We loved the living reef, underwater observatory, educational talks and amazing staff. Breakfast was great, with plenty of options, and restaurants nice. A cafe serving sandwiches and salads for lunch would be a great addition. The gardens, pools and buildings are really well maintained, with lovely walks around the Island. An enjoyable 4 night stay!

No cash allowed to be used anywhere, only 2 restaurants as nice as they were. 1/2 the island is abandoned, one tiny place to amoke or vape. No room serves. It is an old resort, but us beautifully tropical It was very relaxing, but not worth the money

Cold

We were extremely unlucky with weather, it was rain and strong winds during our stay. Unfortunately heater option was locked in my hotel room. Working fans were everywhere in common areas so there was also cold. This is not the best place for snorkeling. It is better to take tours to outer reef from here. The island itself is beautiful and hotel is great, many pools, reef, comfy mattresses, great views. Wallaroos, cockatoos, curlews everywhere, they all are so funny.
