Moment de détente au bord du lac

Endroit très agréable en fin de journée pour se détendre. Espace confortable. Certains bains ne sont pas très propre et il manque peut-être une version plus fraîche pour se rafraîchir entre 2 bains très chauds

From Polynesian Spa Rotorua - Pavilion Pools

Thank you for visiting and for taking the time to share your feedback. The lakeside setting is a lovely place to unwind in the evening. For guests looking to cool down between hotter pools, an outdoor cold shower is available in the pool area, and our team is always happy to point this out during a visit. We appreciate your comments and hope there is another opportunity to welcome you back.

Plusieurs piscines sont à disposition, entre 38 et 41°C, avec différentes vues. Après 20h c’est assez calme, j’ai adoré !

Thank you for visiting Polynesian Spa and sharing your experience. Evenings are a beautiful time to unwind by the lake, and we’re glad you enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and variety of pools.

Un peu déçue

Je m'attendais a plus d'infrastructures et de propreté pour un spa a un prix comme cela. Seulement des basin d'eau thermal pas très propre avec des températures ne variants pas trop. Plusieurs type d'eau thermal y sont proposé donc sympa quand même

From Polynesian Spa Rotorua - Pavilion Pools

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. We’re sorry to hear your visit didn’t quite meet expectations. Our Pavilion Pools focus on offering a natural geothermal experience that promotes relaxation and connection with Rotorua’s unique environment. While we maintain the eight Pavilion pools carefully, the mineral-rich waters and natural setting create a different atmosphere than a typical spa. There are other areas here at Polynesian Spa you might like to combine with your next visit for a broader experience, like our Deluxe Lake Spa or a Lake View Private Pool. We appreciate your feedback and continue working to ensure every guest enjoys the calm and restorative qualities that make Polynesian Spa special.

Intéressant mais l'eau était douteuse

L'eau était remplie de petites particules qui flottent comme de la peau desquamee ... bizarre et ça donne pas envie. A voir si c'est nettoyé régulièrement et hygiénique vu le nombre de touristes...

From Polynesian Spa Rotorua - Pavilion Pools

Thanks for your review. Our mineral pools are emptied every single night, every pool (27 of them) except for one pool which is chlorinated in the family pool area. The mineral particles in the water are from the ground. It is geothermal water and has suspended minerals in it, this is not skin, There are signs all around the complex to explain this. The acidic Priest spring often has suspended sulphates which are visible, whereas the alkaline spring water can appear milky depending on weather and atmospheric conditions. If you looked over the fence at the old preserved historic pools when you visited you would have seen the geothermal water bubbling up from the ground and it looks exactly like the water in the pools. During the day, the pools are refilled due to water overflowing the sides from people entering and new fresh mineral water being added to keep to advertised temperatures. This is checked with sophisticated equipment and backed up by manual procedure. Please be assured our complex is hygienically cleaned regularly to keep it safe for all our valued guests.
