"Too cold "

"As Oahu's short-term rental ban took effect in 2025, Paradise Bay came up as an option. We booked the Ohana suite in March 2026 after the storms had subsided. Paradise Bay is a decent, quiet alternative away from HNL and Waikiki. On the positive side: the room was nice; the staff was accommodating and friendly; the suite looked out to the deck which was inviting in the morning and dusk; there was warm banana bread and hot coffee in their reception area every morning; beds were comfy and large; On the negative side: The resort is on a steep hill, so if you have mobility issues, it could be a problem navigating the property (staff helpfully drove my 86-year-old mother down the steep hill in their golf cart, which was nice); parking is limited and that can pose an issue sometimes especially when it rains; the staff's preferred method of communication is email, which seemed odd but it was responsive when our cable went out and we needed someone to come over and troubleshoot. Overall the room was was clean but there were visible signs of wear in the screens, the kitchen cabinets, and the toilet paper holder was coming off the wall (promptly fixed by maintenance). I had to request dish soap for the sink. The sliding door rails were littered with insects. Not mad, it's an island environment -- that's just the way it is. Paradise Bay is fine to stay at, the views are wonderful. Just keep in mind it's not a 4-5 star resort by any stretch. "

"The room is clean daily. The breakfast is excellent large selection of foods. Staff is friendly, polite, and professional."

"Airport shuttle was an asset "

"This place was amazing! Had everything you needed ready for you with lots of special touches and gifts. Our trip was unfortunately cut short, but are hoping to come back and rebook this home. The host was super friendly and literally helped save our lives. I mean come on, what more could you ask for."

"A perfect day at Turtle Bay Resort."

"This was the most amazing experience at a hotel we may have ever had. The staff, literally from the moment we arrived on the property, treated us so incredibly well and took care of our every need. Everyone was kind, helpful and took pride in their work. Our room was beyond gorgeous and the view was incredible. Property was fantastic, not over crowded and perfectly maintained. Clean pools, excellent restaurants and the beach and tide pools were unmatched. "
