Paradise Bay Resort

Had 3 days here in a standard room. As I was sharing with my adult daughter they were very obliging with supply of foldaway bed for her. The resort is lovely and bed was extremely comfortable. As it is situated in an area with lots of residential homes there isn't any shops nearby so best be prepared with own food which can be stored in good sized fridge in your room there is also a small stove and microwave. In the morning they have tea and coffee with banana bread and fresh fruit served on deck overlooking water which is beautiful and you get to meet and chat with other guests. The staff were welcoming and helpful at all times. We took the kayaks out one morning which are supplied free of charge and they also have snorkelling gear available. Beach towels are also supplied. As it is a residential area there are many chickens and roosters roaming which I like but not the crowing roosters at 4am, actually heard someone from another room yelling for them to shut-up! Overall I recommended staying here.

The terrace with its view (if you're lucky in the room draw!) and the peace and quiet are the hotel's only redeeming features. However, cleanliness leaves much to be desired, there's constant overlooking, the place is soulless, the room desperately needs a complete renovation, the air conditioning units are unbearably noisy, nothing is harmonious, everything seems to have been repurposed to furnish the room, there's no breakfast, and the services advertised as free are actually charged. All this for an exorbitant price.

One of few hotels on east side of Oahu, amazing view from hotel deck, a suite type room, nice banana bread and coffee breakfast, went kayaking in to bay. On the side of a steep incline to reach some parking. Overall exceeded expectations.

Perfect for nature lovers and active vacationers. The view from the room was exactly like on the pictures, there was a well equipped kitchen. Bathroom appliances were new. They offer free Kajak 🛶 rentals - great to explore the bay, also there is a guided snorkeling tour which you can buy and it is worth every penny. It is located within nature, so there is chickens running around the property and lots of birds. On weekdays they have a live music ukulele performer in the lobby which is really giving a great vibe in the evenings. You really feel the island - and yes, there might be a rooster waking you in the morning, but that’s the way it is also for the locals. If you want a boring overpriced tourist hotel - don’t go there. If you want a kind hearted place to stay with lots of flexibility (you have a kitchen, there is a nice pool and hottub, ice machine, laundry machines) then it is the place to go. But you know what - DON‘T go there - because I don’t want you to snatch my room away next time 😜 To the staff: Mahalo and Aloha from Vienna, Austria

This place was exactly what we were hoping for! Away from the hustle and oh so crowded Waikiki and other high tourist areas, this beautiful little oasis tucked on the edge of a bay with gorgeous mountain and ocean views...it was perfect for the two of us! We booked a package deal through Expedia and did have some extra daily resort fees upon arrival. They have a pool, kayaking, snorkeling, yoga and the room was more like a one bedroom condo (w/ additional Murphy bed in living room) with a big outdoor covered deck with nice furnishings (table, couch, lounger, chairs) I can't speak on the quality of their breakfast or really any of the activities they offered as we didn't spend hardly any time at the resort itself (sleep, shower, doordash) I will say that the many roosters around there are relentless and I highly recommend ear plugs if you wanna sleep past 4am lol but thankfully I had some with me and they worked like a charm. If I ever returned to Oahu, I would definitely consider staying here again. Also, it's very close to Kualoa Ranch which is where they filmed Jurassic Park and not too far from everything else, especially if you have a rental car. The resort does have parking and covered parking for some which is what we had. Rooms can be a little tricky to find at first but the front desk staff was very helpful. One thing I would recommend to the hotel itself is having an additional staff member at the front desk during the day. Other than that, I highly recommend staying here 9/10!!! (Unfortunately I forgot to take pics of inside, this is all I have of the place itself)

Four Days, Three Nights of Cockroaches The staff, location, and setting are excellent—but room 24 had a severe cockroach problem that overwhelmed everything else. On the first night, turning on the shower sent 30–40 cockroaches out from behind the curtain. From that point on, it was constant: cockroaches in the bathroom, cockroaches on the walls and ceiling, cockroaches in the kitchen, cockroaches on the counters, dishes, drawers, and even in my bag. Every night and morning, more cockroaches. I reported the issue immediately. Despite assurances, the response was minimal—two traps and delayed cleaning. The cockroaches continued nonstop, though numbers dropped slightly after I spent days killing cockroaches myself. Clear signs of infestation were everywhere: cockroach droppings, smeared cockroaches on walls, and cockroaches across multiple surfaces and rooms. On my last day, I still found cockroaches under the coffee maker and even on my pillow. For over $1,100, this was an unacceptable, cockroach-infested stay and the worst lodging experience I’ve had.

This place is a solid 4 out of 5. Like many, I read reviews saying the rooms were a bit tired. Its true, however the other magical elements more than make up for it. Additionally, our room was clean and the beds were very comfortable. I will forever remember getting coffee and banana bed from the lobby and enjoying it on the porch outside our room each morning. What a great place. We went on to stay in a different part of the island and when mentioning that we stayed here to locals they all gushed about what a beautiful property and a hidden gem it is.

From entering my first room where the stove from the 1950’s caught on fire to the room where a rooster lives in the tree outside my window it has been a terrible experience and I’ve only been here 3 days. I would have left if I had not been staying close to family I am visiting. The website is either false or only a few rooms look like the photos. I’ve never stayed in a place of such poor conditions and I’ve been coming to The islands for 35 years.

We stayed at Paradise Bay Resort for three nights in a front ocean room. The room itself was quite old in style and furnishings, but it was clean and well maintained, which made the stay comfortable enough. It didn’t feel modern or recently renovated, but it was taken care of properly. The pool area also felt dated and could use some refreshing, though it was still pleasant to spend time there with the surrounding views. What really stood out in a positive way was the staff. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, approachable, and genuinely keen to help, which added warmth to the overall experience. In terms of value, the resort feels overpriced for what it offers. That said, we came to realize this is quite common across many hospitality places in Hawaii, where location and setting often drive the pricing more than the condition of the facilities. Overall, a mixed experience: beautiful setting and kind staff, but aging facilities and pricing that feels higher than the actual standard of the accommodation.

Amazing service, incredibly landscaped, beautiful mountain views, live evening music.
