From Polynesian Spa Rotorua - Pavilion Pools
Thanks for visiting and hopefully you got some great healing benefits from the Rachel Alkaline spring and the Priest Acidic springs on out site. One treats joints and muscles and the other treats skin.

Beautiful pools
This was fantastic with 7 or 8 pools to choose from . The views were lovely looking over the lake. The temperature varied a bit in each pool. We had a lovely relaxing time until the emergency alarm went off and everyone had to leave the center to check on the problem - after 20 mins we could all go back .
From Polynesian Spa Rotorua - Pavilion Pools
Sorry about that. Unfortunately these things happen (not very often thankfully!) Hopefully the rest of your soak was great and you managed to relax and rejuvenate. Great pic of the historic pools and Priest Spring source, thanks for sharing.

A very pleasant location overlooking the lake at Rotorua. A great way to spend a morning relaxing!

Wouldn't recommend
Definitely not a highlight, seemed more like a tourist trap. Changing rooms and bathrooms were completely outdated and dirty. Wouldn't go again.
From Polynesian Spa Rotorua - Pavilion Pools
Our facilities are regularly cleaned and maintained throughout the day, so it’s disappointing to hear your visit left a different impression. While parts of the site reflect the historic nature of Polynesian Spa, we also continue to invest in ongoing upgrades and maintenance across the complex, bathrooms included. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and will take your comments on board.

Great!
We had a lovely time at the Pavilion Pools, Rotorou - lots of options, lovely environment, and not busy on the Monday morning we went. Would recommend.
From Polynesian Spa Rotorua - Pavilion Pools
Thanks for the recommendation and 5 star review. We'd love to see you back for another relaxing hot soak.
