Paihia Beach Resort & Spa Hotel

“Lovely hotel, perfectly located and with stunning views over the bay”

We stayed for five nights at the end of February. We had a room on the third floor which was spacious and spotlessly clean and overlooking the pool and the sea.

We stayed for five nights at the end of February. We had a room on the third floor which was spacious and spotlessly clean and overlooking the pool and the sea.

“Great place to stay. Comfortable and good sleeping.”

Based upon prior reviews, I was worried. However, my experience was quite pleasant. I was in the 4th floor and had a great room.

Based upon prior reviews, I was worried. However, my experience was quite pleasant. I was in the 4th floor and had a great room. Loved what felt like a completely private balcony (you could sometimes hear your neighbors but you couldn’t see a soul in a walk naked kind of way). Could some things be refurbished? Yes. But it has a beachy feel and what you need is here. Part if me wishes it was closer to the town, but its a 10 min walk and across the street from an awesome beach. Prefer that honestly. The free laundry machines are a nice bonus. I will miss this place as I could get used to the view. The entrance thing is a bit weird and what will eventually be built next door?

After a month travelling throughout both islands of NZ, we booked 3 days at Paihia Beach Resort, as a bit of an indulgence to relax and refresh. On arrival, we missed the entrance to the resort due to cyclone fencing which made it look like a building site. We got the impression that the Reception staff appeared to be fixated on their computer screens, and arriving guests were an irritating intrusion. Any queries we made about local places were never addressed satisfactorily. Our room on the first floor was great, with a kitchen and balcony overlooking the pool and the beach. The second day, our room had been given a quick, barely noticeable service, and I had to chase up Housekeeping for milk, as it hadn't been replenished. On checking out, again, the Reception staff member looked up, took our keys, and went back to her computer screen. Nothing like, 'Did you enjoy your stay?', or 'Where are you heading now'. Again, we felt like an unwelcome intrusion into her morning. We stayed in many places throughout NZ, most of which have sent follow up emails to see how we enjoyed our stay. Nothing has been sent from Paihia Beach Resort to follow up on our stay, which is testimony to their indifference to guests. For the cost of the stay, we were expecting a better experience.
