Currently staying at the Ramada in Marcoola Beach as a base for getting around. 2 people. Myself and my 10 year old son.

The hotel is clean. The staff are friendly and helpful. The room is spacious and clean. There are tea making facilities and a mini fridge. Our room also has access to a full laundry. The bed is comfortable. The tv is modern. There is also a DVD player. You can hire DVDs from reception for the length of your stay. Costs $5 for 2 or $10 for 5.

The pool area is extremely safe. You need your key pass to access the pool safety gates. The water is clean and warm and there's plenty of seating around the pool. There is also direct access to the beach from the pool area.

There is allocated under ground parking with elevators to your floor.

My only tiny complaint would be that the doona isn't enclosed in a doona cover. It's placed between 2 sheets. If you move about at night the sheets move and you have doona directly on you. Yuk.

But overall I give this hotel 5 stars for location, cleanliness, amenities and friendly staff and price.

Loved the room! Stayed overnight in two bedroom apartment (self contained) with 180 sea breathtaking view. Clean, tidy at reasonable price and very close to Sunshine Airport. Highly recommended for families.

We're Wyndham owners and often stay in a hotel room because it's usually all we need. Have also stayed in a 1 br apartment. Both are very well appointed. Staff are friendly and helpful. I enjoy using the bikes as there's lots of places to ride. Good shops and restaurants across the road. Bus at the door to explore further afield. Day spa is FANTASTIC. Rachel, the owner, has a wonderfully holistic approach. Massages and facials are fabulous. Highly recommended.
