Top Pilot Bay Beach Hotel Reviews

Quest Mt Maunganui

8/10 Good

"Nice, clean, comfortable and modern apartments. We booked the studio and it was spacious, more than enough for two people. Quick, easy check-in. A plus is the EV charger conveniently located at the car park. They also supply the charger cord. Location is also good, a short walking distance from all the cafes and shops, and the beach is not that far away either. However, if you are a light sleeper, try to book a room facing the car park. There is a place with live music and also an Irish bar very close, and you will have a lot of noise till easily 2am at weekends. You can find earplugs as part of the room amenities, they are there for a reason. Bed mattress was not great, but this is something very personal."

The Atrium Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Aroha (hostess) was so kind. I figure we were the last check-in of the day and she was waiting for us at the counter. She was so kind and helpful. The room was clean, spacious, and had an amazing view. Aroha had even turned the heat pump heater on so the room was warm when we checked in (bear in mind we went in July so it was winter). The apartment's amenities (kitchen, laundry, dishwasher) were in excellent working order. Mt. Maunganui was within a stone's throw (but the trails were closed to recent land slips) and there were loads of great beaches, shops, and restaurants within walking distance. I would happily stay here again."

The Beaumont Apartments

8/10 Good

"The accomodation is in an excellent location. Key pick up was easy by calling the manager and they give you the code for the lockbox. The property is well maintained . The apartment is very well maintained although it is not a new unit still very much the 90s. If I had a gripe it would be they could have there own wifi as this does make it difficult to watch even the tv on the building hotspot and the tv is just a small after thought. This is being picky I know. Bed was comfortable and unit is warm as north facing with a seaview overall its a good option"
