This is a beautiful hotel expect the roads. The staff were incredibly nice and friendly and the food was good. Breakfast left something to be desire but overall was a great stay. We enjoyed it and had fun. It is also close to the beach which was a plus.

Liked: Staff & service
The staff are friendly and helpful but terribly underpaid. The hotel is located next to two bars that are open 24 hours a day–not a good mix. It's not located by the beach but a 5 minute walk away. It's over-priced compared to the dozens and dozens of other hotels nearby. The hot water heaters in the two different rooms we stayed did not work.

This is a very good small hotel benefiting from friendly and helpful staff. Room was comfy (good mattress), roomy and clean. The bar and food was all good too. It is also very convenient for the village supermarket. I would happily come back here. Points to note, this is a fairly lively part of the town and you should expect some noise at night. REM nighttime is cooler and expect people to be out enjoying themselves. Personally, I did not lose much sleep. Maluum cave is a must see local attraction in walking distance (book ahead). The beach is awesome. Power cuts were frequent and short: no big deal. You will want to buy a local eSIM for data and, preferably voice. The service is generally good but expect some drop outs. Above all, expect to meet some great people and have a great time.

The property was very quiet and provided a great place to relax and unwind and enjoy the sunshine along with the pool for cooling off. The staff was very attentive and provided anything needed. The Valentine's night dinner was amazing along with the room decorations. Every detail made the night special for me and my partner. I will never forget it.

I really want to write this review to commend the staff at Aluna. I got horrible food poisoning from food I ate outside of the hotel and felt like I was on death’s door. However once the staff was aware of this, they took note and periodically checked on me to make sure I was okay. Rahman went above and beyond bringing me water, medicine and even food to make sure I was okay. Honestly wish I was not holed up in the room instead of enjoying the beach and the town of Paje however I would highly recommend Aluna for their service and the cute beach vibe of the room.

Great and beautiful place and very nice staff. Food is also good. It is not directly on the beach but very close walking distance (3-4 mins). The only disadvantage was that it located in a very active areas (especially during nights) which make it a bit noisy

Great stay in brand new property

This is a brand new place (2021) in great condition. Very close beach access. Swimming pool with bar/ restaurant next to it — very nice! Breakfast has everything you need (plenty of food available and many options). Room in great condition - this is a modern construction building. Staff is very friendly and caring too.

A gem of a small hotel!

We spent nine days at the Aluna Paje. We were originally only going to stay for five days, but we liked it so much, we extended our stay! While not located directly on the beach, it is located in the center of a charming local village, just a short walk to the beach. Rooms are clean and airy, with ample hot water, towels and pillows. The hotel has its own generator, so the occasional power outages are not a problem. Breakfasts are satisfying- we had avocado toast and fruit every morning. This hotel is a great value - highly recommended!
