What guests think

Across recent reviews, guests describe Akama Resort as offering very spacious, self-contained apartments with large balconies and views, in a convenient spot near the marina and Boat Club that works well for tours, dining nearby, and relaxed stays.

Many highlight friendly, helpful staff and practical facilities like a pool, spa, BBQ area, and secure underground parking with lift access. Recurring drawbacks include areas needing maintenance and occasional housekeeping misses, plus some traffic noise, an air-conditioning timer that resets overnight, and a reported cold 'heated' pool. Overall, expect roomy apartment-style comfort in a handy marina-side base, with some upkeep inconsistencies to keep in mind.

The hotel advertised a heated pool. The pool was absolutely freezing! Kids wouldn’t even go in the pool and it was the end of September. We found lolly wrappers under the bed. The main part of the esplanade wasn’t within walking distance (for a young family) and most restaurants closed super early, 8pm at the latest, some even 1pm. Rooms were modern and spacious with a nice view.

The Apartment was in a good location directly opposite the Boat Club where you could have meals or drinks. A lot of Tours left from this area as well. It was a great apartment, three bedroom with ensuite and a large deck with concertina doors. The living area was huge, a great place to stay. It does need a little maintenance mainly painting but we could see that the deck ceiling was recently replaced with new LED lights, not painted yet. So I assume they are trying to paint it and upgrade the lighting soon. We would definitely stay there again, good position, nice pool, great room.

We stayed in the deluxe penthouse suite. It was spacious and had everything we needed for a self contained stay. The view from the huge balcony was fantastic. The only downside we experienced was the carpark, if you have large car (like a landcruiser) you might not fit between the columns in the basement carpark.

As a couple we found the unit to be very comfortable and well located. Like most places it’s not brand new but pretty good really. We thought that the price was probably a little high for what it is but really we were very comfortable and enjoyed the location. We went to the Asian restaurant one night and it was terrific. Next night we joined friends at balaeno restaurant at the marina and highly recommend that too./ Yes we would go back again but would look next door for comparable pricing. The pool was great. Parking free and easy. The bed very comfortable.

Hotel was amazing, the view was spectacular!! The room itself though had a few items that needed fixing like the sliding door to the main room was broken, the sliding door to the lounge was extremely difficult to slide and the ensuite was very rough and had broken splatter rail and tiles throughout tho none of this spoilt the stay it would just be nice of the owners fixed this as they are renting a penthouse so it needs to be penthouse standard.

The Akama Resort is a high quality apartment resort. The rooms are large, spotlessly clean, with all you would need for a great family stay. The location is perfect for whale watching trips as it is only a 5 minute walk to Hervey Bay marina. There are several good quality restaurants and bars nearby.

The apartment was very spacious and had a well stocked kitchen utensils. Good view of the ocean and well lit with folding doors on the balcony. The blinds were bit out dated and didn't block light coming in the bedroom in early hours of the morning. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and the pool and spa.

I didn't like, that the ducted aircon was default set on a 6 hour timer, very hot in rooms once it turned off, having to reset at 1 or 2 am was very inconvenient Traffic noise was very loud when out on the balcony. The apartment was very roomy and comfortable, beds were super comfy.
