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.

This was a very spacious condo with a full living area and kitchen. My children flipped over the fancy Jacuzzi and we all enjoyed the various amenities, like heated floors and towels. It was very conveniently located and we could get to all of the activities we had planned in the area in a matter of minutes. Oh, and the area outside the rooms was an enclosed porch area with comfortable outdoor furniture, which we all enjoyed. Highly recommend!
