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!

    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.

    The place is cosy and has a nice homely coast feel. Beds were comfy. Location was close to shops and cafe/restaurants (great places to eat). Knowing it was a pet friendly place and we didn't bring a pet, it was clean and wouldn't notice that pets had been before. Shoal Bay itself has some great scenic walks. Would stay again.

    We stayed at the Breakwater apartments and the property was very clean and spacious for our family and grandparents. Shoal bay in general is a great spot for young families. Not crowded and enough food places to choose from that's walking distance from the Ramada. We didn't need to make any bookings which was a nice surprise.

    Amazing location. Top floor with the best view. Near to all the Shoal Bay shops and restaurants but far enough away to not be disturbed by the noise. Comfy beds. Bunk bed was perfect for family of 4. Well appointed kitchen. DVDs available. Parking included. Easy access to beach.
