Lovely hotel, rooms really nice! No wi fi tho, only in bar and that closed at 10pm, staff friendly, pool looked lovely but didn't get a chance to use it! Have to drive or get bus into town but it's on main road in!

Just returned from three nights at the newly renovated family rooms at the Ramada Resort and could not fault it. The rooms have been re-configured from three adjoining rooms to make one huge apartment with two bathrooms and fully equiped kitchen with all new fixtures and fittings etc. There was ample room for our twin teenagers to spread out in a room of their own overlooking the pool and our youngest to have his double bed sofa pull out in the living area and our huge king bed in the main room with ensuite all overlooking the pool with sliding door access, room 136 D block. The restauraunt was excellent value for money and the huge buffet breakfast was part of the great accommodation rate (which turned out to be cheapest booked direct, also a handy hint learnt in that we came home a day earlier than expected due to flooding forecasts for our return journey and because we booked directly a refund was available)The staff were amazing, nothing was too much trouble even a bottle of complimentary bubbles on arrival as we were celebrating a wedding anniversary. Despite pouring rain the resort looked beautiful and the gorgeous rainforest setting is a welcome change from the white concrete and stainless steel resorts. The shuttle bus into town runs all the time for small change and even caught the cane train home on the Sunday from across the road. A renovation well done Ramada you are to be congratulated!

We stayed from the 9th January till the 15th January 2013 in a refurbished 2 bedroom apartment with 2 bathrooms. Huge rooms and very comfortable, this is my second time to stay here and nothing has changed ( great location with resort situated in a rain forest setting, large pool, swim up bar, large out door bistro under cover ). The staff are very friendly and are only to pleased to assist with your needs.
Breakfast meals are buffet style with plenty of variety, usually the evening meals have a special theme meal as well as full menu. Meals are good value.

The resort is only a short walk to 4 mile beach, but unfortunately unable to swim at this time of year due to the stingers.

Would definitely recommend this resort, thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We had travelled up with friends from Sydney after a short stay in Cairns. We had managed to book 3 nights via Scoopon which provided us with some great vouchers to use during our stay. The rooms were immaculate, crisply finished and clean. The pool, swim up bar, spa and restaurant were also to a similar standard with the majority of staff within each department being more then helpful and friendly.
The only points to mention where the hotel of this standard lets itself down is the restricted access to Wifi only located in the bar and pool area and not within any of the rooms. Also if you know that you will be having a private party which was located poolside specifically for private owners then why not provide extra staff to deal instead of using core staff who were dealing with PAYING hotel guests. These guests were then having to wait to be served drinks/food due to the staff dealing with the private owners, something which could easily have been avoided if more staff had been provided. Also maybe separate shower facilities for guests to use after they have checked out instead of squeezing into 1 located in the ladies toilet near reception, just a thought.
Special thanks go to the restaurant manager Michael where nothing was a problem. Also to Shauna behind the bar who was always busy but still managed to crack a smile and serve amazing cocktails. To the english chap in training whom we didn't get his name, thank you. The reception team were always on hand to help. Our only other concern was Stevie in the restaurant, everything was a problem or to difficult to deal with..shame. We will definitely recommend this hotel to our friends and family.
