We were given keys to 908 but our room was 605. We were not told about the lights and the key 2 staff were fantastic the rest were below average. Trainee checkin guy should have had a supervisor with him to ensure details were provided correctly

We stayed for 8 nights in January in Room 915 on the top floor. Our room had a king bed with the adjacent suite/sitting room. The sitting room came in handy when we brought food back to the room, so we had a place to sit and eat. Overall the stay was fantastic. Check-in was fast, parking was close, and the staff friendly. The heated lap pool and heated spas were nice and hardly used by anyone else. The tennis courts and golf course were closed the entire time, so if you were hoping to use these you were out of luck. The breakfast buffet the hotel offered for $46 NZ ($27 US) seemed to be way overpriced, but with the suite we had a large refrigerator and purchased food items for breakfast and snacks. There's a BP gas station & convenience store practically across the street which come in handy as well. The downside to the resort are the carpets, both in the rooms as well as the hallways. They're extremely worn and need to be replaced. Another downside is maid service. I'm not sure what the policy is, but they changed the linens once in the 8 days and never came in for anything else. We had to bring our trash to a dumpster every few days. Other than those two small complaints we'd recommend staying here. It's convenient to many attractions, the town of Taupo, and It fit our needs perfectly.

Property location great, nice and quiet. Probably time for some paint though. Black marks on shower tiles, walls showing wear and tear. Just needs a good freshen up

Good for travellers or holiday makers. Room was comfortable and spotlessly clean. Great reception welcome and check out. Had a full breakfast everything was hot and fresh. Pool was not that warm but good all the same. Overall condition of buildings and grounds good. Its not as resort like as I was hoping, but I had a great sleep.

This is a regular resort that we have previously stayed at. The hallways look very tired - with threadbare carpets. Our bathroom had mould around the bath. We had arrived with a full fridge full of food for an ongoing camping trip - we put everything in the room fridge only to find the next morning the fridge wasn't working and all food was ruined. A very expensive outcome for us so a disappointing trip. The menu in the bar was very expensive - it never used to be that high - over $40 for a curry. It is a nice resort with pretty grounds and the pool areas are good. But the place certainly needs an update.
