Hilton Lake Taupo

8/10 Good

"Great spot view was amazing and bed very comfortable, but many things in the heritage side need maintaining. Electrical crackling near the bed. Some lights didn't work. The shower head was split and leaking touch points were old and worn (toilet flush button etc) A note, some rooms say tub or shower. Not necessarily both. Last time we stayed here I think we got the best room they had. This time was supposed to be deluxe but was just ok. Staff were great though."

The Reef Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Thank you for such a wonderful stay. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and well looked after. The reef resort is beautifully maintained, with a peaceful atmosphere that made it the perfect place to relax. Our room was spotless, spacious, and incredibly comfortable. We especially appreciated how warm and cosy it was during the winter weather, making it a lovely retreat after spending time outdoors. The front staff was friendly, attentive, and always happy to help. Thank you for your excellent hospitality. We had a fantastic experience and would happily recommend the reef resort to family and friends. We look forward to returning for another stay in the future."
