Kohola Lagoon Tours and Activities

The staff members were really kind and helpful to us in all the little ways that make staying somewhere a good experience. They provided extras like beach gear, free laundry access and supplies, luggage storage for many hours before our flight after checkout. The cleaning crew offered extra cleanings after our mistake deposited sand all over the bathroom with a smile and a “please don’t worry about it” attitude. The location of the hotel cannot be beaten. It is just a block from the best part of the beach in Waikiki. It’s across from the Hyatt which is a meeting spot for many excursions. The best little restaurant and bar (Shore Frye) is a half block away. If you, like us, realize that your trip to Waikiki is heavily packed with excursions and you won’t be in the room except to sleep, this hotel is perfect. The beds are comfortable. It is an older hotel and it shows but the price is right and the staff makes the experience of staying there a good one.

Waking up at Paradise Bay Resort felt like stepping into the pages of a well-worn romance novel. Tucked away on the lush windward side of the island, this private hideaway was embraced by the breath taking majestic Ko'olau Mountains. The staff was beyond exceptional!! Honestly Auntie Marissa went above and beyond to help us and our 4 year old feel welcome and comfortable! She gave incredible suggestions on where to visit! To be honest if I was the owner of this resort I would give both her and Uncle Danny and his beautiful voice a promotion, and employees of the year!!! The kindness and warm Aloha we received by them was unmatched by any where else on the island of Oahu!! I would honestly give 20 stars if that was an option!!! The Captain and Deck hand were both incredible and knowledgeable about the island they also gave us a warm aloha! I highly recommend going on their snorkel and sand bar tour!! We saw sea turtles and went snorkeling over the coral reef !! I hope that they continue to offer their services for years to come!!! The deck hand shared beautiful history of the mountains. They had snacks and drinks and even considered food allergies as my husband has celiac.They were also patient with my daughter!! Very considerate!! if your afraid of bugs or nature stay in Waikiki!! However if you love nature like us want to stay in a rainforest become one with nature and bugs don't bother you this is your dream relaxation vacation!!!

It was just what we needed for our stay, but bare minimum, it was overall clean except for under the bed and under kitchen counter and the shower door is a little scary, I’d prob get rid of it and use a shower curtain, but overall did the job and we enjoyed our stay. Thank you
