The omelette at Breakfast was the best I have ever had....the balance of flavours was astounding and unforgettable. Worth! The service was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! We were treated with so much kindness and we would 100% come back again and again. The pool area was my absolute favourite and a highlight! We didn't even have to leave the hotel as everything we needed was there. Do not think; JUST BOOK!

The hotel was lovely, the rooms were clean, spacious and the beds and bedding were so comfortable! I went to the bar and asked for milk and was given fresh milk straight away - the staff were lovely. I was worried it would be noisy as right opposite the kids play area but it was quiet early and peaceful all night. highly recommend!

    We liked our villa, very comfortable, the camp kitchen was the best we have seen. The grounds and amenities were great, reception staff very friendly. We did not find anything to complain about. We had some great meals close to the holiday park. Easy walking to the shops in the Main Street .

    The location is perfect, across the road from the beach, walk to the pub and restaurants. Plus all the resort facilities are great. The shower over the bath in most of the rooms is very high to get in and out of, with no handle to hold on to!

    Overall shoal bay is a very relaxing place to stay, like most popular destinations it’s wise to book into into restaurants at popular times like summer I haven’t been up that way for a break for awhile and the fact that you have to pay to park in a lot of places when some of the streets are horrendous to drive on just doesn’t seem right, they want tourists to go to these destinations but aren’t giving them any incentives to do so

    Lots of nearby restaurants and clubs, beach just across the road, dolphins came to visit the wharf opposite on Saturday night making it extra special as they frolicked for the gawking crowds gathered on the new pier.
