Easter escape without the crowds in a relaxing spacious villa. Tropical setting and expansive architecture, made it feel like we were in a different country. Great service at the pro shop, great all round golf course. Sadly there seemed to be a lot of litter in this beautiful natural setting. Four stars

My husband and I had dinner at Rydges Formosa on Sunday night. What an amazing experience! Nick, who took our reservation, made sure the staff knew it was our wedding anniversary and Emma went out of her way to make our evening special. The service was wonderful, the food delicious and the views from our table were absolutely stunning. What a gem out here in our piece of paradise. We highly recommend dining at Rydges Formosa and we will be back again soon. Thank you to Nick, Emma and the team.

Excellent service, food and location. My partner and I were really impressed. Would highly recommend, the place reminds me of the engine room or depot food and service wise, I had the duck parfait, the lamb duo and the lemon tart and had a nicely matched duck hunter Pinot on our server’s recommendation with the lamb. The parfait was smooth and creamy and pink as it should be. The Lamb was tender and juicy and the tart really well balanced lemony, raspberry sweet and sour with white chocolate mousse on top. Will be back to try more. Really good.

I live locally, so visited the restaurant and I can say with complete honesty, this is the worse dining experience I have ever, ever had in my life. The hotel was basically empty, no staff on at all not even the front desk, apart from one lovely waitress (she is the only reason I’m giving 1 star. Without her it would be negative stars). We ordered bread and dips, beetroot and goats cheese salad, a pumpkin and feta tart and some ‘Herb roasted’ potatoes. The bread and dips was basic to say the least, it was some haphazard slices of bread on a plate with cold hard butter. 0 effort went into it. The beetroot salad had no dressing and again no effort was put into it. A few leaves and some beetroot chucked in a bowl. But the absolute worst thing was the tart. Believe it or not the chef actually forgot the pumpkin and feta.... and I got a piece of pastry covered in an overboard of shallots. When we sent it back, the chef literally chucked a random chunk of microwaved pumpkin and some feta on top and sent it back to us. It was soggy, I didn’t eat it and I was almost offended that the chef did that. The potatoes were not ‘herb roasted.’ They were boiled, and covered in some watery herb mixture from a jar. I was offered a free dessert due to the disaster that was the main, so chose a cheese board. This was the cherry on top of an awful cake for me - I literally got broken crackers out of the packet, Brie straight from the fridge and some sliced apple. We almost couldn’t believe how awful it was. I let the waitress know my concerns, and asked her to tell the manager. Instead of the manager or the chef taking any responsibility and coming out to talk to us, they sent the poor girl back and forth. To put it lightly, I’m disgusted.

Nice and clean accomodation with stunning ocean views. The restaurant serves delicious food while the staff take care to experience the best dining.

Had the opportunity to play out at Formosa Resort in East Auckland today. The staff were friendly and the clubhouse is beautiful. The course layout itself is one of the best in Auckland in my opinion. Greens were excellent which was nice to see. Fairways and bunkers still have a lot of work to be done but overall the work that has been done by the new owners has been good in my opinion. Will certainly be back and can't wait to see how the course will develop over the next few years!

I am glad this beautiful resort is back to Kiwi ownership. So much has improved since my last visit. Rooms have been renovated and the restaurant was running at full capacity. Stayed there for New Years and had a great time. Nick, the staff member, was awesome. Very friendly and welcoming.

We live locally and after reading rave reviews of the restaurant on the local Facebook page we were very excited to try it out. We met some friends for brunch on a Sunday morning. Unfortunately we were disappointed both by the average food and coffee, and the level of service from the staff left a lot to be desired. Such a shame as it has real potential and it is a stunning location with amazing views.
