Property was well located, gated community.. so felt safe. Near restaurants and bicycles were available for us for free. Nice walking and bike path. Pool was large,warm and clean.
We were extremely happy with our stay at Ramada Encore, staff were extremely friendly and accommodating from the moment we checked in. Room was clean, amenities easily assessed and well taken care off. Only bad thing about our stay was it didn’t last longer! My kids especially loved the pool and spa area.
great place to stay, staff very friendly and you can use both of the site facilities. the undercover parking was great for the wet weather, room was good and stay was good.
This was the perfect choice for our stay in Hervey bay. Close to the trips and pickup points.
The room or should I say apartment was perfect for us.
We managed to do all our laundry and get it dry on our last evening.
We checked out and sat around the pool whilst waiting for our airport transfer and had a cheeky last dip. We also had a breakfast on our last day and this was brilliant. We filled up for the day and the choice was great.
Thank you for making our stay perfect.

Family friendly with a quiet atmosphere. Our room needed some maintenance in the bathroom but other than that clean and comfortable. Would recommend and stay again.
Front of house staff were excellent. And went out of their way to assist, choosing the right room for me, plus assistance with IT things.
Will go and stay there again
Our 2br unit was fantastic. Was really well appointed, comfortable and spacious. Would definately stay here again. Loved thw ping pong table and pool/bbq area too.
A safe and spacious townhouse with plenty of room for 3 adults and 2 kids. Comfortable beds and lounge. Supplies and utensils are basic. Guests should bringing their own detergents and toiletries.

Great pool.
2 bedroom suite tired. Worn couches. Stained carpets.
Dishwasher broken.
Great location.
Quiet.
Only issued one set of keys which is challenging for a family.
Very disappointed. Hope this place because it had a pool and a spa. Nowhere on the website or booking conditions or any email did they inform me that the pool and spa are currently under renovations made disappointing trip particularly book this place for the extra large size pool..
Unit was perfectly spacious. Did have any internal laundry which was great after travelling for quite a few days units a little out of town about a 20 minute walk to town close to Marina and cafes though.
Would’ve appreciated a heads up for some sort of communication regarding the pool be closed and even an offset of some sort of credit towards the booking.
Stayed for 3 nights in a really nice apartment with individual touches , nice furnishings the only down side was the shower. It was over a small bath that was not very wide making it awkward to wash properly.
If the bath/shower was replaced with a walk in unit the Apartment would tick all the boxes.
The first apartment they put us in had a shower over bath. This is not acceptable because of my medical conditions and they did assure us that we had a walk in shower. They put us in another apartment which was quite good. Then we had to move to another suite for the last night so most of our last day was moving to another building.
Overall the place was good, had my own carport space to park under which is great. Apartment was a decent size. Only thing I’ll fault is the cleaning. My toilet wasn’t cleaned. The was 💩 on the side and it needed a good scrub. I had to go out and get something from Woolies to clean it. When you’ve done a long drive the last thing you want to do is clean the toilet in your room you’re paying good money to stay in…
The unit was nice and spacious. However, the noise from above unit was not ideal and when you sleep in a different bed, you expect it to be comfortable (as this is the most important thing). The bed was absolutely horrible. Both my husband and I had sore backs from the experience. Shame, because the unit was a great size and the pool area was great too,
