Shoal Bay Hotel Reviews

Clean & Comfortable plus Convenient Location…

5 / 5

From the friendly & welcoming Reception staff through to the cheery house-keeping staff, we found our stay both comfortable and relaxing. Our room was spacious and comfortable - and very quiet. Walking distance to the beach, local shops and restaurants and bars meant parking the car in the undercover car park and forgetting about it for the whole weekend.…

Barrington, Unit 814/43-45 Shoal Bay Road

Expedia Verified Review…

3 / 5

As for location, it was perfect. Walk to the beach and coffee shops. But the process to get the keys and return the key was terrible. needing to get apps and passwords and lock boxes that refused to open inside a container in a non decrepit location. The unit itself was clean but aged, needing some repair work. The process to check in and check out through this complicated and frustrating process means that i will not be staying with any location managed by this company again.…As for location, it was perfect.

Expedia Verified Review…

4 / 5

A beautiful apartment, spotless & lovely interior decorating. Great views of the bay, excellent pool & spa access. The only negative was a Communication issue, (voice message left- no return phone call) when we could not locate the second key on check-in. It was difficult using one key between 6 adults for a 2 night stay. …
