"Has more sedate pleasures: an unadorned swimming pool tiled in deep blue, a sophisticated restaurant/lounge with a sashimi tasting menu, and an expansive lawn overlooking a cove." Full review

"Ko’a Kea’s dreamy south Kauai location, on the former grounds of Sixties-era Poipu Beach Hotel, has been popular for decades." Full review
