“Lovely”
“Excellent location and hotel, wonderful place to stay for a break.”
“Everything, great location, amazing grounds, lovely unit, super friendly staff”
“Deluxe family suite is spacious, has a great sized bathroom, comfortable beds and everything you need to cook meals. Good location with everything in walking distance - The Blue Door restaurant next door, a cool playground opposite, small convenience store is a 2-min walk around the corner and best of all - the beach across the road which is safe and swim-able for young children. Staff are all lovely, communicate promptly and are very helpful. Very suitable for families.”
“I like everything about the room. It was the perfect size for the three of us. The beds are super comfortable, and the shower was good pressure, too. I like the setup of the room. Cute hotel.”
“Nice and clean”
“Ala Moana is a great motel, just a short stroll to the town centre.
The room itself was very spacious, clean, comfortable, and the kitchenette had everything you needed if you were eating in. The bathroom was a good size. John was a lovely host and very helpful. Would definitely recommend staying at Ala Moana if visiting Paihia.”
“The bed was very comfy and the view from the room was magnificent.”
