Loved our stay at the Taipa Resort. The position of the resort right across from the beautiful Taipa Beach is just awesome. We had a beach front unit and so woke up every morning to the most gorgeous view and went to sleep listening to the waves. Magic!! The only criticism I have is that the carpet was badly stained, there were lots of marks on the walls and curtains badly needed replacing. Get these things up to scratch and then I would highly recommend the resort as a place to stay

Stunning views. The staff couldn’t have been friendlier or more accommodating and the room was filled with everything you would need for food prep and amenities. The on premises restaurant was lovely for Ala carte breakfast and coffees. Would definitely stay here again.

Reviews are wildly divergent for this place. After being here, I begin to understand. It’s a lot about what you prioritize. Reception area and hallways have all the charm of a church retreat center (although actual rooms were much better). Quality of room cleaning varied by the day. Carpet was clean and vacuumed, but showed some wear. BUT… location makes up for a LOT. Rooms open out onto the beach and you can hear the surf. They are spacious and well-appointed. It’s relaxing and scenic. Food in restaurant is not special, but everything is pretty good and you can eat outside facing the ocean. It’s not luxurious… but it’s right on the water, and you can swim at the really sweet beach right out your door. Staff is friendly and helpful. I thought it was great.

A nice, clean motel, next to a quiet, beautiful beach. Good WiFi Internet. The hot tub was nice to have, but not hot enough. The bar's closing time (8pm on a Saturday) was too early (though the same was true for the nearby Taipa Tavern)

Lovely place and really relaxing with amazing views. One of my bookings was not apparently visible so lucky we were able to get in as had come a long way. Rooms were immaculately clean apart from the lounge suite and chairs which looked to be overdue for a good clean.

We thoroughly enjoyed our two day break. The resort was the cleanest we have ever stayed in and every single staff member from reception to restaurant to house keeping were super friendly...it certainly makes a difference and that's why we enjoyed it so much. The weather was atrocious but we can imagine on a beautiful day Taipa Bay Resort would be paradise.

Staff were not to friendly and very blunt. Locals run their cars up and down the beach side road doing skids and burn outs at 2 am. One staff member asked us to move our car in to the car park and questioned if we were actually staying the night at the hotel in the room after indeed calling the room and confirming my name the name the room was booked under and was very rude over the phone. The restaurant is expensive and the lamb shank was reheated and dry to eat. Very average meals. The takeaways shop was better. The each was lovely.
Response from Courtney on 30 Jan,2023
Kia ora EmilyThank you for taking the time to leave us a review.It is disappointing to hear that your experience with us was not a great one. We ask that guests park in our secure carpark opposed to out the front of their room as it blocks the beach view for other guests. We want our guests to enjoy their view as much as they can while they are here. In saying that, we do not condone rude behavior by our staff and this matter will be addressed.We are sorry that you were disturbed by irresponsible drivers. Although, this does not tend to be an ongoing issue for us, it certainly wouldn't be nice to deal with when you are on holiday, trying to relax. I have passed your feedback regarding the lamb shank you ordered onto our kitchen team. We appreciate your feedback as it allows us the opportunity to work on any issues that may need to be addressed.Nga mihiCourtney

Beautiful beach location and nice facilities. A bit odd that when going to dining room at 6:08 pm I was told to go back to room to order room service as the wait staff was needed to cater to tour groups. Fair enough, but then same wait staff delivered room service??? My room was next to restaurant and there were loads of open, extra tables. Open from 5-8 says all the signage and literature.

We stayed in the superior poolside studio and this was perfect. The hotel itself is a little outdated but the rooms are lovely and clean and have everything you need. Close to the beach and super relaxing. Dining options are limited in the area so having a full kitchen was great too! Will definitely be staying again!
