Mamala Bay Golf Course Tours and Activities

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.

A bit dated room but good location. Amenities are great and beach access was very close.
