We spent three nights here. We found it was a great place to stay in Paia, but don't expect much comfort. The room was small, almost all taken up by the bed. But we spent most of our time at the lodge outside in the common area (which we usually had to our own). The bed was good and clean,... More

One thing I lke about Trip Advisor is the ability to share information about small operations that may not otherwise get attention. This lodge does a great job of knowing what is important to a good stay and doing those things very well. It is minimalist - no air conditioning and the bath room is separated by a curtain. But...

The rooms were charming and clean. The room was perfect size. The lodge is in a perfect location. I enjoyed my stay and enjoyed the little town of Paia. My trip to Maui was wonderful. I would come back to stay again.

The Nalu Kai Lodge has a personal touch that's missing from the resorts on the south side of the island. If you're looking for a more relaxed place to stay, and don't mind not being right on the beach, this is a great option. From the web site, I had expected one step up from a hostel, but it was...

Amazing stay! Beautifully kept lodge, very friendly helpful staff to make reservations. Definitely stay here!!!! Ill go back hopefully sooner rather than later. The room/ bathroom and kitchen were absolutely gorgeous. The lodge give you the ability to walk to the beach, grocery store, and the entire paia town!

Here's what's great about Nalu Kai Lodge: - very clean - location, location, location - big shower in comparison to otherwise very compact room - good mattress - not as noisy as we expected from warnings on Nalu Kai Lodge website (we had a room facing away from the road; wind and sounds from the waterfall covered road noise); though...

This two-story lodge is steps from the main street of Paia, an old plantation town and the "gateway" to the road to Hana. It has a limited number of tiny rooms, but ours was spotless and well-decorated. We didn't hear road noise (we were around back) but we did hear noise from other rooms pretty clearly. Most people seemed to... More

We arrived peak season for Christmas Vacation. Paia is BUSY and the lodge is on the main route to HANA, so expect nose to tail traffic at times. This lodge is in the amazing location of the north shore which is still boutique and not as 'Touristy' as the south shore. There are 9 rooms and only 5 allocated parking... More
