were told we had to go back into the check in line and get a pass for his car after we had just checked in. We went to the concierge and he said he couldn't help us, we had to wait in line. So we did, for 20 minutes - once we got to the front, she told us we didn't need a pass to park. Then we got to the "private" dinner which we paid $3k for...showed up and it was just the table with an ocean view with some curtains against the wall.
