My son and myself stayed at the Regal Palms for 4 nights and it was absolutely terrific. I wanted something family friendly that had a kitchenette for making snacks/breakfast/light meals and entertainment for when we weren't out exploring. Regal Palms delivered! While the resort does have a slightly dated motel vibe- it's exceptionally clean and well presented. The luxury studio is modern inside and the heated floors in the bathroom were a nice surprise. The bed is very comfortable and on the firmer side which is what I prefer. Daily housekeeping meant we returned to a refreshed room each afternoon which was lovely. We didn't use the pool during our stay, but got great use out of the tennis court, mini golf and table tennis facilities. Location is not in the centre of town, which I knew before booking- I opted for facilities rather than location. Its probably a 15-20min walk, though we went with ubers/taxis out of convenience... there is a bus stop nearby as well. All of the staff were lovely and very helpful. We will definitely stay again if we return to Rotorua.

    “Famtastic stay. Couldnt really fault it. Stayed for our anniversary. The room was clean cozy and exactly what we needed the spa bath was a plessing on a very cold windy day. Will absolutely stay again. Having a park straight out side the door was fantastic. Staff were so helpful and lovly made the stay so easy and stress free.”
