JetPark Hotel Rotorua
We were very happy with the JetPark Hotel in Rotorua. Our room was spacious, modern, and. clean. The personnel were efficient and friendly. The continental buffet was fine and made for a good start to our days. We would gladly stay there again.

Rydges Rotorua
Reception could improve customer relations, buffet was over priced. Room was clean and spacious. Hotel was quiet at night. Would be nice for pool to stay open later.

Sudima Lake Rotorua
Felt that for the price the room was very dated, and an extremely soft bed didn't allow a good sleep. Breakfast was nice.
