MAUI - accommodations in paia
can anyone recommend a nice accommodation in or near Paia? we are going to a wedding in Haiku and would like something close by. will spend up to $300 per night - doesn't need to be fancy but needs to be clean and cane spider free. thanks!

There are no hotels in this immediate area. Most of the accommodations will be cottages or B&B's. Up the hill a few miles from Paia is a lovely property with a big house and some smaller studio-type cottages. It's called Banyan Tree House. I loved the setting when I stayed there a couple years ago. The website is:

I can't imagine spending my vacation in Hawaii in Paia. A funky, but rather ugly little town.

Aloha from Kaua`i...
We spent a long weekend in one of the garden cottages at The Inn at Mama's -- affiliated with Mama's Fish House in Pai`a, and enjoyed it immensely. Kinda funky, but clean and quiet -- and dinner at Mama's Fish House was waiting for us just a few steps away! 8-) 2-bedroom is listed at $325 1-bedroom is listed at $225 studio is listed at $175 http://www.mamasfishhouse.com/ Their beachfront cottage (wow!) is listed at $575... |
I second Auntie's suggestion of Mama's. We've never stayed there but the outside is very, very Hawaiian and it's right on the water - great location!

I stayed at the Tropohouse in Haiku 6 years ago. At that time it was a basic, clean and very friendly BnB. The house is separate from the owner's residence which is still on the property. I think they remodeled when that whole rentals licensing thing happened on Maui a couple years back. http://realtravel.com/h-206304-haiku..._and_breakfast

Surprised to see this re-surface.
Original post was in July, 2006! I want to take back my recommendation made at that time for Banyan Tree House. I returned for a week in 2007. Different on-site manager; not nearly as nice. Cleanliness and general peaceful ambiance both had gone downhill. |
This is again an example of why the editors and moderators should give disclosure when they delete part of a thread.
There was a person topping all things Maui to advertise the Paia Inn, a newly remodeled boutique hotel in the heart of Paia town. They were clearly advertising. It looks like a nice place. Any news on the shutdown of private rentals north of Paia? |
Regarding private rentals:
I was on Maui last week. Ongoing articles in Maui News about pros and cons of allowing more licenses for B&B's and transient vacation rentals. It appears that an agreement is close that would allow B&B's to operate in residential areas as long as certain conditions are met: owner must live on property, no street parking, observance of noise restrictions during certain hours, etc. The TVR issue is more contentious, and revolves mostly around land zoned for agriculture. I have enjoyed cottage rentals in the past and hope there is a compromise that would allow some to continue. |
Oh, Brian in Charlotte, how can you call Paia ugly?!
There is a new inn in town; I just checked it out yesterday. It's very stylish, clean, and (dare I say) sophisticated for Paia. Probably a little noisy, as it's right above the road. But it's an awesome location with a right-of-way to Paia Bay, which is a gorgeous stretch of beach you can have all to yourself in the early morning. It's just called Paia Inn. Rates are around $150 and more for suites. |
The advertisements for the Paia Inn are getting obnoxious. Oh, sorry, I mean the faux-endorsements.
