Relaxing stay overlooking Port Stephens Bay
A very nice and relaxing stay. The staff were polite and welcoming on check in, and our apartment was located on the top floor overlooking Port Stephens bay. As it's winter the indoor pool and spa area were perfect. The Ramada is directly across from water with Shoal Bay Country Club right next door. The Game Fish Club and other restaurants and cafes are near by.

A very enjoyable two night stay at the Ramada Resort. Check in was a breeze, parking easy, the room clean and large enough, and very quiet. Plenty of food options close by, I recommend Atmos for delicious Greek food! The bathroom was fine, but the shower head was a bit low for a very tall man. Nice place.

Great location, excellent service from staff
Hotel is in a great location, across from the water, with great pubs, cafes and restaurants in walking distance. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was neat and the bed was very comfortable, but the lounge area was not as inviting. The bathrooms and rooms are a little aged. Was expecting a little more modern for the price and brand.

Old and horrible
Booked a studio room which turned out to be in another street. Not part of the hotel. Was an old apartment building in the next street. Very run down. Couldn't use the aircon or fan due to the loud noise it made. Couldn't keep the door open as no fly screen. Bed was super uncomfortable and rolled into the middle. The staff are incredibly inexperienced. I was unable to check in at 1pm but given my car space and room number and told to put my car there and go to the club and wait for my room key. After a few drinks i came back and they said the room was wrong and i needed to move my car to another building. I had just had 3 drinks so there is no way i was drink driving. Then they gave me a room number saying your in 2003. I walked all the way out there to find nothing similar. Confused maybe they had got that confused with the carspace i went back to reception. They said oh no its z03. Very stressful and hard to go that far carying a 2 year old. Its all stair access so you cannot get to the studios with a stroller or wheelchair! Overall horrible stay. Will never go back.

The shower over the bath was awkward for my partner. He was too tall. I also didn’t realise there was no kitchen which was disappointing (my error). I realise it was school holidays so rates were higher but we chose to stay there as our first stay there was great. This time we paid more for less & it was a little disappointing. Staff, especially cleaning crew were fantastic.

We really loved the Ramada, but the beds are way too soft. And the lounges in these rooms are so uncomfortable. Also wish in the ocean view rooms, take away the dam baths. Honestly as a middle aged couple, climbing over it was awkward, thank goodness there was a rail to hold onto. We are late 50s and early 60s and tall. But apart from that, the rooms are equipped with everything you need. Wardrobes are great and kitchen was amazing. The balcony was to die for, I got so many great photos of the ocean amd the full moon, which felt like we could reach out and touch it. Everything is in walking distance, the pool was so nice and the day spa was lovely we both had pedicures, staff were amazing. The Little Beach Boathouse was our final meal and we became engaged to be married after dinner. Highly recommend this restaurant to eat. Thankyou Ramada, we'll be back.

I stayed in two separate rooms at the resort. The first was low budget, family friendly room. While no view and only stairs to access the room was comfortable and clean. The second room was the deluxe suite, a beautiful space, although the spa/shower combo could do with an upgrade. Just tired and dangerous to stand in the spa tub to shower. Otherwise, location is perfect.
