  We visited the 1st week of December and loved this hotel! You are walking distance from so many good eats and the beach access is super convenient. This was a work trip, so if you care their internet speed is solid for both downloads & uploads.A special shoutout to Kathrine who was an excellent host. She was very patient with our questions and always made sure we were taken care of!

  We had an amazing stay at the Paia Inn after a long day. The service was amazing, and the amenities are wonderful! Would definitely recommend staying here!

  First, you will be charged upfront when you book. This should have been a red flag for me. You have a 30 day cancellation. Once I arrived, I was stuck. I was so unhappy with my $900+/night room that I left early and took a loss. They still charged me for my entire stay even though I checked out. Luckily, I’m from Honolulu, so I just changed my flight and went home. Nothing relaxing or nice about my stay. I hated having to walk through the restaurant to get to my room at night. There were no CLEAN outdoor spaces to relax. Beach was not accessible unless you were willing to risk your safety down slippery rocks. The beach was rough and choppy surf.The staff was friendly, but the place was just too dirty for me to stay. This was my worst staycation ever. I’ve never left a place early before.I’ll upload pictures and you can be the judge.Walkability: Small town with lots of shops nearby.Food & drinks: Sushi restaurant attached to Paia Inn. It gets loud at night with live music.

  Paia is such a cute beach town. A must to see and spend the night in. Paia Inn was the perfect place for this, a cozy environment with a private beach access and an amazing restaurant. Go have a cocktail across the street if you want a different town vibe and come back for some sushi and even more cocktails. The rooms have a great vibe and it helps make everything even more comfortable. The staff are really nice, both for the hotel (receptionists, cleaning staff) and the restaurant. Would have extended our stay another night if a room were to have been available.Nearby activities: Amazing town with lots of cool little shops.Walkability: Everything you need is in walking distance.

  Loved this place! It was a very cute, boutique, ocean vibe hotel in the centre of Paia, so a perfect place to stay if you’re thinking of doing the Road to Hana. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The rooms had all the amenities you would need. The hotel had its own private access down to the beach and provided beach towels. Would definitely recommend visiting!

  This was a steal of a deal as I booked very last minute (right before my Maui flight). I messaged the host and they were very responsive and helpful with the check-in process. Once checked in, I was immediately taken to my room and then was given a personal tour of the property.The Vana restaurant below is a hidden gem! Great sushi, great atmosphere, and great people. Thursday night there was live music which added to the experience greatly. Well done!I did grab an Uber out to Twin Falls at the recommendation of the evening hostess, however Twin Falls folks said I couldn't go without having a car parked (partially for safety as there's no service to grab a return Uber). I called the front desk and they were extremely helpful in hailing a cab for me. Thank you!The hidden, most exciting experience of this place is the passageway to the private beach entrance. It is a public beach, so don't think you are escaping the public in full. No worries! There's also a private sitting area overlooking the beach and water. You may even find a sea turtle friend like I did.Overall, my experience was excellent. It was exactly what I needed and worth what I paid. If it was the full rate, I may think a bit differently. However, I will have Paia Inn on my list of places to stay next visit to Maui.Mahalo!

  Pleasantly surprised at how cool this town is and absolutely loved this quaint little boutique hotel. We got room #10 and had our own private sitting area and tropical oasis with our room. The woman at the front desk was very helpful and took us to our room and had great recommendations on things to see and do, we really appreciated that, she was a doll! Loved the beach access and amenities they offer here. Can't wait to return and spend at least two nights here next time.

  Due to missing our flight out of Maui, my daughter and I needed to find a place to stay for one night. I didn't want to go all the way back to where we were in Ka'anapali, so I pulled out my phone and asked Google, who led me to Paia Inn. I called to confirm that there was availability and Flo invited us to come by and check it out. We called an Uber and Flo met us at the door, welcomed us in, and gave us a choice of the two available rooms.What a lovely place! The front lobby is bright and welcoming and filled with a spa-like scent. The rooms are clean, cute, and chic with upscale soaps, lotions, and bedding. The decor and lighting are artful, a little boho--a little modern--a lot classy. Upstairs was a small communal lounge with water, coffee, tea, and snacks.Kathrine showed us to the private beach access and we couldn't believe the view! There's a small courtyard with lounge chairs and a small table and chairs. There are beach chairs available to take down to the beach, which is steps away. We sat and watched the surfers for what seemed like hours until the sunset and we went for dinner.The small town of Paia is perfect. Lovely shops and great food. Flatbread Pizza and Paia Market in particular.The next morning, we took advantage of our bonus time and went to the beach until we had to leave. I will be returning to Paia Inn on my next visit to Maui. It was the perfect accident and I'm so glad our flight was delayed and my daughter and I had this experience.Rooms: The rooms were so cute and comfortable. Very nice touches and lovely design.Nearby activities: On the way to the road to Hanna. Great restaurants, surfing, beach, shopping.Safety: Very small town and quiet.Walkability: It's a very small town and easy to walk about.

