Thank you for visiting with your family. It’s great to hear you all enjoyed the Family Pools and found them a perfect fit for both adults and little ones. We hope to welcome you again for another relaxing day together.

Fantastic Pools
Had a wonderful time here, my 3 year old granddaughter loved the slide, and we all loved the hot mineral pools. Our bodies and skin felt so good after our time spent here. There is something for everyone, and it is spotlessly clean. Highly recommended.
From Polynesian Spa - Family Pools
Thank you for bringing your family to visit. It’s so lovely to know everyone enjoyed the pools, especially your granddaughter on the slide. We appreciate your kind recommendation.

Not good
Not very enjoyable. Lots of restrictions.
From Polynesian Spa - Family Pools
Dear Chaitanya, thank you for both your Google and Bookme reviews. The guidelines in our Family Pools are in place to keep everyone safe, especially children, and to ensure the area remains enjoyable for all families. We appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback across both platforms.

Family pools area is extremely underwhelming
The family pools area is really small and sadly not worth the expense. There is nothing for kids to play with other than the very average/slow slide. Our kids lost interest and wanted to leave in less than 20 mins of arriving and they love swimming pools. Unfortunately, we would not return to the family area next time we are in Rotorua.
From Polynesian Spa - Family Pools
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. The Family Pools are located within a heritage-protected area and include the original men’s swimming pool from the late 1800s, which forms an important part of the site’s history. Because of this heritage status, the area is carefully preserved and designed as a geothermal soaking and swimming space rather than a waterpark-style attraction. Children are welcome to bring their own swim toys to use in the pools, which many families find adds to their visit.

We enjoyed the family pools as it catered to the adults and our 7 year old.
