Frommer's "Everything seems to run like clockwork at this jewel box of a hotel, hidden between the sprawling Kiahuna Plantation Resort and the densely built Marriott Waiohai Beach Club." Full review
Gayot "This low-key beachfront boutique resort offers a tranquil modern vibe in its idyllic spot on Poipu Beach."
Jetsetter "A self-contained beachfront oasis in the sunniest part of Hawaii’s lush Garden Isle." Full review

"Those seeking a "romantic getaway" could not "ask for a better experience" than a stay at this "intimate", "secluded" 121-room "boutique" resort."
Fodor's "This boutique property offers a high-end experience without the bustle of many larger resorts, making it a great place to forget it all, and a perfect romantic getaway." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "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
The Telegraph8.0
"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
Travel + Leisure "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

Frommer's "In contrast to the hotel-style Westin, this elegant condo complex is so enormous it has two separate lobbies." Full review
Fodor's "Abundant resort amenities and pools are notable at these luxury villas just north of Black Rock (Puu Kekaa) along the beach in Kaanapali." Full review
Zagat4.5
"A "gorgeous", "upscale" oceanfront condo/resort near Lahaina, this "family-oriented" property (with kids' club and pirate-ship pool) offers "easy access" to the beach and "great" snorkeling."
Gayot "Here the best villas feature unforgettable ocean views of neighboring Lanai and Molokai --- and then there are those glorious Maui sunsets from the spacious lanais."
Travel + Leisure "For a sprawling resort, the Westin Ka’anapali manages to exude calm...Ka’anapali’s location adds to the serenity: It's a few yards from a blissfully underused stretch of one the best beaches in Hawaii." Full review
