Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Regal Palms isn’t a “resort” but IS a very clean & comfortable motel. My room even had a jacuzzi tub IN THE BEDROOM!!! They also had mini-golf, a nice pool, and fast WiFi. But the room’s courtyard resembled a tiny penitentiary exercise yard—10-foot tall walls and a single lonely shrub!

From the road it looks - well - American. Like you expect a motel to be - the rooms open directly on to the car park. But the standard of accommodation is very high. The rooms have kitchenettes and self catering is entirely possible and welcome in Rotorua which has row upon row of pizza restaurants, craft beer bars, noodle places - of which you get heartily sick after a few days on the road. Swimming pool is very welcome too on a hot day.

We had pre-booked a different place but upon inspection decided not to stay there so went on a trip advisor hunt for an alternative. The Regal Palms came up with our dates and a fantastic rate. We drove there and were told those rooms were gone but Luxury suites available so a bit of a bait and switch and who knows whose at fault for that. That said … I really like this place. It reminds me of the higher end motels we used to stay in as a kid on road trips across the country. Heated, clean swimming pool, check. Well maintained mini golf course. Check. Outdoor barbecues with plenty of seating in clean areas. Check. Single, well tended tennis court Check. Table tennis. Check. Big spacious room with gargantua bathroom spa. King bed. Several density pillows to choose from. Fridge, two burner stove, microwave, hotpot, coffee maker. The only thing it lacks are breakfast restaurant and magic fingers bed (waaaaaaay back throw) Clean.

We stayed at Regal Palm Resort Rotorua in Dec 2023, and my daughter left behind her valuables at the hotel after checking out. I would like to sincerely thank Raylene Corebett, Sanam and Michelle for helping us to retrieve the item! We had an enjoyable stay and the staff members are honest and super helpful! Would highly recommend to friends! Thank you!

We stayed two nights at the motel. We have stayed here previously and always found the room clean and comfortable. We own an electric car and we were able to charge it there free of charge as well ,which is another bonus.the motel is secure and very well run

We have stayed in the executive area before and it still has the high standard. The linen is exceptional, the fittings and furniture lovely the whole experience perfect for a nice get away in Rotorua. It is a shame that the restaurant and Bar is closed as we would have loved to have stayed at the resort to dine. The pool also was not heated as it was last time we where there and was too cold to swim. over all a great stay highly recommend.

10/10 highly recommend - booked a studio room & it was very spacious and clean . The kitchen area had everything we needed if we wanted to make our own food and the spa bath was great. We also had to check in quite late and the reception left our key out for us with a map to show us how to get to our room. Heated outdoor pool , tennis court , mini golf & BBQ area outside . We will definitely be back again 🧡

This is a solid place to stay in Rotorua…not the fanciest place, but clean and a good value. However, it wasn’t the hotel itself that inspired me to write a review…instead, it was Tim at reception. He was so helpful and kind when our flight was suddenly and unexpectedly canceled. He helped us quickly figure out how to completely change our plans. With no rental cars or Ubers available, he found a taxi driver who was willing to drive us all the way to Hamilton (90 minutes away) to fly out from there. Tim helped make an annoying situation so much easier for us.

Check-in was fast. The reception team were friendly and welcoming. We had 3 Superior Suites. They were immaculate and well laid out with good sound proofing. The spa was huge and the shower was equally large. Great facilities including a warm pool, mini golf and a gym. Plenty of car parking and a 5 min drive or an easy 30 min walk to the centre. Will definitely stay again.
