Paihia Beach Resort & Spa

Great stay for a long weekend in and around Paihia. Excellent location, rooms are lovely and big, great food options. Would stay again! Staff super friendly and accommodating. Walking distance to all with amazing views of the beach. Highly recommend!

Great location and accommodation! Truly enjoyed our balcony with ocean view. Their restaurant , the Glasshouse, was wonderful…as was our hostess who greeted us each morning with a beautiful smile. Close to the ferry to Russell which we enjoyed for an afternoon

It’s a nice place to stay, but it’s dated and a bit bland. Areas in our room needed repairing and repainting. Annoyingly the wifi code we were given didn’t work and I discovered this late in the evening when no one was around. The location is fine, across from the beach, but a 10 minute walk into town.

Like other reviews - beware the website photos as they are not representative. We had a 1st floor suite with a lovely view to the ocean and beach just across the road. The room was large but very tired & tatty - we didn’t want to sit on the stained sofa. The bathroom too was a bit grubby (black mould in the spa bath jets, stained and cracked tiles etc. Of the 2 washers and dryers, only one pair was working when we were there and the remaining washing machine broke down. There isn’t a spa service as such, there was no room service option and breakfast was very average, with shop bought yogurt and cheap cereal for the “yogurt and home made granola”. Location is great at the sandy beach and the views are beautiful. So, everything that’s good is about location rather than the hotel Itself.

Our stay at Paihia Beach Resort & Spa was absolutely fantastic. From check-in to check-out, the staff were awesome—friendly, helpful, and always ready with a smile. Our room was spotless, and the beds were incredibly comfortable—just what we needed after a day of exploring. The view from our room was stunning, with the beach just steps away. The pool and spa area was a big hit with all of us, especially our 9-year-old who could have spent all day there! It was the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the sunshine. We also loved the food at the restaurant downstairs—delicious meals, great variety, and lovely service to match. The location couldn’t be better—a short 5 minute stroll into town, peaceful and relaxing. Highly recommend for couples or families with a park across the road, looking for a luxurious yet laid-back escape in Paihia. We’ll definitely be back!
