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.

Loved our 3 days at Tangalooma . Rooms were Clean and comfortable Facilities were great , Loved that we could get a great coffee most hours of the day . Beautiful walk to the ship wrecks, loved the dolphin feeding. Staff were great. The only thing that was disappointing was the cold dry Burger and Chips I took back to the staff member who said did I want a replacement or a refund. I said I’d like a replacement if it comes out hot and the staff member said she couldn’t guarantee that so obviously I got a refund . This did not ruin my holiday but that clearly was not the answer I was expecting .

This stunning property was just what i needed for a solo 3 day stay! My room was Devine, with beautiful views and the ocean so very crystal clear. The food in the beach bar is very expensive though, and my meals average for the price. I'd suggest the Malaysian restaurant... meals were fresh and hot! Activities were endless. but for me it was all about relaxing, ad that was achieved!
