Waiahole Beach Park is a place of solitary and peace on the north-east shore of O'ahu. Although…read morethere are no lavatories and lifeguards in sight, the park is merely for admiring the vistas of the North Shore. The locale is calm and there's no dedicated parking but street only. The murkiness of the waters, dark sands and reefs makes it difficult to nearly impossible for swimming and snorkeling. Watching my feet sink into the nearly black sand took me by surprise. The beach area provides a large grassy area for picnics in the open sun surrounded by lightly hovering trees. At a glance and on many great days of perfect sunny weather, the contrasts from the Ko'olau's are visible through the weightless pendulous clouds. Look further into the open horizon to see Chinamans Hat. I love the chirps of the countless exotic birds that congregate at the lonely mangrove tree and bring life to its branches and drooping roots. The shallowness of the water and the abundance of fish attract fishermen from all over the island. The region makes a great location for weddings photos and avid shutterbugs. The beach park was previously used for television and movie films such as LOST, and 50 First Dates for its stunning scenery. Its surrounding areas are residential homes that line along Kamehameha Hwy. Besides the passing of cars driving past, continuous sounds of rippling waves lashing on shore and the trees are swaying to and fro. The park is a great place for reading and allowing time to pass, be lost, and disconnect from reality. I recommend bringing your own beach chairs, and towels for wiping mud off your feet. The park can be mushy especially after the rain. To keep the beauty and livelihood of the park, please be respectful to the land and pick up your trash. There are hardly any trash cans so bring a garbage bag of your own and not leave them on the beach.

I celebrated my birthday here last weekend and it was such a great experience, minus the weather…read more.. I wanted to make this review cause the photos posted on here does zero justice to how beautiful this place really is! The bathrooms and hot shower houses were clean and it felt really good to have it available! The place is also secured. There were staff on site in case we had questions, Tara was very helpful in answering all my questions! We camped at oama left and we had oama right neighbors. It wasn't that bad of a distraction at all, there was a lot of space available for both of us. For this campsite you have to pay for a minimum of 12 campers, but it wasn't too bad considering it's a big space for tents and tables. 2 picnic tables were already provided so that was good! The hot showers were a great touch, after a long day. The beach was walking distance, we overnight fished and had a great time. Some of the rules: there are activities but they are available for ala cart purchase, there is a pool there but you have to rent a lifeguard, you can't have day visitors come by, you're given wristbands for the stay. There are also assigned parking stalls per camp site, we had 3 for ours. Will definitely be booking this place in the future! It's a really nice getaway...

There are bathrooms and hot showers and we always have a great time. The swimming in the area is not the best. Lots of reef in the shoreline but you can walk a little ways down and have better swimming spots. The only downside to the location is the parking lot is far so lugging your things gets exhausting. There is an entrance closer on the other side but we are not allowed to use it. Bathrooms are also extremely far and is a nightmare for your early morning or late night bathroom needs. Every time we've been there, parking was a mess. You're assigned a parking spot for your site but no one follows the rules. Also not enough parking. Our site allows 4 stalls but has a 10 person max. We are 5 couples, total 10 people which means 5 cars. All things aside, we love this location and will definitely be back but I would love to see improvements with a second bathroom on the other side as well as parking or drive in options for offloading and unloading.

Paradise Bay Resort Sept 23 - 27, 2026…read more Very disappointing stay, and after 5 days, I still have not received a response from management regarding my concerns. We stayed four nights expecting a clean, comfortable, properly maintained two-bedroom room at a nice resort. Unfortunately, our experience was very different. Our first room, Room 57, faced a large propane tank, which was very unsettling. A shed directly behind the room was accessed very early in the morning and created noise that woke us. The porch light also did not work, leaving the area extremely dark at night and making it feel unsafe entering and leaving the room after dark. After two days, I requested a room change, which the resort did accommodate. Unfortunately, the second room had its own problems. We found ants in the room, including around areas where we were keeping and eating food. When I reported this, maintenance came in and sprayed a chemical while we were still in the room. We were not told what was sprayed or whether it was safe to remain inside. I had to request Clorox wipes to clean the surfaces where we prepared and ate food. The second room also had an A/C issue. I turned the A/C off for a period of time, and later that evening, when I tried to turn it back on before bed, it would not work. As a result, our final night was extremely uncomfortable because we were unable to properly cool the room. I did not report in the late evening because my daughter was already asleep. When I spoke with customer service - I want to acknowledge that the employees I dealt with were kind and courteous - however, I was repeatedly told my concerns would be passed along to management. No one from management ever contacted me during our stay, or reached out for a follow-up and I have not received a response in 7 days to an email I sent. If you book with this resort the online photos are not what you get! Overall, we experienced an undesirable and potentially unsafe room location, a non-functioning porch light, early-morning noise, ants around our food, chemical spraying while we were occupying the room, and a broken A/C on our final night. For the price we paid, this was not the experience we expected, and the lack of management follow-up has made the situation even more disappointing.

We rented out the entire property for 3 days for our destination wedding with 35 friends and…read morefamily. We had some family staying at the Marriott hotel just a short walking distance and the rest were on the property. Since we live in CA we were planning everything from afar without a planner and I can tell you that this property is even more beautiful in person than pictures do it justice. We loved that each villa was very clean and fully equipped so our friends and family felt like they had their own space but we could all come together on the beach or in the common areas like under the lighted patio. There is also an outside tv that worked perfectly for playing our rehearsal dinner slideshow. We paid a $2100 event fee for the wedding day but had parties each night grilling out so it was well worth it. Since it was a March wedding, there were rain showers the first two nights on the property but we were able to hang out under the patio and we also rented a tent. We got super lucky that on the actual wedding day it didn't rain at all and we even saw humpback whales breaching in the water right in front of the property! it was amazing. I would highly recommend TMV for any brides that are looking for a property to have an intimate wedding with family and friends all staying in one place, where you can DIY the whole thing like we did with the help of other amazing vendors like Keneke's grill and Waiahole Nursery for food and flowers, Costco for alcohol, and Mersadi Olson photography.

We didnt even get to stay here because the owners are back and fourth on policy's Booked in for Dec 2020 during covid. My family contracted Covid days away from trip. We were definitely well within the Covid guidelines of a return policy, but they wouldn't give one so we agreed to just using the credit at a later. After that they more than able to cancel it and tried to reschedule us for the spring . Their availability went away every time. Every few months we would attempt to make a booking, but they were always full. (interesting right ?) Next thing you know two years plus go by. Now she says she's unable to give us any compensation or credit because we're past the two years. It's not our fault they did not have availability. Don't book your stay here. The owners have every intention to get money out of you and lack any type of customer service. Worst customer service and just the worst selfish people. Greed: greed /rēd/ noun 1. intense and selfish desire for something, especially wealth, power, or food.

Note: the gate closes at 6:45pm, so you'll need to plan accordingly. There are some spaces you may be able to park right outside the gate, but I don't think they're considered official parking spots. Double check signs! There are some large sinks throughout the campgrounds which allow for washing dishes, fruits, and vegetables. It's also a great place to freshen up for the day. The bathrooms were clean for a beach bathroom and there are some showers inside the bathroom space as well. The water is cold! The bathroom was pretty well stocked with toilet paper, though it can get low later at night. Bring extra toilet paper just in case. There was no hand soap. The beach was beautiful! It is covered in reef, so it's not a great swimming spot. Perhaps when the tide is high you may be able to go out--but be extremely careful of our precious coral reefs. Great space for lounging on the beach! As always, remember to pack out what you pack in (and grab some plastic from the beach too!).
