We found the room small and convenient and clean. It is located on a busy road across the street from a Burger King shopping centre. it is a walk to a beautiful Kailua Beach but not very convenient to Waikiki area- quite an arduous drive! The hostess was not very welcoming making us feel we were not paid guests. Laundry facilities are advertised, but she suggested I do it at my son's apt complex(who's wife just had a baby). She also asked if there was something wrong- to my son when he was quietly sitting after the first five minutes of meeting, which was taken not kindly. The host was much more pleasant and friendly. I reccomend if you expect a normal, friendly welcoming on beautiful Kailua Beach you will not get it here. I feel it is time for the hostess to retire.

From the time you are welcomed by Marilyn & Jim and and shown the amenities of your room until, with regret , you realize you must go home, you will feel at home. The decor is lovely, the bed, and surroundings are comfy and the muffins are to die for.

We toured all of Oahu from here without the hassle of Honolulu traffic but it only takes 30 minutes to get there which is better than cross town traffic. Beaches here are beautiful and uncrowded. Their hospitality and tourist advice is first class. If you decide to stay here you will be glad you did, we are.

"A home away from home" describes Jim and Marilyn's Paradise Palms! We have stayed in many bed and breakfasts throughout the UK and Ireland, and found PP above and beyond any others. They have thought of everything. I am a very detailed person (ex surgical nurse), and could not improve on or add anything. The Maile Room was delightful, wth a king bed, comfortable big chairs and a large round table, large closet, compact kitchenette (with frig, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, dishes, and lots of drawer and cupboard space). Also a large bathroom with huge shower.
A very private entrance with a table and chairs for outside dining. They also provided a cooler, beach chairs and towels, beach mats, umbrella for that trip to the beach.
Jim and Marilyn were always available, eager to answer questions and give advice and directions. They know their island well. We would reccomend their "home" to all.

Staying at Paradise Palms B&B on the windward side of Oahu is like staying in the guest suite of a good friend – but better because one has as much host interaction or privacy as one wants.

Unlike the usual mainland Victorian B&B’s, which offer hyper décor and hyper breakfasts, licensed Oahu B&B’s are usually studio apartments in private homes. Local regulations prohibit more than an initial basket of fruit and muffins (no served meals), and there is no daily maid service.

Paradise B&B is blessed by hosts (the Warmans) who take their business very seriously. They are extremely thoughtful and diligent in providing everything one might need for an informal and enjoyable stay. They are experts on what Oahu has to offer visitors, and extensive tourist information is also available in each room.

They are ideally located a 10 minute walk away from the north end of famous Kailua beach and a 3 minute walk from a shopping center with several restaurants, a gas station, and a large grocery store.

They have two units, each with private entry and private patio and garden. The slightly larger unit (king bed, $95 plus tax) has the better bathroom, and the smaller unit (queen bed, $85 plus tax) has the better kitchen, although both units are very comfortable and functional. The beds are better than your own, and the bed/bath/beach linens are deluxe quality. Each unit has a private phone line, TV, A/C, fans, etc.

I have heard that there are not that many legal (licensed) B&B’s on Oahu, but based on our stay I believe that Paradise Palms cannot be beat. More information and photos are available on their website [-------------].
