Staff was excellent, mattress was uncomfortable its pass its expiration. Shower is rusty and lack of pressure. The most important thing a guest needs is sleep/rest that definitely didn't happen during our stay.

The main building, reception and restaurant were very appealing. The meal in the restaurant was excellent. Our room was comfortable and clean. The rest of the resort was run down. The pool was clean but the surrounding garden was overgrown, and the gazebo was in disrepair. The spa room was not available. The laundry was ok. Parking was convenient, in front of our room. I would class this place more as just a motel, rather than a 'resort'.

No sorry room was not spotless two empty bottles under bed, the safety drain was completely blocked with fluff and debris I was quite shocked the whole complex need some love and attention to details eg wooden handrails on steps need repair showing rotting wood , lots of a good clean up needed on outside eg a good water blasting on steps paintwork ect poor place was looking tied and in un loved state sorry to say As there is so much competition in Taupo they need to up there game Windows on back wall facing very over grown hedge moss on windows, gardens just need he attention to detail . Yes I was hotel manager for many years these thing are equally important as the lovely front of house personal Which I might add were very helpful friendly personal I absolutely hate doing this but I hate to see businesses go down hill by lazy staff or management

Of all our stays in New zealand this was very poor Shower had black mold growing on a large portion of grout, and shower door, water temps went from scalding hot to icy cold. During the night there was a leakage of water? into the contents of my suitcase requiring washing & drying of all affected contents.also my brand new expensive jacket now has stains in in from the leakage Television required repairing in our room while we were in room. skylights in covered check-in area were covered in heavy black mold . staff was pleasant and friendly especially Mabel i’m sorry i cannot recommend this hotel for the overall conditions signed Greg lepping
