Never again
Over $200 a night for a room with worn out carpet and that only gets made up every 2 days. We avoided the $50 each breakfast as we've never even been charged that in genuine 5-star hotels (this rates a 3-star maximum, regardless of what they claim). The golf course and tennis courts are closed, so not much of a resort. There are far better hotels in Taupo.

Nice comfortable and clean room. Staff were friendly and the check-in and check out were easy and quick. Pool was great and there is a secure room for bike storage. We ate in Taupo so cant comment on the food.

The facility was underwhelming. The title “Resort” is stretching the imagination. The place needs allot of work. Half the amenities are not available on the property. The staff seem good and the food was very good at the restaurants.
