Stunning Ocean Views

I stayed in a one-bedroom apartment that was not only spacious and clean but also had a lovely balcony with amazing views of the ocean. There was a comfortable bed and even a bath and shower in the bathroom, making my stay incredibly enjoyable. Waking up to the sound of the waves was the highlight! It truly felt like a slice of paradise.

Comfortable and Cozy

My room was well-appointed with crisp linens and a bed that was just the right amount of firmness for a great night's sleep. I appreciated the air conditioning that kept me cool during warm nights, and the quiet atmosphere allowed me to relax completely. Overall, a fantastic bedroom experience!

Excellent Bathroom Amenities

The bathroom in my apartment was well-maintained with plenty of hot water and high-quality towels provided. I particularly enjoyed the spacious layout, and the selection of toiletries added a nice touch. After a long day exploring, a relaxing soak in the tub was just what I needed.

Blissful Poolside Relaxation

The resort features a lovely pool area that provided a great escape after days spent at the beach. The area was clean and well-kept, allowing me to unwind and soak up the sun. I also loved the close access to the beach, which made it easy to alternate between enjoying the pool and the ocean.

My stay at Rose Bay Resort was nothing short of amazing! The location is breathtaking, with stunning views over the bay and direct access to a beautiful beach just steps away. The apartment I stayed in was spacious, allowing for a comfortable and relaxed experience. Bronnie and Paul were incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring I had everything I needed for a fantastic getaway. The only downside was that I wished I had planned for a longer stay, as this place truly felt like paradise.

My stay at Rose Bay Resort was a delightful experience, offering a peaceful escape right on the beach with beautiful views. The apartment was spacious and well-equipped, and the staff were incredibly accommodating and friendly. However, I did find that the dining options nearby were quite limited, and the resort is a bit removed from the main township of Bowen, which may not suit everyone's preferences. Overall, it was great value for a tranquil getaway.

7.4/10

The Rose Bay Resort has breathtaking views and a spacious room, making for a pleasant stay. However, it feels more like a basic motel than a resort, with limited amenities and some rooms needing maintenance. The location is a bit isolated, requiring a car to access shops, but the private beach is a beautiful addition. Overall, it's decent value for the views but not quite a full resort experience.

The resort lacks many typical amenities, like a restaurant or a larger pool area, but what is there is adequate for a few days.

I had a lovely stay at this resort with a beautiful beach right at my doorstep. The rooms were spacious and clean, providing a great view, but the service left something to be desired as the staff seemed inconvenienced by my arrival. While the location was peaceful, it was a bit remote from shops, which made the lack of dining options noticeable. Overall, it was a nice experience, although a few improvements in service and dining would enhance it further.

I had an incredible stay at this resort, ideally located right on the beach with no roads in between, which gave it a wonderfully serene feel. My apartment was spacious, well-equipped, and perfectly clean, making it hard to leave. The staff were always eager to help, adding to the overall welcoming atmosphere. However, a car is essential as the nearest restaurants and shops are a bit of a drive away. Overall, it was an excellent getaway with fantastic value for money.
