We are a family of 2 kids (17 and 11yo) and we enjoyed the 1-bedroom luxury suite we had. The bathroom is huge with 2 sinks, a spacious spa (we could all fit in if we wanted to). We loved the jets, lights and the music via bluetooth while relaxing in the spa. And since it was raining the whole day, we enjoyed our time together playing table tennis instead. We didn’t miss the pool not being heated at all due to bad weather. But we loved the spa and Rotorua during this travel. Will definitely...

My wife and I stayed at the Quest Rotorua in April 2017 for 12 nights in total in a studio apartment. I would have upgraded the apartment but the facility is very popular and this was the only one available.
It was a great apartment but having stayed at other Quests we have opted previously for two room suites. The studio apartment in Rotorua was 36m2 with a cooktop, dishwasher, microwave and large bathroom with laundry facilities.
Housekeeping were great and cleaned the room daily and...

Arrived here during a big winter storm. Large unit but easily heated with one heater which we had to turn off overnight because we would have overheated.
The extra facilities like minigolf and bicycles weren't any good in the pouring rain, but would help keep young kids occupied in better weather.

Loved our stay at this property - room was great with two large beds. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Facility was huge - really impressed with the indoor heated pool - loved it in there. Will definitely book into a spa treatment next trip. Recommend getting breakfast and dinner - so convenient. The restaurant has a fire which made the atmosphere really cosy. This motel was a really great choice for our family, we will definitely return. Didn’t want to leave.

We only had one night at Pacific Palms Resort Papamoa and it was very comfortable, quiet, warm and next door to a shopping plaza. It was a cosy, self contained apartment with three bedrooms, two toilets, an invigorating shower and all other facilities necessary for a longer stay. We would have liked to stay longer as the pool looked very inviting. Next time, maybe.

I stayed three nights at Bay Palm Motel and cannot fault the service or facilities. The owners were so lovely and welcoming. Room was clean, quiet and had everything I needed for my stay. It was an easy taxi ride to the Stadium where my conference was being held and a short walk to the Mall and the beach. I would definitely recommend this Motel if you are looking for somewhere out of the main centre to stay.

These welcoming hotels come in all shapes and sizes and offer a diverse array of amenities and special features you can enjoy. Whether you're looking for something romantic, like hotels with spa facilities, or are more interested in rooms better fit for a solo traveller or a group of friends, you'll find it here.

How can I find deals on Rotorua gay-friendly hotels?

Of course, booking a short distance away from prominent attractions can be an easy way to save while still being close to public transport routes that can get you to the action easily. Just keep in mind that these are general trends rather than solid rules, as prices fluctuate all the time and can be difficult to predict.
