“From the time we entered the bobby, to the time we checked out, our entire experience at the Ramada Hope Island was awesome. The staff were both friendly and professional. Check in was quick and easy. The room was clean and comfortable, with a good view of the harbour. The room contained ambient amenities. It had a fridge under the sink with milk (no mini-bar items however).”
“Very friendly and helpful staff from reception to cleaners to cafe wait staff. Clean and spacious, comfortable room. View of pool and onto marina. Cafe lunch in the sun, with marina boardwalk; quiet, relaxing. Very good wheelchair access for cafe/restaurant and toilets; we took an elderly, wheelchair bound family member who is resident in an aged care facility nearby to lunch.”

“Its everything that it says in brochures and on website. It’s a must play if in the area.”
“My daughter and son in law had their wedding at the Links last Friday. It was the Best wedding we’d been to.
The staff were very helpful and friendly. The food was superb. Service amazing. They arranged everything from putting dry ice into the fountain in the reception area to an amazing fireworks display that went on for 15 minutes.
