Disliked: Staff & service
Most staff were lovely, others acted as if you were an inconvenience , all the staff that shared their knowledge regarding the living reef were fantastic as was the entertainment staff. The girl manning the snorkeling desk at lovers cove was also very friendly and helpful on 02/05/2024. The girl making coffees was snappy and unfriendly on the 2nd and 3rd May. In addition, the young man on reception checking us out didnt’t smile or ask us if we enjoyed our stay. He left us with an awful last impression. We had paint peeling of our bath and the plug hole was blocked with peeled paint when we arrived. Also the curtains in our room were ripped. We made a complaint about the bath, however nothing was done.

The choices by the star rating are difficult to give a fair review, stayed Fri&Sat night , Fri we had “Fresh Local catch of the day” that was anything but, they removed from the bill Thank you, Sat we had “Slow cooked Rib at infinity and Oysters that was fantastic, great meal, the staff were all pleasant and helpful, we had a trip to the Spa that was fantastic, the bad part came to our Room , we booked a Superior King Sea View so we could have the doors open and enjoy fresh sea air and views , we were so looking forward to that , sadly the Resort SUPPORT SMOKING IN THE ROOMS , we complained 4 times over 2 days re the guests below our Room as they continually SMOKED CAMEL FAGS - MORNING , Day & NIGHT , even though we complained, nothing changed they continued to smoke at will when they felt like it even though we asked them to stop and requested the management to assist who said they would ????, there was no change , so we felt like we couldn’t open our door ever as the would fill our room Absolutely disgusting , sadly the Resort should have more control and not support smoking in the Rooms , this pretty much destroyed the weekend away is a lovely place , there was no follow up from any management even though we supplied photos and room numbers , so I guess it’s just too bad it’s your problem, not the selfish, non thinking a hole who defies thinking of others , as a non smoker you have no rights ….. be careful booking this Resort ,as we saw guests smoking on the pool edges

The island is basically only half open to what it was back in 2014. Dining options are limited and for some reason they have moved the SUP and Kayak areas to the other side of the island furthest from where the drinks and eating areas are. Staff are friendly and accommodating and the rooms are clean.

Amazing stay outside the busy season. Beautiful Whitsunday surroundings and friendly staff. Main complex has been renovated well. The only two points to criticise where a slightly unloved other end of the island and an unimaginative breakfast buffet, that has lost its charm after the second day. Room for improvement here. But otherwise: we loved it

Pool area is relaxing and having the “living reef” is great to spend time at. Not much to do at night so be prepared for a quiet vacation. Staff were very nice and efficient. If you get windy weather it is very unlikely you will be able to use the aquatic equipment. Maybe that goes without saying. We had an ocean view room but couldn’t use the balcony because it was so windy. The hotel could use a really good vacuuming and room detailing. Food was hit and miss. For the price, I felt it should have been better.

Such a beautiful island. Although our stay being fairly short we found we had heaps of access to many different facilities including the gift shop, pools, restaurants/bars etc. The free complimentary buffet breakfast was much appreciated and the friendly staff made us made us feel welcomed :) many thanks, room 1313
