Stayed for Papaya Paradise for a little under a week for the 2nd leg of our honeymoon. Like any hotel or B&B there are pluses and minuses. Can say my wife and I would not stay here again. Place has potential but would tell anyone on their honeymoon to avoid at all costs. Here is a quick summary:

Positives:
+ Location, you are right near Kailua and Lanikai beach! Both are amazing
+ B&B provides you with chairs and umbrellas that you are free to borrow

Negatives:
- Room is small, we definitely felt cramped while indoors.
- Rooms are not that clean. Found dust everywhere.
- Bob & Jeanette Martz can be a bit strict. You are not allowed to talk on your phone outside. Only whispering is allowed.
- Bob at times will “spy” on you. Not a very relaxing experience if you will.
- Breakfast of cold cereal or frozen bagels were not appetizing. Coffee was cold.
- Bed was a bit firm. Some people might like this but for us was not that comfortable sleep.
- Only had old blue towels in the bathroom. Towels had a musty smell =(

All you need for a wonderful time before and after the beach can you find at Jeanettes and Bobs awesome property. A nice cottage, a private pool and a big lanai are offering a relaxing atmosphere. Charming Bob and Jeanette were always helpful with tipps and always good for a joke. We'd enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this B&B. We will come back one time, for sure ! ( Forget about Waikiki and go there!). Honolulu is just about 20 mins away. Warm regards to both Bob and Jeanette.

We just came back from Hawaii and stayed on Oahu, Big Island and Maui; our accommodation at Papaya Paradise on Oahu were delightful; clean, comfortable and pretty central to each corner of the island. Bob and Jeanette couldn't have been more helpful with suggestions what to see and the best way to get there. When we left we felt we were leaving friends behind. We highly recommend this B&B. .

We stayed at the Papaya Paradise for six nights beginning January 24 2012 We really enjoyed our stay there. It was the first time that we have stayed at a B&B. We had a very good experience there. Bob and Jeanette are the most gracious hosts. They gave us very useful information on places to eat and points of interest in the area. The view was beautiful as we sat out on the lanai and ate our breakfast with the pool and backyard in the foreground and the mountains in the distance. Bob and Jeanette were very friendly and treated us like family. Ir was especially nice having the use of beach equipment which they provided. We will definitely stay there again if we get back to Oahu. We have stayed at Waikiki before and this was a welcome change.
