I was traveling with my husband and 2 children age 7 and 4. We rented a 2 bedroom villa with a plunge pool privately through an agent rather than from the resort. We didnt have anything to do with the reception staff at the resort so cant make comment on them but we found the food at the restaurant second... more

After hearing rave reviews from work colleagues we thought we would check this place out. The resort is new, very clean and has large beautiful rooms. However that is probably it’s only selling point. The resort is not within walking distance from any beaches, but rather directly across the road from the generic and bland local shopping complex. We paid... more

After an easy drive from Sydney, we arrived to find the most luxurious resort with accommodation to match. The rooms were very well appointed and exceptionally clean, as were the bathrooms and kitchen. The facilities in the resort were great, and so we were never short of things to do. If more relaxation was beckoning, sitting on the verandah overlooking... more

At the time of the booking I was not told of any cancellation policy, but I was asked for my... more

This is what you get when you stay at the Oakes Pacific Blue Resort Port Stephens N.S.W Out of the 5 rooms we had booked. The spa did not work in 1 room. The wind howled through one bedroom window all night as it would not seal. The bathroom sink is blocked not real nice when brushing teeth. The clothes... more

Went with the family of 4 , the place is great, very clean ( being something i am very particular about ) , well maintain , good location. We cooked on 2 nights, had no issue with that either. Just stay in this one, hard to fault. more

I have written a previous review about this hotel and my review was glowing. However, I think the best way to experience this resort is to go self-catering and avoid the staff if possible. The service is terrible. We had to change rooms due to a malfunctioning air con and we did not even get a sorry when we returned... more
