What great value for money. A little drab inside but loads of quality towels supplied daily and high quality linen. Great facilities to keep kids entertained
Clean suite, super comfy beds and fluffy towels. Great facilities the kids loved the pool, mini golf and table tennis. Great location for easy access to all the sights and activities plus supermarket. Would definitely come back. Thanks
Slightly dated rooms but very well presented. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Loved using the tennis court and pool.
Thank you so much for a lovely stay.
Room was really clean and well presented, the spa bath is super clean and very easy to use a great way to relax after being out exploring the Forest.
Would highly recommend staying for a couple weekend away or as a family lots to do.
We stay two nights. The front desk provided good suggestion to visit the parks in the city.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Gracious receptionist. Fantastic room with all the amenities. Bed comfort is excellent. Bonus is a large jacuzzi in the bathroom. Everything was absolutely perfect!
Large comfortable clean rooms, well stocked kitchenette with everything you need. Huge bathroom. Nice place for the price and would certainly stay there again.
We couldn't be happier with our choice to stay at Regal Palms for our time in Rotorua. The staff is about the friendliest we have encountered anywhere in the world. The hotel is clean and they offer some fun activities for families. My wife and I squeezed in a couple of rounds of mini golf during some down time. The hotel is within walking distance of Whakarewarewa and it's not much further from there to Te Puia. We spent an evening at the Polynesian Spa and got a discount when we told them we were staying at Regal Palms. It's not enough that New Zealand is one of the most beautiful places on earth, so they go ahead and fill it with beautiful people.
