This was quite of a surprise how nice this place is. The island is beautiful, end even though it’s a small resort you can still keep your self busy for 2-3 days. We enjoyed so much a couple of afternoon at the Frotzy Bar, having some drinks and enjoying the view/sunset. It’s nothing fun y but more than enough to relax and enjoy. The restauran was also amazing, good quality and great test. We got to meet one of the chef, a very your passionate cook!

The resort has everything you need without feeling too much like a resort. Dinner at foxys and zephyr were great and staff were friendly and helpful. Excellent for a short break from cairns. Snorkelling from the beach was a highlight. Recommend bringing some food over for a picnic though

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Horrible from the start. Arrived ant 9am and no towels were provided despite it being an island meant to enjoy water activities. Room was ready at 3 and walked into a horror movie. From bugs to a moldy shower and an odor of furniture more than 20 years old. The air vents around the property were swimming in dust and the fans at FOXYS were rusted to the point of almost falling on guests. For the resort to charge almost 900$ for a room is absolutely ridiculous and insulting. We attempted to eat dinner at their “fine dining” restaurant which was far from “fine dining” as a local from Miami we know what fine dining is. You have to order a minimum of two dishes coming out to 68$ minimum evening if you’re just feeling peckish and order a dish they’ll try to charge you the 68$. Mind you the furniture at this “fine dining” establishment is rusted using plastic chairs never mind the servers are rude and dressed in Tshirts. Will definitely NOT be returning and will be spreading the word internationally.

Great resort on island. Read mixed reviews before booking but was happy with my stay in early May. On days I was there the Conditions were not great for snorkelling but there are daily activities you can do and I hiked all available trails. The lighthouse/summit track is very steep so was challenging but rewarding at top. Wifi was good but dropped one day so just asked reception for a new code and that worked. Friendly and helpful staff. Did turtle recovery centre tour and nature walk. Lovely pool area. Decent food at the bar area further away (forget the name). Beach was nice but beware scraping yourself on (dead or alive) coral! I agree with some reviews that they didn’t seem to advocate much environmental awareness (no recycling for example). A unique experience in a picturesque setting.

The location was good being close to areas to snorkle and close to the lighthouse and summit. The food at the restaurant was good but there needs to be one or two more food outlets. Checkin would be much better at 10am. 3pm is way too late ! If there is a late check in there needs to be free lockers for luggage and wet snorkling and wetsuits hangers rather than carrying wet gear until 3pm. A ferry at 3pm in addition to the morning one and 12:15 and 5pm ferry would be very much appreciated. Also the rooms have no reading bedside lights. The rooms also face a rock wall, rather than the ocean which is a big shame being on an island.

Overall, the place was beautiful. Our room was mediocre - didn't realize we had reserved one without windows. The snorkeling was great across from the turtle center. Nudey beach is beautiful but the snorkeling there is not nearly as good.

The property was remote and beautiful. It is a small, unpopulated tropical island that is a national park. There were very little food options at the two restaurants and no option to buy snacks or food. It was interesting that there was a full kitchen in the suite but no where to buy food to cook.

The experience was fine - definitely not the most hospitable experience, but it had the basics. I suppose the accommodation was inexpensive so you’re paying for what you’re getting. The island itself is beautiful and is worth visiting, especially to swim, snorkel, and hike.
