Soak up the soothing healing benefits of a Deluxe Lake Spa at Rotorua Polynesian Spa...
Thank you for your 5-star review! We look forward to welcoming you back.
Our family keeps coming back to Polynesian Spa because it’s one of our favourite places. It’s always so relaxing and soothing, we never get tired of it!
Thank you for continuing to make Polynesian Spa part of your family time in Rotorua. There’s something special about returning to the geothermal mineral waters and familiar lake setting, and we really appreciate your ongoing support. We look forward to welcoming you back again.
My adult daughter and I had a wonderful evening at the Polynesian Spa on Friday night. We were delighted that there were not many people there, plenty of room and choices of rock pools to choose from. So clean and serene. Loved that towels and showering facilities included. I thought we would get bored and spend no more than an hour but it was so relaxing and good we were there closer to 2hours (would have stayed longer if I hadn’t wanted to get to the shops). We wish we had brought an exfoliating cloth to use in the showers afterwards to complete the benefits of the experience. Looking forward to going again next time we visit Rotorua.
Thank you for the lovely review. It sounds like you both made the most of a peaceful evening, with plenty of time to enjoy the pools and unwind. We look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit to Rotorua.
The facility is beautiful! BUT! We arrived at 9:30 PM, thinking the facility closed at 11:00 PM, which would give us nearly 1.5 hours to enjoy. We were informed that pool use needed to stop by 10:45 PM, which was fine since we’d need time to shower anyway. However, at 10:00 PM, we were suddenly told we had only 30 minutes left. As a result, we barely spent 40 minutes in the pool and spent the whole time worrying about the clock. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience.
Hi Tanya. Thank you for your feedback. We close at 11pm which means everyone needs to be showered, dressed and on their way out by then. We start our evening pool emptying and cleaning procedures at 11pm when our night maintenance crew comes on. You should have only been asked to vacate the pools and proceed to the changing rooms at 10:40/10:45 pm though which would have given you an extra 10 minutes. We will certainly bring this up to our pool management team. We are sorry to see that this made became anxious around time instead of enjoying your soak. Hopefully you can return for a really long soak and come visit us earlier in the day.
A very relaxing experience - worked out well to visit after 7:30pm. Really enjoyed the heated loungers and the variety of pools. Would have been great to go during the day if you want to see the lake as well. Highly recommended!
Thank you for the lovely review and recommendation. Evening visits have their own special atmosphere, and the heated loungers are a great way to unwind between pools. We hope you can return for a daytime visit to enjoy the lake views too.
