Top Taupō Hotel Reviews

Taupo Thermal Motel & Spa - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Great spot and amazing spas"

Quality Inn Acapulco Taupo

10/10 Excellent

"Truly, for the cost this is an unbeatable place to stay. The staff all were lovely and helpful, the space I had (king studio with whirlpool) was spacious and had everything needed for a long stay! It may be dated in a few ways but you have everything you need including a kitchenette with a stove, milk for coffee, a refrigerator, space for eating, luggage storage space, large bathrooms and a cute yard in the back. For staying 3 days it was perfect. I loved adding in the breakfast buffet and the staff worked hard to keep food out and tables clean. I am a bit noise sensitive and the only item I had trouble with was noise from the windows in the AM, the rooms themselves are noise protected. Great stay & staff! "

Taupo DeBretts Spa Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We love visiting these spa pools every time we visit Taupo. So staying at the resort was an easy choice. Easy check in and out, quick walk to the pools and back. Room is clean, wifi's good. Enough space to park directly outside of the room. We've also stayed at the Hilton next door which has a fab pool. This is a great alternative if you want to save a it of cash. "
