We arrived at Regal Palms Resort before check in time. We were able to leave our bags with staff at the front desk in a safe and convenient location. The front desk staff was excellent. Our room was spacious, clean and equipped with a small kitchen with tea and coffee available in the room. The room had a private outdoor patio. The air conditioning worked well and as also heated bathroom as needed. The cleaning staff was efficient, fast and friendly. Our room was cleaned to perfection each morning. We made use of the on site laundry and the pool. We loved the convenient location and hassle free parking. We wish our vacation would not end!

Great place to stay with lots of included activities available on site - tennis, mini golf, table tennis, petanque, pool. They also have mountain bikes available for guest - I'm not sure if there is a charge for these. We brought our own mountain bikes and they were able to store them for us in their shed whilst we did other things about town which was great. The rooms themselves were spotless, large and the bed was super comfy. Everything you needed was there with the little kitchenette and it was well presented. Bonus having your own spa bath in the large bathroom. Staff were very nice and friendly. Highly recommend this place and will definitely be our go to spot to stay in Rotorua when we return.

Liked: Staff & service
The staff were very friendly. Rooms were dated in terms of the interior. The hot tub / bath was a nice addition though. Outdoor terrace was underwhelming. The tennis court was very nice!! I did feel charging $80 per each hour of delayed checkout was a bit steep given the hotel was very quiet. The pool needed for sun loungers instead of chairs
