One of the best boutique stays I’ve been at.

Amazing place... It’s not a big resort with concierge or a beachfront but it was perfect for the vibes of Paia. Exceeded my expectations with bonus touches like access to laundry, borrowing left behind beach toys/chairs/mats and a cozy shared space.
Location is AMAZING. Minutes to Ululani’s shaved ice, Paia Fish Market and seconds to a gelato shop or great coffee/dinner/breakfast at Paia Bay.
Parking is not the easiest BUT they have a great map and directions to show you where and where not to park. We had no issues.

Not sure I'll go back

I think this lodge is beautiful at the entrance and the rooms are nicely decorated but I did not like that the bathroom does not have a door, so it is a place for one person, which is pricey. And that some of the rooms don't have a proper room with ventilation. Some of the ones that have, receive almost all day an annoying fried food smell. It's also next to the Paia cafe which has music every night, so goodbye to sleeping, specially with jet lag. Also tried to use washer and drier and door was closed at the times it was supposed to be open.

Very small

A bit overpriced for what you get. I cannot stress how small the rooms are. You may be OK as a solo traveler but if you have two people, forget about it! You will be on top of each other just moving around the room. Also only a curtain separating the restroom/shower from the sleeping area.
The noise level from the coffee shop next door and the road noise is very loud. The property owners do mention this at booking. They are not joking. Please take this seriously if you need a quiet environment to sleep in. The noise levels do not go down until about midnight and start back up at 7 in the morning. For a bit more money than this place will run you, you could get a very nice room in an oceanfront resort on the west or south shore. This is not a corporate hotel, I think most people would understand that. However, the cost of this hotel and the actual value are way out of line.

Perfect Bohemian down to earth place! Great staff !!!!

Our experience as a couple was PERFECT! If you look for the REAL Maui experience, in a little town by amazing beaches, being relaxed and down to earth THIS IS THE PLACE!!! Great staff, Darcy, Patti and all the others are extremely kind, helpful and the aloha spirit is alive and well here! It’s very international as other tourists and that adds up. If ever back in Maui we will DEF BOOK THERE AGAIN! - It’s the perfect spot and I liked the lodge-like style: clean, simple and welcoming. — I am pretty shocked to read poor reviews as seriously nothing was bad or out of order. Charming little place with the center garden with the fall a huge plus: we felt like in our garden at home. Best atmosphere. I can only think whoever wrote bad review was looking for corporate style “Marriot like” hotels..... boring!!!! This is a unique bohemian place very much in the spirit of Maui, so if you look for fancy, boring, all the same hotels.....go to a Hilton. This is so much better than those corporates sad hotels. Thank you Nalu Kai Lodge staff!!!!

Great stay!! Love the atmosphere!!

Great space for couples, families or very good and close friends. The bathroom has only a curtain as divider so it’s better if you are close. The lodge is in an amazing location, next to everything one needs for a relaxing and chill vacation. We used the outdoor little garden with hammock, fountain a lot, it feels like being almost in a private garden of someone’s home. The ladies (owners? Or workers ?) who work there are super nice and helpful and the aloha spirit is well felt. Rooms are perfect to chill and store your luggage: you are in Hawaii do you need to stay lock inside a room a lot??? We came here to explore and go around, not to be inside an hotel !!! This fed almost like an air bnb - perfect for the bohemian aloha feel the whole town of Paia has. We are perfectly happy with location, way it’s set and built and people around us. We also chit chat in the common garden with few other customers, a plus on the experience. Meeting people from everywhere and getting extra tips on what to do where to visit.... we suggest this lodge if you are down to earth, like simple but fictional things, and want to really feel Maui. Otherwise maybe a hotel in Honolulu it’s better for you- it you want impersonal, cold and nothing original (corporate style) this is not the place for you! I would def come back here!!

Excellent location
