  This is a great property at a great location. It is getting old and things are looking a little worn (toilet buttons broken etc.) but the price is good considering what the Ramada is charging for similar apartments in the same building. I would have liked Winning Holidays to have been more honest about the beds not being made - not even the main one. I made explicit requests to have a 2 king singles made into a double (all of which were lost) and at no stage was I told that none of the beds actually get made. At my final request on the way down to Shoal Bay, they did make sure the linen pack was for a double and the beds were pushed together. I can reluctantly make beds but I'd like to have known in advance. Transparency is important in this business. The windows were also quite dirty and I had to thoroughly clean them to enjoy the view - which is excellent. Winning also provided a keycard to a different room at the same property which took nearly an hour to sort out with the help of Ramada staff - who didn't actually have to help, as they don't manage this apartment. Winning did answer the emergency number but couldn't really do much. Issuing a correct key really is core business for an accommodation provider with whom there is little other contact and this shouldn't have happened. So - a good stay overall once the issues were sorted.

  This is a great little apartment with fantastic views over the bay. Generally, the apartment is in great condition, and very clean. It’s well located for lift access too. We have stayed here on multiple occasions due to the views and balcony access.

  The property was clean and in a great location. Overall we had a great time but a few things were a bit annoying. We were given vague directions to the car park (third or fourth floor?) and zero instructions on which floor our apartment was on. The only other instructions were to put the bins out when we left. We weren’t sure where but managed to find some bins in the car park. Maybe some printed instructions with the keys might help? Take your own garbage bags, dishwasher powder and liquid, toilet paper and soap as you are only given a day or so’s supply and we were there for five days. We were only given one key which was a little tricky with 2 couples. The couple in the bedroom facing on to the balcony said that the air conditioner from the shops over the road kept them awake most of the night as it kept starting up and shutting down all night.
