What guests think

Across many reviews, guests praise the beachfront setting and views at Ramada Resort by Wyndham Reia Taipa Beach, noting spacious units with kitchenettes, while recurring drawbacks include dated furnishings, stained carpets, occasional noise between rooms, and maintenance issues with facilities.

Staff are widely described as friendly and helpful, though guests report occasional slow check in, limited reception hours, and inconsistent housekeeping. On-site dining earns both praise for tasty breakfasts and meals and criticism for underwhelming dishes, poor vegetarian options, early bar closure, and inconsistent coffee. Overall, it suits travelers who prioritize scenery and beach access over flawless finish.

Across the road from Taipa beach, spacious one bedroom unit with small kitchen area (no oven). Nice grounds with tennis court, pool and bbq area. Close to Mangonui, Cable Bay and Karikari Peninsula. Cable Bay Store is a great place to have a snack or a meal. Room recommendations - next time I would choose a pool view room rather than ocean view. These rooms are more private. Ocean view rooms look over the road which separates the resort from the beach.

Having stayed here 5 or so years ago we found it lovely so thought we would come back and stay and extremely pleased we did. People and service was great, room very comfortable and spacious and enjoyed the private spa pool very much. Value for money and highly recommended.

A nice, clean motel, next to a quiet, beautiful beach. Good WiFi Internet. The hot tub was nice to have, but not hot enough. The bar's closing time (8pm on a Saturday) was too early (though the same was true for the nearby Taipa Tavern)

Beautiful setting and rooms were very clean and spacious. Food wise, would definitely recommend the steak and garlic pizza bread! Staff were very welcoming, helpful and friendly! Second night, was a bit of a downer in the restaurant, we were told they were fully booked at that time, but we weren't advised of a better time. But we got to sample the take aways, so no loss really. Acoustic wise, unless you close the door leading the corridor, it can be vwry noisy and echoy into your room. We got woken up by someone's flatulence and their party finding it extremely hillarious. But once that door is shut, you are in your own heaven. Great tv/channel options too. Heat pump in every room, that was highly appreciated!

Loved our stay at the Taipa Resort. The position of the resort right across from the beautiful Taipa Beach is just awesome. We had a beach front unit and so woke up every morning to the most gorgeous view and went to sleep listening to the waves. Magic!! The only criticism I have is that the carpet was badly stained, there were lots of marks on the walls and curtains badly needed replacing. Get these things up to scratch and then I would highly recommend the resort as a place to stay

Fine for a couple of days. Well-equipped, beach view room was clean but “tired”, as was the hotel in general. Staff all courteous and helpful. Let down by the restaurant, in terms of food quality (“cooked” breakfast was tepid on second day: needed longer in the microwave!), comfort and ambience. At times it felt like eating at a rugby match, thanks to extremely noisy, largely male party of 10 trying to out-shout each other.

We did not feel comfortable at the Taipa Beach Resort. The restaurant was okay, the food was delicious. But the room was unclean, the trashcan was full when we arrived. The carpet and the curtains looked like a map. Lots of stains so we did not want to go out without shoes or wanted to close the curtains. And last but not least we caught a cockroach. Although the staff was very nice, we cannot recommend the resort.

The room was very spacious but carpet was very stained in many areas, couch and chair were not very comfortable and the king size bed mattress was very very uncomfortable resulting in us leaving a day early. The mattress needs to be replaced. And when we went to the bar for a pre dinner cocktail, the ice machine wasn't working to they weren't able to serve cocktails at all.

The property is in an excellent location, directly opposite the beach. It is modern and well appointed. But soundproofing leaves much to be desired - my wife was kept awake until 1.30am by the tv and loud talking in the next room. This was not helped by there being a connecting door between the apartments, which is always a problem for sound. Check there is no door to the next apartment in your room when making a booking. Also, the vegetarian option in the restaurant was half a cauliflower. I had thought restaurants had got past such poor offerings for non-meat eaters, but evidently not.

Great potential. Was trying out to see if I could use this as a fortnightly stay with business trips but I fortunately my room had an insect infestation the first night and that was off putting, I stayed awake for the whole night as these insects were all over my luggage, floor, bed, in my clothes. The hotel explained they accidentally left a hallway door open and it caused them to crawl under my front door I was extremely uncomfortable after that experience. On my last morning before checkout I had a cleaner come knock on my door 4 times telling me it’s nearly check out time that was annoying and when I opened the door all I could smell was cigarettes when she was talking. If I get a response that these issues have been resolved I may consider using this for future business travel.
