What guests think

At Regal Palms Resort, guests consistently praise the spacious rooms with in-room spa baths and kitchenettes and the friendly service, while also noting the location is outside the center and best reached by car.

Facilities frequently highlighted include a heated pool, mini golf, tennis courts, bikes, laundry and EV charging, though the on-site restaurant is closed and occasional pool temperature or activity-area noise is mentioned. Cleanliness is widely praised, but some rooms feel dated, a few housekeeping or maintenance issues appear, and Wi-Fi reliability varies. Expect a relaxed, comfortable stay slightly out of town.

Don’t let the name fool you — it’s a motel. It’s marketed well and the photos show rooms in excellent condition. In reality, our room was quite dated and pretty dirty. The carpeted floors at the edges were frayed and the bathroom shower had grime caked into the shower head and in the corners. I would not recommend it.

Rooms have a mini kitchen with a microwave and plates/cups. Grounds are very modest but clean. Definitely has more a mid range hotel look vs a resort look.

Our room was close to the 'entertainment' area, where the pool, mini golf, etc. are located. So it was quite noisy outside of our room, some days until past 9pm. We were normally at our room past 5-6pm. We were quite tired from hikes and this was not ideal for us as we needed quiet to rest and sleep. Air conditioning was pretty decent. We weren't able to turn on the washroom lights without triggering the fan which in turn was bringing in the sulphur smell from the outside (common in Rotorua). We ended up not using the lights in the washrooms to prevent that. The WIFI was pretty much unusable! We told them; nothing they could do about it at the time. So be warned it's very bad. The room cleanness of the room was average I'd say. Things in the room look pretty old/used. Overall, very average motel. Nothing special or fancy. We didn't think this place was worth the money we paid for.

The room make up times were quite random. The first night our room was made up while we were out but the second night it wasn’t. Unfortunately the second night my son needed new bedding and after we’d been out all day the room hadn’t been checked as it was the day before so I tracked down the cleaners and asked for fresh bedding but she just changed the mattress protector and left the bedding thrown on the chair. I had to go and find another staff member to make up his bed. Not sure why the first person didn’t just complete the job.

There is a nice pool and lots of other amenities. It’s a bit out of town so a car is useful but we liked the location and walked to town and parks etc. Highly recommend.

My wife and I recently stayed at Regal Palms Resort in Rotorua. While the resort shows its age, we found our room to be spacious, well-equipped, and comfortable—a perfect retreat after a day of exploring. One of the highlights was the small private courtyard complete with a table and chairs, offering a delightful spot to enjoy a quiet morning or evening. It was a pity that the on-site restaurant wasn’t operational during our visit, but this wasn’t a major issue since most guests, including ourselves, prefer dining in town where there are plenty of great options. The pool, though modest in size and located in the middle of the car park, was clean and perfectly usable for a refreshing dip. We didn’t have a chance to use the tennis court, but it appeared to be well-maintained. Overall, Regal Palms is a solid choice for anyone looking for a comfortable room or suite just outside the town centre, offering a relaxed environment and good value for money.
