Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Oaks Port Stephens Pacific Blue Resort is favored for its spacious one-bedroom lagoon apartments, featuring kitchen and laundry facilities. Many guests appreciate direct pool access from their rooms, especially swim-up rooms, and the expansive wrap-around pool. While some have mentioned stair-only access to certain second-floor rooms being inconvenient with heavy luggage, the resort's proximity to shops, including a large shopping mall within a 10-minute walk, is a definite plus.

balcony access modern room bedroom shutter lounge seating

the wrap around pool is amazing! our room was a swim up room with access straight from the balcony into the pool. the room was modern minimalist and was super clean. the guy at the front desk reception was lovely.

light streams its way through the bedroom shutters so i brought a mask.

fantastic resort stay!

great air-conditioning ample space clean room

the one-bedroom lagoon apartment was beautifully sized for my stay. it had kitchen and laundry facilities. the room was clean and well presented and the air-conditioning in both the lounge area and bedroom was great! i found ample space in the walk in robe for all my clothes.

my 2nd floor room was stair access only. this was tricky as my luggage was heavy.
