Guest reviews· 7.9/10 (2,482)

The Copthorne Hotel and Resort Bay Of Islands generally receives positive feedback from guests, with many highlighting its relaxing atmosphere and family-friendly amenities. The on-site spa and wellness center, particularly the spa pool, is a consistent point of praise, contributing significantly to guests' enjoyable and rejuvenating stays. The proximity to the Waitangi Treaty Grounds is also frequently appreciated, offering convenient access to a major historical attraction.

While the majority of experiences are positive, some minor details occasionally detract from an otherwise excellent stay. Specific feedback on dining suggests that while aspects of the stay are loved, the dinner service may sometimes fall short of expectations. The hotel offers interconnected rooms and special diet menus on request, showcasing an effort to cater to diverse guest needs. However, a potential area for improvement noted is that upper floors are only accessible by stairs, which could be a concern for some guests, despite the entire unit being wheelchair accessible.
