Commercial resort popular with families and school parties Our K block room was smart and recently renovated with great views out to see. Food was very cafeteria like. Fried and little healthy options. Oriental restaurant was better. The activities and excursions are its positives. Enjoyed sunset trip to the wreck. The snorkelling along the reef was exciting, if challenging, given the strong current and hidden sunken wrecks, just below the surface. Dolphin feeding has become too busy. There must have been nearly 100 people queueing up on the beach for two seconds, feeding a fish to this enormous wild animal. It’s still a surreal experience however. Sadly the trips to view the rest of the island and it scenery were not available, which was very disappointing. Would have booked a different time and worth planning them ahead and it was a key element we wished to do.

We enjoyed our stay. One piece of advice- if you take your car, it is a super long walk to the actual resort from the northern carpark. We were lucky that we met a staff member called Normie that helped us out but others werent so lucky. I also had to beg reception to help me get back to my car with luggage, rain, a tired 7 year old and an injured wrist, as they only provide luggage transport if you are coming on the passenger ferry. Overall though, there is so much to do and a fair few dining options that cater for fussy kids. We did enjoy our stay and would come back.

Amazing location! A few umbrellas or shade netting on the beach (say 20) with some beach chairs, perhaps a beach bar would enhance the experience. Landscaping could be updated. The netting at the beach looks tacky, other options could perhaps be explored. Fire and Stone is disappointing with half the menu not available. The sunset deck is unavailable to visitors for sundowners when functions are on. Milk in the room fridge was past due date.

Amazing setting. Beautiful beach. Feeding the dolphins was an amazing experience. A lot of tours available but pricey. We did the ATV activity and it was excellent. We snorkeled the wrecks on our own without any trouble. Not much choice for dining which was a disappointment.

The resort is overrated. If it wasn’t for the dolphin feeding, it wouldn’t be worth the trip. Our room was old and had a strange smell to it. It took ages to get the water temperature right in the shower - turn the hot or cold knob ever so slightly and you end up with either super cold water or super hot water. A lot of light still comes in with the blinds down so you get woken up early. Housekeeping is not included. The property advertises free wifi but that’s only 200mb a day. Expected far better for the price we paid. Overall the resort feels dated and not luxury at all.
