Ramada Resort by Wyndham Shoal Bay, hotel in Shoal Bay

Steps from the white sand and sparkling water of the beach, Ramada Resort by Wyndham Shoal Bay features well-furnished apartments.

This property has amazing location. I also want to note that the staff was very friendly (Mel) and helped me with resolving my reservation since I booked for incorrect dates (was my mistake). The room was specious and clean, the bed was comfortable. I did not had breakfast in the hotel but it looked very good too. I will not hesitate to stay here again and recommend it to everyone.

    The weather was uncertain but there were opportunities to appreciate the beauty of the bay and the views over Port Stephens. We took advantage of excellent take away from Giannis and mod Thai. The IGA was small but very useful. It was a good location for exploring Nelson Bay, Fingal Bay and Salamander, all worth a visit

    Shoal bay has always been a holiday destination for us.

    Shoal bay has always been a holiday destination for us. Been many times over the years and it never disappoints. My kids loved it and now the grandkids love the ease of getting to all amenities. The beach is just across the road. Shops within walking distance. Fresh air and wonderful selection is cafes and ice cream shops. The country club is our favourite place to get a great meal. We hired a canoe and paddled out to the beautiful turquoise waters. Can't explain it you have to experience it yourself.

    Love the coastal area.

    Love the coastal area. Minimal traffic, high rise and not over developed. Beautiful beaches with blue tranquil water. Definitely Not a surfing beach. White sand . Seems like a very safe area. Good places to eat. Try the Country Club for a great meal or afternoon cocktails . Also the Atmos Greek Restaurant was very nice. 5 mins drive to Little Bay Boathouse a great restaurant we lived. 10 minutes to the larger town of Nelson Bay if you want to shop, dine, or need anything. Also a wharf there with fresh seafood available.

    It was a beautiful place, what would be good is a place to hire beach chairs. I didn't go to beach cause I can't sit without chair.Transport to airport was great right out side door nearly and cheap, bus driver helped put cases on and off.

    The location was central to many beaches (Box Beach, Fingal Bay, Shoal Bay) and the garden was lovely and well maintained. The air conditioning worked well and the bathrooms were clean and spacious. The bedrooms were also a good size. The property managers responded quickly when the hot water stopped working and rectified the problem within a few hours. The washing machine works well.

    What an amazing beachside destination! I have been holidaying in Shoal Bay on-and-off for many years now. We were blessed with beautiful weather which always makes a holiday memorable. The Ramada Resort was extremely pleasant and the fact that eateries were within steps made it beautifully easy. I love Shoal Bay; I just love it!

    The apartment and the location were absolutely brilliant. Right on Shoal Bay Beach, with a lovely view of the water from the balcony. The apartment was big, and very comfortable, with great beds, couches and a lovely balcony. Everything was spot on and we hope to stay there again when we're next in the area.

    Beautiful stylish and spacious appartment close to the best areas of shoal bay! Just cross the road to the most beautiful spot on the beach and a delicious cafe directly under the appartment complex where we ate every day! We truly had the best time and would 100% recommend this place to anyone.

    The location is nice and quiet, right across from Shoal Bay beach. The shops and restaurants are so close and its a nice stroll to the headland and lookout. We had a problem with the internet and the host contacted us personally and resolved the issue. We would certainly stay here again 👍

    The apartment was gorgeous, comfortable and well equipped. The view was spectacular and wonderful to wake up to. Location was also very convenient, plenty of restaurants in the area and few steps away from the beach. Mount Tomaree is also just a walking distance away.

    Loved the villa, felt cost and comfortable. Ideal for family vacation. The location was superb; as it is situated at Shoal Bay, close to the beach, nearby hikes and restaurants. We had a great time at the villa as a family. Very glad that we came here…

    The location at Shoal Bay is beautiful. There was a view but the kitchen overlooked it and the lounge had sofas that didn’t face the view. The outdoor area was mouldy and uneven so not inviting at all.
