What guests think

At Paihia Pacific Resort Hotel, travellers consistently praise the walkable location near the beach and town, friendly front-desk teams, and generally clean, spacious rooms, while noting the older property shows wear and some facilities and maintenance need attention.

Many also like the quiet setting, on-site parking, and budget-friendly rates. Common drawbacks include dated rooms, intermittent maintenance or odour issues, a spa that is sometimes out of order, limited reception hours, and underwhelming breakfast. Expect a simple, good-value stay close to everything, with friendly service but aging facilities.

While the rooms were spacious, the bathroom ceiling was mouldy, spa pool not functioning, no information provided about the property or the surrounding area at time of check-in. Overall the property felt unloved and in need of some significant maintenance.

Great location. The pool must be perfect on summers days, although cold in winter. The spa was not working, maybe bad luck but it can't be much to have it in good condition when you advertise to have one.... Room was good...

Nothing to complain about for the price paid. We stayed two nights. Room was spacious. Area is great. Parking right outside room with an on-site laundry. It’s a budget friendly motel and based on what we paid we think we got excellent value fro money.

The place was nice. Facilities very tidy and comfortable. Pool was a dream for us and the kid. Unfortunately there was no good communication about where to park at the beginning. As it is not marked properly, there was none available at night when coming back, so had to park off the street. When calling in the morning to reception nobody answered.

We really had a bad experience. In reality it’s not what you see on Expedia. The spa wasn’t working, the swimming is full of leaves and dirt in the water. The bathroom outlet seems blocked and water was filling up. Am not going to suggest this to anyone and am never going back there. Very bad. Not happy at all.

Our room was lovely, no problems there, shower could have been a little cleaner. But when we were leaving we used the main motels toilets and they were disgusting. Cobwebs everywhere, floor was so dirty, an over filled sanitary rubbish bin, and the taps looked rusty and filthy. I was so shocked, really put me off. Very disappointed 😢

The hotel is older and could use a few upgrades, but is very clean and in a quiet section of town. About a 10 minute walk to "downtown." Staff was attentive and friendly. The "Continental breakfast" was disappointing and not worth the extra cost and didn't seem to be used by the patrons. Having said all that it was good value for the money.
