Ko'a Kea Hotel & Resort

Just opened in 2009 is this oasis -- a small boutique hotel on one of the most beautiful stretches of beach in Poipu, with luxurious accommodations and first-class amenities (including an espresso maker in your room). In the footprints of the former Poipu Beach Hotel (which was destroyed by Hurricane Iniki in 1992), the 121-room hotel offers a central location in Poipu for dining, shopping, and activities, but the truth is that you will feel so relaxed on the manicured grounds and so happy with the beach out front, you won't want to leave. And, really there's no reason to: between the culinary creations at the Resort's dining room, Red Salt, the on-property spa, and the beckoning waves at the beach, you could happily spend your Kauai vacation here just relaxing. The rooms feature everything from a flatscreen TV to iPod docking station.

Facilities:
Restaurant (Red Salt) and lounge; small fitness center; nearby golf courses; pool with whirlpool; small spa
