"Our stay at Marina Resort exceeded expectations. The renovations are amazing, the hotel looks and feels brand new. Our room was spacious, spotless, and well equipped, with a huge, incredibly comfortable bed. We had beautiful weather and spent most of our day relaxing by the pool on the lounge beds. Highly recommend Marina Resort!"

"Our aloha cabin was really lovely and comfortable. It was also super clean. The kids loved the pools and waterslide. We loved the whole park. There is a bowling club next door (food not great) or cheeky dog restaurant across the road (food great) which was handy but I would have loved a cafe on site or even just coffee. That was the only thing missing for me. Also if you could pick this park up and put it in shoal bay that would be even better cos I didn’t love the location."

"Absolutely loved our stay! The reception staff was helpful and just lovely, bringing towels to my kids when she heard they were in the pool. The apartment we stayed in was the 3-bedroom apartment. It was quite dated, however clean, and there was everything we needed, really. Great positon to go for walks to various beaches that surround the area and close to Nelson Bay."
