Hilton Lake Taupo

10/10 Excellent
"**Excellent Stay – Highly Recommend!** My family stayed at the Hilton Lake Taupo over the weekend and had a wonderful experience. Overall, an excellent hotel with lovely facilities and a comfortable, relaxing atmosphere. A few amenities around the pool area, including the sauna, were unfortunately not operational during our stay, but this did not detract significantly from our overall experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend the hotel to others. We would certainly stay again!"
