Don't stay anywhere else! Upon arrival we were so excited we chose Mangolani for our 10 day stay! We had considered Paia Inn but after seeing the location in the busy/loud part of town were so glad we were just on the outskirts at Mangolani. The Inn is a perfect 10 min walk outside of bustling Paia town, which means its peaceful when you have all the windows open for the amazing Hawaii breezes. It's also beautifully gated with soft grass and outdoor hang out spots so it's very easy to blend your outdoor living with your accommodations and enjoy meeting other travelers in all of the community tables/hang out spots. We've traveled globally for 20yrs now and this is one of those "magical" spots where you can really see and feel the love put in from the owners--little rock paths, hammocks, handmade signage, lime trees, fresh coconuts chopped open by Dave (one of the owners) for the guests, lots of toys for adults and kids (boogie boards, snorkel gear, coolers for day trips, beach chairs)--they really have thought of everything to make weary travelers have a smooth landing and it was so nice to not have to worry about finding these items to rent. Naleigh and Dave's son little Max (4yrs old) was such a treat and he himself was quite the generous host for our 2 yr old that wanted to use ALL of his toys with wheels ;). This is a GREAT spot for small families! We loved dipping in the clean hot tub every night under the beautifully lit tree. Our large studio apartment was such a surprise-completely modern and renovated and spotless, with great design/style from the rustic barn door to the high end appliance and tempur-pedic bed--you can tell that they really go with the highest quality with everything they do and we really noticed this. Most of all, we felt that Dave and Naleigh were so wonderful and professional from a customer service standpoint-Dave always had a smile and great local suggestions and his staff was super friendly as well and interactive with our son. We also toured the super special tree house and loved it--will likely stay there next time for fun! My only suggestion would be to maybe have an old beater surfboard for usage on day one of guests arrivals until they can secure a rental somewhere. =) Thank you Dave and Naleigh for your vision for this little tropical oasis and for being such great hosts. Places are great but people are what matter--and you guys provided 5 stars all the way around! We are honored to send other folks your way!!
