    Rather noisy as people were wandering and shouting outside the doorway a lot. Northern Safari was cancelled - which was unfortunate in whale watching season. (We did go whale watching again instead).

    Nice sized room compared to the Hotel rooms we have booked before. Bigger kitchen but only a microwave in the unit - barbeques outside and downstairs.

    Don’t take the cheaper Micat ferry unless you want a 2km walk through the sand with your bags. No option of a transfer either.

    Great location. Lots of activities to do.

    After a few days I was really bored with the limited food choice.

    The resort has many activities to keep you busy. We especially enjoyed the whale watching cruise and the wild dolphin feeding was a magical experience for my children.

    The tiles in A block are very 1970s as is the carpet square. It's also shedding and unravelling. The tiles are in good condition although old, so could be overlooked, IF that square of carpet were to be removed and New Carpet (tiles) were to be fitted/installed. Dear Brett, the hair length doesn't compensate for the retreating hairline!

    1. We self catered as we booked the apartment style accommodation. So I can only say the meals were Fantasmegorical... 2. We managed very well with our Fabulous A block location and glorious picture window for winter warmth and magnificent outlook. 3. The excursions offered were great and we particularly enjoyed the performances delivered by Brett, he's a natural in that role. We were glad we did the Northern expedition with him. 4. We'd been Welcomed by Staff, smiling, hospitable and informative, smartly presented in Logo branded outfits. All readily identifiable. All neat and clean and tidy... until dear charming but scruffy Brett! 5. The layout and range of facilities are most amenable. 6. Unfortunately it was Pool maintenance time so those very inviting Day beds under the lovely big umbrella couldn't be utilised. But I awoke each day hoping...

    The room appeared to be quite neglected and dusty, especially in the less visible areas under the beds.

    The beach boasts clear, pristine water. The spa and pool are welcome additions. The staff provides helpful service.

    On the last day, the noise from slamming doors and music in the Kookaburra Lodge where we were staying was loud. (A wedding party.)

    Loved the location and food. Loved feeding the wild dolphins on the beach and exploring marine life in the glass-bottom boat. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

    Very accessible resort close to Brisbane

    We only found out about the works being carried out at the resort when we checked in. We subsequently had to endure building noise from 7.30am to 4pm each day. As the works were carried out in front of our apartment block, we also had full view of the trucks etc coming and going which is not our area of interest. The food choices were also disappointing, particularly since we were there between Easter Monday and Anzac Day when the resort was packed and there were queues everywhere. The grill was shut on both days as this is usually the weekdays it closes - makes no sense when it's really busy! Also, there were hardly any vegetarian options.

    We had a lovely view from our balcony across the water towards Brisbane. The resort is very accessible for someone with limited mobility. All staff members we encountered were very friendly.

    We stayed in a King Deluxe Room for 2 ppl, room has no crockery, cutlery ie plates, knife, fork or spoons for eating, toaster, chopping board or knife, these small inclusions would have made our stay a little more comfortable...maybe the resort could consider these inclusions for future guests or byo Dolphin feeding is crowded so get there early. Order, eat & drink early for breakfast, lunch & dinner as restaurants & bar run out of menu items.

    Friendly helpful staff, comfortable beds, clean, basic appointed accommodation with easy 75min transfer to island but you feel like you are miles from home.

    Beautiful location, poor management of the beach and wrecks

    Pros: Beautiful location Lovely beach with access to amazing diving/snorkelling Room was comfortable Ferry service was efficient and well run Cons: Location was beautiful but completely overrun with motorised vehicles of every sort As you walk on the beach you have to avoid quad bikes and cars. The eco centre has a photo of a turtle that was run over, but there has been no effort to prevent this from happening Once you get to the wrecks, you have to dodge huge boats (there were 14 there on one of our swims) and jet skis. Why is there no boat exclusion zone? Why isn’t the safety of swimmers prioritised? Some of the boats are engaged in fishing, which is known to increase the risk of shark interactions for any swimmers in the area. The dolphin feeding is a few seconds of interaction amongst several hundred people lined up. Not an authentic wildlife experience. Overall: a beautiful site that lacks any regulation to prevent ecological damage, and fails to provide a safe environment for swimmers/divers.
