“Koa Kea's Poipu charm”

Koa Kea Resort on Poipu Beach is a loved smaller resort near the beach — clean relaxing rooms with ocean views (surfers visible from bed), amazing food at the restaurant plus a loved bar and spa, cheerful helpful staff with great activity and dining recommendations, and a quiet relaxed mostly-adult atmosphere. Caveats though: the first room offered ran extremely dark until a switch, pool chairs ran out at peak (go early), and parking plus resort fees sit on the high side.
