Rotorua's Wai Ora Lakeside Spa Resort has once again been voted one of the top 10 best relaxation spa resorts in the South Pacific.
The resort has been voted in the top 10 for the second consecutive year and was the only hotel from New Zealand featured in the category.
Wai Ora Lakeside Spa Resort owners Bryan and Lisa Hughes were ecstatic about the award, which Mr Hughes said was testament to the hard work of their dedicated team.
"It is great to know that we are voted highly among travellers and tourists visiting Rotorua.
"It puts our resort and Rotorua as a destination on the map for potential visitors who may have not thought about visiting us in the past."
The award is calculated by Trip Advisor's online review system, where past guests and visitors are able to comment on their experience, provide reviews and publish an overall rating of their experience with certain accommodation providers.
Only 676 Trip Advisor Travellers' Choice Awards are awarded each year, with thousands of hotels worldwide being eligible.
Mr Hughes said he believed the latest award positioned the resort as New Zealand's "leading relaxation and spa hotel".
"It shows that our resort is meeting expectations for our visitors. I think they are pleasantly surprised when they discover our internationally acclaimed Wai Ora Spa and our beautiful lake environment."
The Wai Ora Lakeside Spa Resort offers visitors a luxury, full facility spa resort hotel experience providing absolute lakeside accommodation.
As home to the only cultural day spa facilities in New Zealand, the resort aims to provide visitors with a unique accommodation, food and spa experience which is found nowhere else.
"This award, along with our second New Zealand Beef and Lamb Award for the Mokoia Restaurant, shows that we are on the right track as we strive for excellence.
"We now wait the judging of our resort in the World Luxury Spa Awards for which we received a nomination late last year.
"It clearly shows that what were the origins of tourism here in Rotorua and indeed New Zealand is just as relevant today as it was in the past - our spas."
