Hello fellow travelers, If you want to experience Hawaii away from the resorts Paia is the place to be. We had never spent much time here ,except to drive to Hana. Paia doesn't disappoint. It has everything from fine dining, to the best shaved ice we have ever had. The house is very spacious and fun for a family. We spent many hours on the lovely patios ( yes there are two large patios) and just had a great family trip. This is not a high end property but what it lacks in amenities it makes up in location location location.
