My wife and I have would like to highly recommend the 'Ramada Resort by Wyndham Shoal Bay.' All aspects as designated in my review checking have reached a top standard. We would be most interested in using this resort on another occasion.
Dear Lloyd, many thanks for writing such a lovely feedback about your recent stay. The team is very excited you enjoyed your stay with us and in Shoal Bay. We hope to welcome you soon again Warm regards, Ramada Tem

Our recent stay at the Ramada Shoal Bay was to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary and the staff at the Ramada could not have been more accomodating. Our room was perfect together with complimentary champagne and my wife and I had a ball for the duration of our stay. I can't recommend the Ramada at Shoal Bay highly enough. Thank you one and all.
Great location, friendly staff”
Mostly pros from me. I found the staff to be friendly, attentive and helpful from the start. Our room was lovely and had everything we needed. I opted to bring my port-a-cot but they can provide them for just $15. The beach is right across the road and there is an IGA in the same complex as well as some lovely restaurants nearby so you really don’t need to leave Shoal Bay. The only complaint I have is that they recently moved the cafe and it’s still not finished (which is fine). The issue is that it’s connected to a beer garden attached to the pub and bar. The beer garden allows smoking so while we were eating breakfast we could smell the cigarette smoke which was very off-putting
Very good”
Overall, my group of 6 adults had a wonderful time at Ramada. The three bedroom apartment was spacious, clean, well equipped. The beach view was beautiful and the pools/spas in the resort were clean and pleasant. The location was great, there are a various of restaurants within walking distance and Nelson Bay was only a 5 min drive. The beach was across the road, can't get better than that. The staff were friendly and helpful. The only thing we found odd was a bad fishy smell in the common lift area on our level but it didn't penetrate to our apartment. Ramada Shoal Bay provided a relaxing holiday for us, so I would recommend it!
Excellent location”
I have stayed at Ramada few times. I like the location. Beachfront apartments have amazing view of Shoal bay. Staff are professional and friendly. I was able to check in early with any problem.
Dear Mohammad, thank you very much for your positive feedback about your recent stay with us. I am excited to read you enjoyed your returning stay with us. I hope we will see you soon again. Kind regards, Ramada Team
Nice location”
We stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment in breakwater in the off season. The apartment is super spacious. The rooms were clean and modern - especially the beautiful bathrooms. Free underground parking for 1 car was great although it was a very tight spot. Ocean views were not that great as we were given a room on the lower level. Good location across the road from Shoal Bay. Overall we highly recommend this property for families and groups.
I have stayed at the Ramada previously and loved my experience. ”
My 2 friends and I stayed at the Ramada for a girls wknd it was a comfortable 2 bedroom room with an ocean view, absolutely stunning. We relaxed in the spa and enjoyed the balcony view. One thing we were a little disappointed with was unable to connect our chrome cast to the tv so we could chill out and watch Netflix. Also the internet seemed to of crashed in the bay that weekend which was really crap. But this was out of the Ramada’s hands and did get complimentary wi-fi. All in all we are looking forward to making the Ramada our annual girls weekend destination!!
Dear Krystal, thank you very much for writing your lovely feedback about your recent stay. I am very excited you enjoyed your girls getaway including the view and our spa baths. I am very sorry you have not been able to connect the TV to your chrome cast. I will forward your feedback to our maintenance department to have a further look into it. Again thank you for your fantastic feedback. Warm regards, Ramada Team
Very good”
This place is an institution for generations and still wows with location and convenience. There are some major reno's going on at the moment so not every restaurant / bar was in full swing. I just wanted a few nights away before the end of holidays. Best views, under 2 minutes to cafes, beach, and pub is all I needed, and the Shoal Bay Resort nails that.
Had the best most relaxing stay..loved it!”
Wonderful stay, thoroughly enjoyed the stay, nice restaurants, walks along shoal bay beach and out to Tomaree..loved it!
