Quality Inn Acapulco Taupo

"when I turned down my bed, the bottom sheet did not look like it had been changed, as it was very wrinkled and was not tacked in at top mattress. The room was clean, but we had trouble to get TV to go, we ended up turning off at wall as was too late to talk to anybody. The shower over bath when you are older are harder to get into ... The parking if a big Ute was a bit tight , small driving area"

Oasis Beach Motel

8/10 Good

"The view from the room was spectacular. Walked along the shore right from our room. Room was clean had many useful amenities. The “heated pool” was ice cold.
