Sad first impressions

A slightly diffident reception and concerning when our booking could not be found- something I haven’t experienced through hotels.com- especially when I showed my paper printout indicating Mountain View and twin beds. But the receptionist said she would do us a favor and upgrade us to what we had already booked 3 months ago as if this would make me more grateful! Sadly on opening the fridge there was the dregs of milk left over from the previous occupants and also the tea caddy was empty- I had to embarrassingly ask for these things. All these first impressions are important and I had difficulty after that to like this iconic place.

The view was breathtaking . I did not like the food prices of the restaurant. This is like mooching people because they have no option to go anywhere else to eat. If we knew that it is going to be that expensive we would have carried our own food. Staff was good.

Best hot spring !!

Hotel facility is a bit out dated and heater is not enough for winter evening. Hotel staff provided a fan heater after I informed them twice that the room is not warm enough. The hot spring is definitely a hit! Best hot spring in New Zealand I would say! A must try for sure!

Tranquil place to relax....

This place was outstanding! Took a while to get there. It suddenly appeared in a gap in the trees and pulled up. Was treated to delicious meals served by friendly multicultural staff. The hot springs pools were divine with the tranquil river flowing by at the edge of the property. Thoroughly recommended 😀

Beautiful setting, unique environment. Place has upgraded considerably since last visited. Concept is great. Enjoyed breakfast, pools lovely. However service very mixed. Check in was lots of negatives. For a ‘health’ resort, don’t turn up here with genuine health issues. There was no bending of the rules as they were too busy. Some staff were very accommodating thankfully, but for what is supposed to be a place to get away from it all and replenish yourself, we felt very much a number. Dinner ran out of half the options so was very limited. While I appreciate the location provides challenges, there is nothing more disappointing than paying for something and getting barely enough. Just felt for the cost to stay and eat here, remembering we all came here for a special experience would be nice.

The room was good except one of the beds was broken and uncomfortable. (The slats underneath had fallen out and the bed sagged) Pools and linked facilities were very enjoyable and relaxing but the restaurant was confusing. Other than an expensive 5 course meal option there was only an option of platters - of which they only had 2 of 4 available. These too were very expensive and not a proper meal. Morning breakfast was good but there were no cheaper options ($25 per head plus extra for tea.) Overall the experience was enjoyable with the exception of food choices and availablity.

Obviously, the draw is the hot springs. Dinner and breakfast were very good. Only drawback is you have to pay extra for wi fi, which we didn’t know until we arrived.

Beautiful but peace spoiled by noisy guests

Our previous experience with Spas have been in placed where silence is part of the experience. If this is what you are looking for, Maruia Hot Springs might not be the good place for you. The people in the rooms around us were young and speaking very loud, playing music, laughing pretty late at night. We made a few complain at reception. The reception closes at 9:30 so after that we were on our own after reception is closed to ask our neighbours to be quiet. The guy who greeted us at the reception seemed very stressed and overwhelmed by gis tasks. We loved the experience of the bath and our room was very comfortable, however the experience would have been more enjoyable and a better value for money if there were some rules about noise.

A nice place that just missed the mark

Nice place that just missed the mark to be excellent. Service and rooms are nice, but a few small things would put this place at top marks. The shower head in the room sit late at about 5ft making it almost impossible to shower for anyone over 4ft 5in, this is a cheap and easy fix without re-plumbing. Paths to pools have sharp rocks not good for bare feet. For the price of the room, the could provide sandals or have them for rent. It’s billed as a “connection free” place with no TV or Wifi. However, if you want WiFi if cost an arm and a leg($50 for 500MB). They need to provide a recommendation on how to clean swimwear. The high sulfur content of the pools almost ruined my bathing suit(took 5 washes to get the smell out).
