Recent Reviews in Bellara

Ramada Resort by Wyndham Golden Beach

Ramada Resort by Wyndham Golden Beach

10/10 Excellent
"We enjoyed this studio ocean view on the top floor, both from the balcony and the living room. The accommodation had everything we needed including refrigerator, dishes/pans, and cooktop. It felt spacious, and the views of the water were beautiful as it changed from high tide to low tide each day. When we checked in, we received a welcome drink and property information, like location for laundry and parking. (Note: There is a second parking lot a short walk away.) The weather was cool, so we didn't use the pool. However, it was nice to walk along the beach and further down where the mangrove boardwalk is located. Probably the only issue we had was the need to login to the WiFi when we would return to our room after being away for a walk, dinner, etc. The property was undergoing WiFi/internet maintenance that month, per the notice from management so we were aware there could be challenges."

"The view is amazing and this location is perfect. We had no issues at all during our stay and loved every minute of it. It was well air conditioned and the balcony was large and comfortable. The komo restaurant on site was very…meh. It didn’t seem overly welcoming and we ended up just walking out which was unfortunate, but honestly the rest of the stay more than makes up for it. I would 100% stay again if (when) I come back to Brisbane/Redcliffe."
