Independent, Kauai hotels

"I don’t need to vacation anywhere else!!!! Ko’a kea is MY place!!!!!!!"

"Staff and property are perfect for the area. The room was clean with a well equipped kitchen. The resort is a bit secluded from the already small secluded town of Hanalei. They do offer a shuttle service into town and back if needed. We loved our experience there and would stay at the resort again. "

"Stayed one night between timeshares. We have done this before. This time we were upgraded to a kitchenette which was newly renovated. One of the buildings is currently undergoing renovations which were much needed as we have stayed there before. KSH has an excellent location on the beach and the Lava Lava restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere. Sadly, the prices have soared in the last couple of years. Still a go to place for us on Kauai."

"Very helpful staff at every step, both our early check in and letting us swim in the pool past quiet time into the 9 o'clock hour. Everyone so nice and welcoming. I very much appreciated the single night booking, when many others needed 2 or 3 night minimums. The included breakfast was a nice plus. All was well with the room. We'll be back on our next trip to Kauai, which will no doubt be longer."

"Service not good! Our food was cold and over cooked!"

"Great staff"

"Great location. Close to beach! Loved it."

"Property was well maintained, but a bit dated. The individual units could use some deeper cleaning. Oceanside view was beautiful, staff was super pleasant…I would definitely stay there again for a day or two. "

"Staff was very helpful. Hotel was comfortable and clean"

"We love the place, been there before and never had any issues, but we miss the swim up bar."
