We were led to believe it was the twin towers we were paying for, we ended up in a dark, dingy, dirty, smelly, undesirable room and building. Also bathroom towels were mismatched and face clothes looked like they were used to wash the floors, discolored and worn out. Very disappointed 😔 if you view the ad for hotel they focus on the real twin towers which is beautiful !!!! Will never go there again or recommend this property !!!

I am only giving the ocean side resort two stars. The room was nice and located close to the beach. However when I arrived, there was sand in the bed and on the sheets. When I went to the front desk to ask for my sheets to be changed. The manager said someone would do it. But no one ever came and changed them. I ended up having to take off all the blankets and use a hand towel to brush off all the sand. It was gross and I am really disappointed by the staff at the hotel. That seems unacceptable for a 5 star hotel.

I travel a lot, and I’m quite tolerant so I don’t typically submit reviews. This might be the dirtiest room I’ve ever been in - not just dust and hair (that too) but also the kind of soiling (mold, scum) which accumulates over months/years which (likely low paid) cleaners on a very tight timeline in high season can’t reasonably be expected to remedy with a quick sweep. I took photos and showed the desk but the part-owner wanted me to confront the cleaners directly because they “wouldn’t believe him”. This is inappropriate. Owners/management need to take some of the hefty high season profits and invest in deep cleaning, re-grouting, painting, etc. Proximity to the Mt ensures bookings, so they can get away with this, but it is a shame. For over $200, dated is fine, small would be fine, but dirty is never ok.

This property is old and in drastic need of renovation. The furniture is old and saggy. The location is great and the suite we upgraded to was huge. We were first given a room in the motel portion which was a long dark room, which is why we upgraded to a tower suite. A wooden picnic table and chairs was the balcony furniture? Construction is going on at the adjoining convention centre and in some of the rooms.

Very nice hotel close to the beach

We had a very pleasant stay there. For our honeymoon, we stayed for 2 days in a studio with a balcony with a view on the beach and mount Maunganui. We stayed on the top floor (3rd floor) so had the nicest view. It is just steps away from the beach and coffee and restaurant by the beach, and just steps away from the walk to mount Maunganui. The studio was very spacious with a nice king bed, and kitchenette, table to eat, nice couch and nice tv. We ate a lot on the balcony. The staff was very friendly. They provided towels for the beach. They also gave some detergent for two laundry loads, and didn't charge us for the internet. It was very nice and we would gladly be back.

At the foot of Mount Manganui, right on the summit trail and a block from an amazing beach. Easy walk to great restaurants, too. The rooms are large, staff was great, hot pool was nice and warm, pool was small but clean and refreshing, place is a little old/dated, but NO complaints.
