Ramada Resort by Wyndham Shoal Bay

Ramada Resort by Wyndham Shoal Bay

8/10 Good
"Disappointed with our 2 bedroom Deluxe Waterview to find that one bedroom is great with balcony and views, whilst the second smaller bedroom is windowless, with an opaque-type sliding door (not legally a 2nd bedroom). But at least it had an ensuite (their marketing does not specify 2 bathrooms - that would help). Also not mentioned is the permanent resident/owners, who are permitted to smoke 24/7, so our apartment had smoke drift the entire time from below (also in neighbouring unit where other members of our group were). By comparision, end of floor unit is also a 2br Deluxe Waterview and both bedrooms have great views - and windows/doors, so if you're claustrophobic, or want a fair deal, book an end unit to get the best (and bigger floor plan). The main bathroom is in need of a deep clean - perpetual stale smell of the urine - not pleasant and apparently a big problem to install brighter bulbs too. Views are great (higher floors) but take your eye masks as not block out curtains if you’re in east facing room."
