"Those seeking a "romantic getaway" could not "ask for a better experience" than a stay at this "intimate", "secluded" 121-room "boutique" resort."

"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
"The tranquil property offers a more intimate escape than nearby mega-resorts, and because it was constructed on the footprint of a 1960s hotel, it has a superior location that’s closer to the ocean." Full review

"If canopy beds, hardwood floors, turn-of-the-twentieth-century architecture and elegant French dining are right up your alley, then we highly recommend the eighteen-room Plantation Inn."
"Steps from the waterfront, this charming inn combines plantation style with modern convenience. Romantic island- style guest rooms have lānai (verandas); suites have kitchenettes."
"Ten minutes from the beach, this tropical plantation-era inn is a fine value for those who want to be in the heart of the action." Full review
"This is where to stay if you want to be walking distance from Front Street, but still have a quiet place to sleep." Full review
"With a plantation-style look, complete with porches on both stories of the building, this inn lives up to its name." Full review
"The 18-room adults-only bed and breakfast is located in the heart of historical Lahaina Town, less than a block from the ocean"
