Excellent location, it was quiet and felt very private and secluded. Gorgeous views all around.

The “Mountain view” room wasn’t really a view of anything until we left the room, not at all what I was expecting. Unit 28, all you can see out of any windows is other units.

We ended up with a room that was not near the water as we had hoped for, but was up high and was even better! We had fantastic views of the water and the mountains beyond. The whole resort is an older style that has had work done on it to make it very usable. It is in basically a residential area and the staff were helpful with various requests we had. Its location was great for us exploring the north and east coasts prior to our stay in Waikiki.

This resort is a long way from anywhere but that can be part of its charm. A car is essential to access it and to even go out to a restaurant, yet $15US plus tax is charged each day for car parking! If this was just included in the fees, it would not be such an issue. On check in, I was told that coffee, fruit and banana bread would be available early in the morning. That sounded great, but irrespective of what time I rocked up in the morning, all that was left was the coffee and a couple of bits of fruit. Probably not worth mentioning really. The information on the Booking.com site says "An Aloha Nights Buffet Dinner is offered on Monday and Wednesday. Other activities include Pau Hana Friday's Dinner & Fireknife Show." These didn't happen, so they shouldn't be on that website.

Staff was lovely and helpful. Banana bread each morning was yummy. Enjoyed lounging on floating docks and walking down to the beach where a sea turtle was hanging out every day of our stay! The boat ride for snorkeling was amazing!

Thought I had booked a room with a balcony but, apparently I did not. They did upgrade us, which was nice but room needed updating, cleaning, and more comfortable furniture so it didn't really feel like an upgrade. Roosters walk us up every morning, which I enjoyed but my daughter did not. Key to room was hard to get door open but staff member showed us a trick to make it work.

Location was wonderful-rooms were quiet except for roosters crowing in am. if you have your air conditioning on you probably can’t hear them.

what was shown as our room from Bookings.com is not what we received. This is a first time occurrence for me. We were supposed to have a suite with water view and a room with Mountain View-not what we received.

We loved the location as it was tucked away from the hustle and busy city. We wanted a calming scenic location and we got it here. It was on the Eastside of the island close to kaluoa ranch where we were visiting. 15min away by car. The resort provided kayaks and paddle boards which we tried and had fun. They provide ultra water filtration for your water bottle which was convenient because we hiked a couple times and filled up our hydro flask. We stayed a week and eventually needed to wash some clothes so it was nice that they provide coined washers and dryers on site, which could be billed to your room for convenience. Huge plus. Breakfast was very light such as fruit and banana bread with options of coffee or tea. We planned to eat local restaurants to support the local businesses so we didn't mind.

The only complaint would be the rooms walls are paper thin and so you can hear your neighbors nextdoor or above you. Especially with kids. Only thing we could do was run air conditioning fan to drown out the noise. It was hot anyways but ended up being a thing we noticed.

The location is beautiful, with a very relaxed atmosphere The staff are informative and very helpful

When we arrived we were given a room which although large had no open windows or view We asked to be moved and we’re given a studio room, which although much smaller felt larger due to numerous large windows and a small balcony Sometimes larger isn’t always better

The location is gorgeous! In a calm, quiet neighborhood right on the water. Clean, spacious room, with a big deck to relax. The bed was nice and comfy. Friendly staff. Big sitting area with a view of the water in the lobby with coffee and banana bread in the morning. Nice kitchenette. Slow pace and very relaxing! Felt like “old” Hawaii!

Since they are nestled in a residential community and built up a hillside, parking was a bit of a challenge. The spaces are small and hard to maneuver in and out. Also, the couch in the living room and on the deck was not very comfortable. Small inconveniences for such a beautiful, serene place!

Paradise Bay Resort was hidden in what appears to be a residential area. The place is beautiful! Pool, jacuzzi, kayaks, lawn chairs out on river/bay and very lush Hawaiian gardens. The staff is great and very helpful. The WIFI works great and they have a nice 'club house/lobby' to sit in and relax. I also like that they are right off of the 83 which puts you right next the the Valley of Temple, 10 minutes away from Kualoa Ranch, and 30 minutes for the Polynesian Cultural center. Lots of local places to eat near by and Safeway is 4 miles south of the resort and there are lots of beaches near by.

The room was very small, smaller than expected but it was functional since we were only there to sleep and then go. It would be nice if they had a small table in the room instead of a coffee table and they could use some better chairs to go with the table . We cooked breakfast on the hot plate and a table would have been great for eating and to set up my laptop to check work emails etc. We ate out on the porch most of the time. There is one AC unit in the bedroom and a ceiling fan in the front room. The AC window unit was noisy - which most of them are. We used white noise boxes to cut out most of the noise.

The overall facilities were very nice. The view from our balcony was amazing. Every morning, we would awaken, make coffee, walk out onto our deck, and watch the morning rise over the mountains while listening to the roosters crowing and the birds singing. We filmed most mornings to capture the feeling and take it home. The staff are amazing, kind and very helpful. We had a medical emergency, and they were extremely helpful.

Our room was clean and comfortable but not as pictured. The bathroom was totally functional, but aesthetically, it could use an upgrade. A small disappointment in a lovely setting.

Paradise Bay is definitely paradise! We had one of the Mountain View apartments and enjoyed a fully equipped kitchen and a balcony with views of the lovely, carefully maintained gardens, the mountains and even the ocean. If you like a quiet location with lots of beautiful nature surrounding you, combined with true Aloha Spirit this is the place to be: Everyone made us feel really welcome and the stuff was always very helpful. We loved the kayak tour, the live music, the coffee, everything. You couldn't find a better starting point for exploring the beautiful east coast of Ohau - and if you feel like experiencing all the buzz of Honolulu even that isn't far away.
