just off the main road and well maintained resorts. saw a lot of families with kids playing around.

We stayed for just one night while we were visiting Phillip Island for the Penguin parade and other wildlife experiences. It was very handy for the penguins, being just a 20 minute or so drive, and much less expensive than staying on Phillip Island itself. We received a friendly welcome on arrival. The room was very spacious, comfortable and well equipped. We had a fridge, microwave, toaster, tea/coffee. Everything was very clean and well maintained. Some reviews have said that it’s quite dated, but we thought it must be fairly modern! There was a shared bbq, and reception gave us a box containing foil, tools and cleaning wipes. We had a table and chairs outside our door, but it was too hot to sit there on our visit! There was a supply of drinks and snacks in the room, which were for sale at $2 each. San Remo has a few cafes and restaurants. There is pelican feeding at noon every day by the pier.

We decided to visit the San Remo Hotel for dinner, The menu was diverse. I had braised ox cheek, with mashed potato and broccoli. The ox cheek was very tasty and very large. It has an Asian flavoring, in particular star anise. It was, to my mind, a little sweet but that was more than offset by my pint of lager, which was pleasantly bitter. My dining partner had a seniors meal. fish and chips, which was so large that I helped her finish her serve. It was a very substantial meal, and very enjoyable. The dining room was busy and the San Remo Hotel was one of the few eateries open on Monday evening.

Very basic motel- not good enough even for that. I usually don't mind a basic motel, that is if everything works and it is comfortable. The heating didn't work properly and we struggled to keep the chill off the air in the room. The two beds in the room had one blanket each -winter you would think there would be more. In the cupboard there was only one spare blanket for one bed. The outside lights were on all night and the window coverings were unable to keep out the light, especially the window above the door. There was nothing to wash the dishes with even though the sign in the room advised you'd have to wash your dishes (BTW I don't have an issue with washing my dishes). I only booked this motel because there was nothing else available. Definitely would not stay here again.

10 “BIG4 ingenia Holiday Phillip island” From when we arrived early they let us check in early we’re super friendly and knowledgeable of local things to do and weather which was important for our stay, also the room when we arrived was better then some 4 star hotels we had stayed out great quality cooking appliances and utensils as well as washing machine and dryer all in A1 condition and comfy beds in both rooms highly recommend and we will definitely be back no more staying at overpriced places around the island this place was amazing and had kids playground games rooms with arcade games and even a jumping pillow for all age kids couldn’t recommend this place enough even had separate kitchen rooms and bbq area for people staying in campers or caravan without those facilities in them and clean showers and toilets if you haven’t tried big4 ingenia definitely give them a try we will be back

Well stocked kitchen with great views. Very clean and very functional. Nice simple rooms and ping pong table. Good information about the surrounding area. Beautiful balcony and clean bathrooms and showers. Easy to check in if you’re late checking in and easy to check out if you’re leaving super early like I was.

We stayed 3 nights, 2 adults and two boys aged 8 & 9, in one of the cabins. We knew we weren’t going to the Sheraton and maybe some are better than others but #5 was well below par. The cooking facilities were very poor. One small saucepan without a lid, an old, buckled, dirty aluminium frypan and an electric frypan (the underneath of which was covered in fat). We weren’t planning on cooking gourmet food but there wasn’t even a salad bowl!! There was built up dirt and grime around the hot plates and sink. The bathroom was in very poor condition. All the cabinetry is swollen from steam/water damage and in need of replacement. I had the misfortune just before we left to look under the couch for a missing shoe and oh dear! It’s a long time since a vacuum or broom has been under there!! Outside the railing around the deck is falling apart, indicative of the age and general deterioration. During our stay the pool was a disgrace. Green and murky on arrival on Friday afternoon, it was closed for the whole day on Saturday for much needed maintenance and reopened on Sunday. Whilst the green had gone it was far from crystal clear. The old, cracked plastic chairs were in keeping with the general lack of care and upkeep we experienced. Interestingly upon checkout the usual question of “did you enjoy your stay” wasn’t asked. Perhaps they’ve been trained not to for fear of the answer? I’ve lived in Victoria all my life (I’m 60 years old) and this was my first ever visit to Phillip Island. The island is lovely but next time we will stay elsewhere.

We drove out to Phillip Island for see the penguins and chose the Ramada to overnight instead of driving back to Melbourne. When we drove through the entrance and down the road to the office we were surprised how large the resort was. The staff at checkin were very friendly and helpful. The same applied at checkout. We had a three bedroom unit and it reminded us of a mobile home in the US. Inside was a full size kitchen, living room and two bathrooms. Overall the condition was average but served its purpose for our one night. If we had more time then the resort offered a lot of activities such as walking trails, hot spring pool, tennis courts, gyms, BBQ area and more. A restaurant was also onsite and located next to the office.

We booked a 4-person room with three beds, two of which were small beds in a suite. The room was relatively clean and quiet, and the front desk staff was also quite enthusiastic. We went to see the penguins, and he introduced us to the route and other basic information. It took 15 minutes to drive Minutes to see penguins! Quite satisfied!
