Palm Pacific Resort & Motel 4 stars

Whangamata

Just 8 minutes’ walk from Whangamata Beach, Palm Pacific Resort & Motel boasts an outdoor pool, a hot tub and a tennis court. It offers accommodation with free WiFi and a private patio overlooking the gardens. Great location and fantastic amenities! Pool was clean, tennis equipment supplied, great spa and sauna too. Short walk to both beach & town. Couldn’t go wrong really. Alot bigger than we anticipated. A plus there was a gym we could use, despite being a very short walk away, it was fully stocked and tied into the price which was awesome. Staff were very friendly and welcoming.
