The staff at VR Rotorua Lake Resort were fantastic! They were super friendly and helpful, making me feel welcomed from the moment I arrived. It's a quiet spot on the lake, perfect for a romantic getaway, but be warned, it's a bit far from the main drag in Rotorua.
The hotel itself is getting a bit long in the tooth. The rooms and bathrooms could definitely use a refresh, especially the showers. I had to do the hot cold dance every time I wanted to take a shower! Plus, for the price, you might find nicer places closer to the action.
Overall, VR Rotorua had its pros and cons. If you're looking for a peaceful escape with awesome staff, it's a good choice. But if you want modern amenities and easy access to Rotorua's sights, you might want to keep searching.
Here are some of the things I liked:
Super friendly staff
Peaceful location on the lake
Nice outdoor pool
Here are some things to keep in mind:
Rooms and bathrooms are a bit outdated
Far from the city center and main attractions
Price might be a bit high for the current condition
