★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 154 reviews · from $31

Review of Polynesian Spa Rotorua’s Pavilion hot pools, with lake views, mineral baths, practical tips, pricing, and honest drawbacks.

“It was a great experience, the view is amazing, the atmosphere is very respectful and calm, and everything seemed clean / hygienic, despite the fact that you’re sharing hot pools with strangers. I do believe there should be a mandatory pre shower before you enter the pools, but other than that all great! Felt very relaxing!”
