Utuado accommodation from NZ$236

We booked two nights during the week while I was recovering from out-patient minor surgery. We had an accessibility room on the ground floor #111. Room was updated and bed was super comfortable with view of the ocean. The day after check in, we relaxed by the pool. It is beautiful, with plenty of shaded lounging areas. It was a really nice experience. The ocean proximity provided a great view, but as a beach, was underwhelming. The sand was more like dirt. Not the white sandy beaches you think of. Perhaps they could truck in some white sand to cover the dirt. As previous guests mentioned, the birds were at breakfast, but it’s an open-aired restaurant, so not much could be done on the hotel’s part. Just watch your food. There is an indoor area if it bothers you too much. The buffet was nothing special, I had hoped to sample local fruits and dishes, but there was just the usual. We did book dinner at La Cava Restaurant on-site. That was a real treat. The food was amazing with interesting flavors. Our waitress was top notch! Overall, our stay was a great experience, providing comfort and luxury relaxation in my time of need. Add a little local flare to breakfast and some white sand and it would be perfect!
