Beach Hotels & Resorts in Paynes Bay from NZ$179

"Amazing experience at Waves resort ! Outstanding service , fresh food , clean rooms and beautiful views!"

"A charming, older hotel with a fantastic view. Smaller in size, painted in tropical colors, it had a casual, homey feel. We had an issue with the shower head and it was fixed within hours; housekeeping does an excellent job. The mattress was nice and firm. Air conditioning works perfectly. The balcony had had a fantastic view of the sea. A quiet, relaxing vacation spot."

"I was disappointed with my visit. The staff morale was very poor, very unfriendly employees. The hotel frequently books large group events and the space is directly below many rooms, one night the music and noise continued past midnight. The restaurant prices are extremely high and poor quality, we enjoyed meals outside of the property as a result. The pool was closed for most of the day on one day of our visit for cleaning but when it reopened it was really cloudy and we noticed a foamy film buildup on the side of the pool. On a positive note, cleaning staff was very thorough and our room was well maintained. The beach is amazing and the hotel location was perfect. "

"This place is amazing and a true gem. Not only is the architecture impressive but the way it blends with the sea is perfection. The Crane has a small town feel to it; you don’t have to leave the property for dinner, shopping, drinks or music."

"The staff are absolutely welcoming, helpful and friendly and knowledgeable. The balcony views of the water are beautiful. The ocean is clear; the all inclusive snorkelling, tubing, paddle boarding were fantastic. The food was fabulous; healthy, tasty, so many options. The staff are always accommodating for modifications. Highly recommend the complimentary art tour! "
