I am very pleased with the decision I made to stay here. I had appointments with a few business clients while in the area and having somewhere nearby and comfortable was a plus. I really hated to leave. Will definitely be doing this again & have already told a few friends about this place. More

Over the phone, I had inquired about rooms and wanted information.The person on the phone, Ophelia, had taken my wifes credit card information but I did not confirm I wanted the room. She told me she had no cancellation policy, so I told her I'd call back if I still wanted the room. I needed to check with my wife.... More

I stayed at Paradise Inn last weekend and had a great time in Pahoa. The Inn is right in town and everything is within walking distance. There was a problem with my reservation initially, but Mrs. Ophelia bent over backwards to make things right for everybody, and is a very nice lady, on the phone and in person. Paradise Inn... More

I was real impressed with what I got for the amount I paid. The place had everything I needed and was in a perfect location. The owner was real nice. I would for sure come back More

Be very, very wary of showing a credit card. 11 months after I had paid in advance for our room, the owner billed my credit card again fraudulently! More

DO NOT STAY HERE!!!! This place was as far from paradise as you can get, it was more like a true hell hole! The place was old and run down and there was junk everywhere. I can't imagine who wrote the other reviews raving about this place because if they were actual normal travelers they would have been totally grossed... More

My wife and I stayed in the Island Paradise Inn during our recent vacation on the Big Island. We hadn't intended on staying there, originally planning on camping, however we arrived into town late and it was raining, so we decided to splurge on a motel. This one was recommended in our guidebook so we decided to give it a... More
