Very relaxing atmosphere and friendly staff. The prices once there, are a little steep for food and drinks. View from the room was beautiful and nice walk around the resort.

Resort is a bit tired and need of refurbishment. some bedding had stains. early closure of poolside dining was a disappointment on Sunday, most people still at the pool and unable to buy snacks.(Australia Day) Tom the duty manager was amazing when we had a dining issue at the restaurant. He was very client focussed, professional and polite. Overall we had a good time, apartment was spacious and clean

As we opened the door to our Boardwalk Studio, my partner, kids and myself were pleasantly surprised Although we spent a bit for various meals over 3 days we brought a degree of food and drink which we were quite comfortable being self sufficient Although it appeared the staff was under resourced, they did a good job On the Negative Upon paying fir two nights we were given a “nominated” birth for our 6m boat. Here is the problem, there is no harbour master to regulate moorings. My boat was not only physically untied by an owner of a larger vessel who took it upon himself to deliberately remove mine so he could park his larger boat but moved it 3 mooring spaces down AND worse tied it up against another total strangers boat Obviously without my permission I then had to walk upon another vessel to get onto my boat It was brought to managements attention yet being under staffed their only suggestion was to offer and call security which obviously would not have achieved anything

We stayed in an eco cabin and found it to be clean, spacious and comfortable. We loved being surrounded by trees and got to see lots of wildlife. The resort is old and does need some repair, which staff were attending to daily. We were there on a quieter week and found the environment very relaxing. Staff were friendly and helpful. When all facilities are up and running it will be even better.

We liked the location. The views from the room we’re excellent. The nature and wildlife were amazing. We didn’t like the lack of staff training, very slow service in all restaurants, lack of professionalism in reception and lack of communication between guests & resort; but that is more a reflection on management than in staff trying to do their best with obviously no formal training or instruction. Best staff were the skipper taking us across and the driver of the transport to the beach. Food was pretty good (Go chef!) and reasonably priced. Overall it was ok, it felt like a glamping holiday.
