Lovely courtside room. Only problem was the ants that filled the rubbish bin when we were there for only a few hours and the slow reception service. Everything else was great including our evening spa in the rain

The staff were generally helpful, but for the price paid, the rooms felt quite dated. I also had an uncomfortable experience when using the microwave in the laundry room to heat milk for my baby — the security staff on Sunday, 8 June gave me a suspicious look and questioned what I was doing. As a parent, this made me feel quite unwelcome. It would be great if all staff, including security, were briefed to approach guests in a more courteous and understanding manner.

Copthorne Bay of Islands feels like paradise. From our room to the pool, spa and restaurant - the layout, service and experience was absolutely breathtaking. Me and my partner had the seafacing room with a balcony and truly enjoyed the views and stay. We will definately be back.

All we wanted was a good relax and watch tv in bed after a hard long week after a tangi. Instead after and hour of trying to get tv working I call reception to be told tvs aren’t working and no discount was offered. Was clean and tidy and comfortable which was a plus.
