Very good

This is a special place to stay and one needs to make decision on special location vs comfort and convenience.

Good location, snorkeling opportunities are great. Quiet island after daily tourists left. Morning snorkeling is great and almost a private island experience before ferries bring in day visitors.

In room WiFi was down during my stay. Cellular reception capped at 3G. Food choices are limited. Even with many Asian tourists, there was no practical Asian food on island. Lunch and dinner menu have limited choices.

Beautiful resort for the Great Barrier Reef. Good for accessibility

A part from the lack of wifi in room and the price, I liked everything

Lack of WiFi in room. No much food choice also expensive . Nothing to do after sunset.

Staff really helpful with information once they knew I was there for bird watching. Came to find me when interesting bird seen.

Buff-banded rails a real nuisance in outdoor eating areas. How about a few dogs as frighteners? It works against gulls at the Sydney Opera House!

Very poor

MASSIVELY OVERPRICED 3 STAR HOTEL. NOT A RESORT. DAY TRIPPERS ONLY.

Very little. Crew on Quicksilver boat did an outstanding job getting mobility impaired guest off the vessel during high tide and swells. Rooms had walk in shower/hand rails. Most of the staff are backpackers who are pleasant and obliging whilst the minority are a little work shy.

Overpriced 3 star hotel, not a resort. Pools had no access for guest unable to climb stairs. Main pool over-run by day trippers. 'Resort' pool has steep stairs. Paid $800 per day (with no breakfast included). Extras:+ $40pp breakfast (very poor even for an island)+ expensive restaurant meals. NO Internet in room (didn't drop out because it didn't drop in), only in guest 'lounge. TV no Netflix/Foxtel only free to air but not all channels. Grounds are dirty/walkways filthy. Short staffed - only one cleaner on hand on Saturday. The organisation is clearly trying to re-coup COVID losses.

Disappointing, didnt live up to our expectations

Our stay was not the exceptional experience we thought it was going to be.

I assumed, as we were on an island with no other facilities, that our AUD 850 per night included meals. Stupidly I did not scan down to page 3 of my booking details and read that no food was included for that price. Breakfast was an additional AUD 38 for a very average breakfast buffet. Dinner was a la carte but again around AUD 45. The food was ok, not what I expected from a resort which markets itself as this does. There were a couple of other places to eat lunch or dinner. The only breakfast alternative was the cafe that opened at 9, they had very sad sandwiches for AUD 12 Staff in the restaurant were nearly all young European, service in terms of speed was fine. Nobody made any effort to engage you in conversation, a job had to be done and it was. Dive shop staff were much the same, quite off hand, told you what you needed to know and nothing more. It felt like the adults had left the kids to run the show. We had planned to leave the island on the afternoon boat but changed and left on the early morning boat. These 2 nights were our way over budget treat !

Exceptional

Many open beaches and still had privacy when you wanted. Option for beach dining was great.

I think for people staying on the island drinks prices should be discounted and not at RRP.

Passable

Lovely location and friendly staff, poor food and lack of entertainment in evenings.

Location was beautiful and staff very friendly

Food was so overpriced and not even nice with a distinct lack of options. During the day you have enough to do, but after dinner there is nothing to do and the wifi is poor.

Exceptional

The few days were simply blissful and relaxing.

There was a good variety for breakfast. the food was well prepared and presented. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Marc from Germany served us coffee and cocktails and he was very friendly and open to conversation.

We know keeping wildlife out of a location like that is difficult. It was the only down side of our stay. They snuck into our room and caused a little mess as we didn't realize one had got in.
