Paradise Bay Resort

Very good

Nice place to stay in...

Liked: Calmness, comfort and activities.
Disliked: Very far from everything

Superb

Not what I expected from...

Liked: The balcony was large and had a terrific view of the bay.
Disliked: The table and chairs in the kitchen were very tall. They were also kind of flimsy, hard to get into and out of, and uncomfortable. The couch, on the other hand, was to low for me. I'm 5'11". TV controls had no directions and were difficult to figure out. Never did figure out how to watch regular cable TV. Luckily some people had logged into some subscriptrion channels (eg. Netflix, Amazon) and not logged out when they left. If location is a factor in your choice of hotels the Paridice Bay Resort is not a good choice. It is located in the middle of a residential neighborhood, and not a very affluent neighborhood. If you like walking to view the sights this is not a good choice. The hotel is located on the side of a hill and required using steps, in most cases. Not good if you have a problem going up or down steps. If you do stay here make sure your room access does not require going up or down steps. The hotel has no restruants, coffee shops, or snack bars. Except for a McDonald's about a mile away the closest restruant is about 3 miles away. The air conditioner did not keep the room (our room anyway) cool if the drapes are open during the day. I think it was working correctly, just too small for our room size and orientation. The drapes are blackout drapes only, no choice of lighter filter drapes, so they had to be closed during the day or the room would get very warm.

Exceptional

Liked: Beautiful location, very peaceful and quiet, fun to explore on the resorts kayaks. Short drive to many nice beaches and hikes.

Amazing place and area

Liked: It was a very calm and relaxing atmosphere. The views were STUNNING and loved the kayak renting included in the price. You can get there from Honolulu by public bus and also move around that part of the island, which is very convenient! 100% would recommend!
Disliked: The walls of our cabin were paper thin... it didn't bother us but it could be bad if you get noisy neighbors.

Superb

Liked: Awesome room, great amenities, cozy spot
Disliked: Sound from outside the room carried in easily - people walking by, chickens, etc.

Very good

Liked: Location was amazing, everything was so close. Definitely need a car.
Disliked: There was no kettle in the room. No shelves to put clothes on.

Good

Liked: It is a quite get away place with reasonable price resort in Oahu island. It is a good place to stay for exploring north &east parts in Oahu.
Disliked: The in room air conditioner unit is too loud that we can't sleep with it on. Heavy lifting getting around with many steps.
