AI Summary
Grand Mercure Puka Park impresses with spacious, well-equipped rooms, friendly staff, and a serene, natural setting near the beach and shops. However, it lacks specific details on dining options.

We had a 13 day stay that we booked 12 months ago. Stayed as part of the Accor Vacation Club. We feel as though we were given the worst room in the property. Poorly maintained room and facilities. Had to clean all kitchen items before using and wipe the thick film of dust out of kitchen cupboards. Told there was a communal laundry and led to believe that was it. Other members had washing machine facilities in their room. Housekeeping staff were the heroes of the stay. Poorly maintained garden beds and overgrown vegetation, causing more bugs and bees to inhabit the property than should be. The room was damp and smelt mouldy. This was like glamping, not a resort. Would have left earlier if we could have flown home. Would not recommend, nor return. EVER!.

Quiet and quaint
A room the trees was a new experience for us. It was quiet and quaint. We highly recommend this resort.

Very hilly, parking is a bit of a hike from your room.
Gorgeous property, feels like you’re in a rainforest.
Excellent buffet breakfast (although essentially identical both days).
Free loan of shovels for hot water beach.

Sehr unfreundliches Personal
Unterkunft nicht sauber
Schlechter Service, saßen über eine halbe Stunde und haben auf den Kellner gewartet, darauf angesprochen wollte er vorbeikommen, da würden wir jetzt noch darauf warten.

It’s a little bit of paradise in the bush but only minutes to the beach.
The only thing that lets it down is the food, definitely not 5 star food, we were there for 3 nights and our original intention was to have dinner there for all 3 nights, but my dinner was very basic and definitely not a lot of it, was very disappointed, we went out for dinner the remaining 2 nights, plus breakfast again is basic food that you make at home every day!

Special stay
The grounds of the property are beautiful and we enjoyed using the amenities like the tennis court, pool and hot tub. It was also very nice that they would lend items like shovels for use at hot water beach free of charge. I enjoyed the stay.

Nice comfortable clean room set in a beautiful wooded location on a hillside. Lots of birdsong to sit and listen to on the attached deck. Very nice beach within walking distance. on-site restaurant has wonderful setting and ambience, food is good but not great. Pauanui is a little too quiet for my taste... only one road in and out, and only 2 restaurants open in the evening (other than the property), but I wouldn't ding the hotel for that.