  The Paia Inn was beyond my expectations. The location was perfect. I had a 5 night stay at the Westin booked and I needed a place for two nights. I also didn’t have a rental car. This was very easy to get to from the airport with a taxi. I was able to walk to restaurants and shops because they were right outside. Also right outside was the beach. My first day I saw several sea turtles.Holly and Jocelyn were the two ladies who made sure my stay was amazing.They embraced the aloha spirit.Then I went to the Westin. My stay was fine. I did have a hiccup there and was surprised as how not Westin like it was handled.On my last day I went back to Paia for a tattoo. I grabbed some of the yummy fragrance body products that they sell in the lobby. Holly was also nice enough to let me store my bag for a few hours.I think the Paia in deserves more stars than my Westin visit.I will absolutely come back and visit and certainly suggest this hotel to anyone I know visiting Maui.Thank you for a lovely memory of Paia.The room was a bit noisy as there was a live band. I was exhausted from tracking. I had read this in previous reviews but was not worried. (They do have a noise machine in the room) They were kind enough to move me and my stay was spectacular.

  I am BEYOND grateful to have found this incredible hidden gem. The absolute MOST genuine, beautifully kind, personable, and generous people EVER in life. Just one night into the next day & I immediately feel that shiny new penny feeling that you get from great eats, good people, and a warm & comfy nights rest. Thank you Flo for coming out to get me. As far as first impressions, above and beyond. So kind of you. Thank you Jocelyn for being SO gracious & generous with your time & excellent navigation shares/skills, your enthusiasm is much appreciated. Lucky to have had a moment with you. Tim, Thank you for your warm regards and fun convo upon my departure. You all made me feel like FAM!!!

  Impeccable vibes. Staff are relaxed and welcoming, personally walking us to the room while giving a tour of the beach, lounge, and gardens. Yes, the rooms are small, which makes sense considering the Inn's location. But there are many common spaces, including a private beach fully stocked with chairs and amenities. Linens and toiletries are luxurious. Walls are filled with original art pieces. There's even a nespresso lounge and aromatherapy. It's all very quietly luxe, and not everyone understands subtlety, which is why I think the Inn has some undeserved reviews. Bring earplugs, as you will get some street noise, but it's worth that for the location. Paia is adorable, 10 minutes from OGG, and a perfect Hana kickoff spot. Stay here!

  I love this property!!! I wish I could live here forever. Such a good vibe, beautiful modern remodel at some point recently, private beach hangout, right in the center of paia. ⛱️ I'll definitely spend some nights here every time I'm looking for hotels on Maui. If you know and love Paia then you will love staying here. Even if you want to spend most of your vacation in a large resort type environment I'd suggest spending a night or two here to embrace the wonderful town of paia, ho'okipa, and have an early and convenient start to your road to hana adventure.

  First the bad, do not book the “town view petite suite” 105 (edited per owner's comment.) It’s smaller than our small camper! The two of us could not get dressed at the same time or use the shower and toilet at the same time as they are the same small space. It’s near the front of the hotel and the window was wonky and we heard full conversations of people walking down the street plus the vehicle noise and the music from the restaurant below. For $500 a night that was really ridiculous. The good: staff is amazing. Location is great. Beach is awesome. Parking is groovy. And the room was clean. ** Owner responded that their website calls this a petite room (I didn't notice that when I booked it) and that they recommend for 1 person. On the website it says 2 people. Just take my advice, spring for another $300 and get the garden view junior suite.

  We had a great 1 night stay to be close to the airport after a late arrival into Maui! Everyone working there we met was incredibly sweet and helpful and we will definitely stay there again. The complimentary kombucha was also a nice touch and turned me onto a drink I’ve never tried before!
