Ramada Hervey Bay

Ramada Hervey Bay

10/10 Excellent
"The room that we had felt tired and outdated and in a real need of refurbishment but it certainly didn’t affect the enjoyment of our stay. The staff were so friendly and eager to help whatever the requests that we made. Loved the nice warm clean pool, would definitely look at staying here again, maybe just in an upgraded room."

"We had a great stay in a two bedroom apartment on the 5th floor. Rooms were clean and generously spaced. The pool is great but was windy for our stay so not used as much as liked. The location is convenient for the boat pier and departures."

"Was a little disappointed that I couldn’t see the ocean view without going out on to balcony. Property was in a good position close to restaurants, great walking to the pier. Apartment set up nicely although a few items like salt, fly spray etc would have been handy ensuite was a shower/ bath combination so I had to use the other bathroom as it was a 2 bedroom apartment. Lovely heated pool"
