This place is a very casual, family friendly place to stay and explore, staff are very welcoming and love teaching the kids about the reef, And the surrounds, excellent hike up to the summit of the island, "7 and 10 year old got up" albeit, pack some water. Had a great stay and explored the island over 3 days and loved the experience.... Definitely coming back!

The natural beauty of the island, the snorkelling from shore and the size of the suites are great. The resort itself is quite run down and needs a lot of TLC.

One bedroom with attached dungeon.

The "two bedroom suite" was a beautiful one bedroom suite with an adjacent (but securely connected) dungeon that faced a walkway. You could not open the curtains without full exposure to all. Ok to put the kids to sleep in, but that's it. Don't go there with another couple. Also should mention the way overpriced Zephyr restaurant. Save your money and get a burger at Foxy's. Having said all that, and knowing what I know now, I'd still go back. Lots of great people in a beautiful setting. Oh, andca shout out to the glass bottom boat tour guide with the big eyebrows.

Island beachside accommodation

It was everything I expected. Staff were helpful and knowledgeable. Even managed to find a relative of nemo. Although they said WiFi was only available in common areas I did manage to get a bit in my room. They also provided a clothes airer for swimwear.

Lovely island and snorkelling especially to the left of the bar/food area. Limited selection of menu options in bar. Must walk round to nudey beach. Guided snorkel trip - saw more from the shore. Snorkelling guide insisted you jump off side of boat into sea, not suitable for novice or new snorkellers. Should be allowed to use steps going down slowly and back wards. Would not recommend. You are not supposed to take alchohol onto island yet we were on holiday and the bar was closing at 8pm and restaurant bar 8.30 - very disappointing. Island shop a joke - not very good selection only muffins, sausage rolls, crisps, ice cream, refreshments, good range of fresh sandwiches though. As many nic naks as food items. We left the island a night early because we wanted to go on a snorkelling outer reef tour.

Everything was well managed. The snorkelling was great with a good variety of fish and corals. We were able to swim with the turtles too. I am 77 and had no problem with any aspect of this experience. We also went to Green Island and I preferred Fitzroy.
