John, Australia

The staff were great, the breakfast was great. The room was great neat clean & tidy. Love the extras e.g. Spa pool

Leesa, Australia

Location right across the road from muddys playground and only a short walk to the lagoon and cafes/shops! Friendly, helpful staff and very clean

Jodie, Australia

bed very comfy. Breakfast really good. Was a little further than we thought from main part of City, but was nice place to have holiday, would recommend to my friends to stay.

Allan, Australia

Travelling with children, the children's playground 'Muddy's' made the location fantastic. The esplanade lagoon was a 10 minute walk along the esplanade. We stayed in a family room and the division was great.

Todd, Australia

The bed was so comfortable, like sleeping on a cloud! Staff were helpful and happy. The hotel room was extremely clean, something I am always impressed by. I can't wait to stay at Ridges Esplanade again one day soon.

Kelly, Australia

The staff were all very friendly and helpful, the view from the room was great

Andrew, Australia

Beautiful view from our room...very clean & tidy. The staff were excellent.

Jill, Australia

Perfect location as it was a easy walk along The Esplanade to the CBD but was quiet and very scenic. The only real noise were the planes departing but would not deter me from rebooking here. Breakfast was OK but staff need to check on the quantity as they ran out of a few of my choices which made the selection limited.

Shirley, Australia

It was our 39th wedding anniversary and we were given a free upgrade.

Noel, New Zealand

What Travelers Love About This Location

“Great location-not too close to the main tourist areas but close enough to walk everywhere. The layout of the room was perfect; you don't often get double beds in a twin room. The staff were very helpful, particularly the gentlemen at the info desk. Breakfast was delicious.”

Debbie

Australia

“Amazing staff,always happy to help with happy faces, especially the restaurant/bar staff. Very relaxed atmosphere. Great sized rooms. Great facilities and a easy short walk down the esplanade to the city centre. Will defiantly be back to stay at the Rydges Resort.”

눉2 laundries only for 11 levels and I don't know how many rooms each level. The worst thing was the central air conditioning policy they have, the temperature was set on 25c and if you feel hot you can open the balcony doors to get cool breeze, mind you that you can turn off the air conditioning from each room individually but you can't control the temperature, very not happy how about setting it on 22c and if you cold just turn from your room only ???😓 Was very uncomfortable.
눇Top location and top ocean view, good price for it's location.

눉The mattresses on the kids bunk beds were uncomfortable. The food from the restaurant, ordered through room service was surprisingly disappointing. The rooms were old and tired (walls scuffed/needing a paint) bathrooms were old with showers over bath and baths chipped.