Fabulous weekend away”
We stayed here for an anniversary weekend and it was absolutely amazing. The resort is made up of a couple of accomodation buildings. We were in Zenith building which I think is one of the older ones. I was a little worried when I saw the exterior as it did look a little worn, however the apartment itself was really quite nice and very roomy. The bedroom is seperate to the lounge room, dining area and kitchenette. The bathroom was clean and spacious- some cosmetic wear- a few cracked tiles and marks on the mirror, but overall I was really happy the the apartment. We didn't get much time to use the facilities but the outdoor pool looked great, and there is also an indoor lap pool and hydro baths. There were a number of restaurants nearby for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and each of the rooms has its own parking bay assigned so no need to worry about where to park the car. I'll be coming back again for my anniversary next year!
neat, clean close to beach ”
Clean and neat rooms, friendly staff. Close to the country club hotel which is owned by the hotel group. It's also in walking distance to the beach. Easy drive to Nelsons bay (7 mins) and salamander bay (another 7 mins) which offer more eating and shopping options. Quiet this time of year, but that's what we were looking for.
Great location but small rooms”
we gladly used all the facilities resort has to offer. 2 bedroom unit had very good size balcony with a nice view to shoal bay, unfortunately without bbq facility due to fire regulations. the unit itself was smaller than anticipated, second bedroom without a window. we were told that all 2 bedroom apartments do not have window in a 2-nd bedroom.
Great view”
The location was excellent & the meal we had at the Shoal Bay country club was one of the best meals I've had in ages. The view was perfect. Unfortunately we had a lot of noise coming from the floor above bathroom pipes. (toilet flushing?) This was quite disturbing as it happened many times during the night. The room itself was quite good.
Great location”
The Ramada is a little hit and miss The rooms are ok without being anything special probably could do with a bit of a fresh and up. The beds were very uncomfortable as were the pillows we had to ask for a mattress topper to make it bearable. We stayed in two rooms we upgraded to an ocean view which had no TV in the bedroom that may not be an issue for some The hotel is in a great location and as it's a timeshare the rooms are not serviced for that price you would probably stay in a hotel where rooms are serviced. The hotel has a nice indoor pool and spas the gym is pretty ordinary the outdoor pool seems ok
Dear Herbert, thank you very much for taking your time to provide a feedback about your recent stay. I am pleased to read you enjoyed in overall your stay with us. I am very sorry to read about your experience with the mattress. Please be assured we are going to have a look into it, to see if changes need to be done. Warm regards, Ramada Team
Perfect escape from Sydney”
With young kids and a baby this is just about the perfect distance to drive before they all lose the plot. The beach is calm and clear, great for little ones. The hotel has a nice indoor pool area for the cooler days and a great outdoor pool that's surprisingly warm. Room we got in the Seaspray building was spacious and easy to access. Beds comfortable and overall a positive experience. Could use some new paint and silicon/grout in the bathrooms but it appears well maintained otherwise. Loved the terrace and for that price (off peak) I didn't mind overlooking the rooftops, I could still see the bay from the kitchen and lounge just fine. Will certainly be back as this is my second visit. Last time on my own in the Whitesands building and it was pretty good too.
Disjointed ”
The area was disjointed and the rooms themselves where claustrophobic. Narrow hallway the length of the room with the bedroom itself was tiny with no ventilation. Yes i could turn aircon on but why should you when your over looking shoal bay. The restaraunt at the country club had bad service had to explain to barmen the drink i ordered (they thought it was a type of pizza) also for breakfast i was handed a menu. After reading it i went up to order and after trying to order 3 different items cause apparently these where not available i found something that was. Why give out a menu if items are not available to order. Shoal bay is beautiful but i wont be staying there again.
Short stay. ”
Just wanted somewhere for a three day break. At this time of the year we were able to get a very good deal. The unit was fully self contained and well appointed. As this was winter, the local area was quiet and not crowded. Probably would not consider this resort in peak times due to price and crowds.
Dear Robert, thank you very much for providung a feedback about your stay. I am excited to read you had a loveley getaway here in Shoal Bay. We hope to see you another time at Ramada Resort by Wyndham Shoal Bay. Kind regards, Ramada Team
Local Holiday”
The Ramada was exceptional ito price and location. The apartments are not serviced tho and we had verrrrrry noisy neighbours. The front desk staff were excellent and long-suffering!
Great Location”
We both had a lovely stay at Ramada Resort. Great View. Clean comfortable rooms
Great location and well maintained ”
The resort is well positioned right across from the beach and overall is well maintained. Check in was pleasant and check out was easy. It was great having off street parking as well. I didn’t use the new restaurant or pools but they appeared to be very nice. Only downside was not having fresh linens daily (only changed once if you’re staying 8 or more nights) and no refilled bathroom products (just one supply of the miniature products). Would have felt much more luxurious with these two services, which you’d expect of a hotel or resort.
