A haven for kids! Plantation Island Resort was a dream come true for our five year old boy. The kids club is unreal, the staff are so fun and the nanny service was reliable and affordable. The highlight of the resort is the stunning setting, the reef around the resort is absolutely amazing with crystal clear water and only a 20min boat ride from Cloudbreak.
My husband and I managed to book in a nanny for our 18month old and score some amazing waves together by organising a private boat trip to the break… boats are much cheaper booked outside of the resort!!
The rooms were pretty basic and wouldn’t write home about the buffet but overall we loved our stay and will come back again with a big group.

An island paradise, Simply perfect. The island has everything you need, 3 restaurants & a snack bar, 4 pools & a giant sea inflatable
For the kids.
So many water sports available and snorkelling off the beach is magical with their own man made wreck at the far end of the beach.
Rooms are lovely and spacious, very clean and big bathrooms with the resorts own coconut shampoo and conditioner & body wash.
The newly renovated kids club is lovely with so many fun activities for the kids with a full kids buffet for dinner each day.
All day & night lots of activities for kids and adults, so you choose what works for you in your day.
Wifi is available in the restaurants but not in the rooms, So download some shows for the kids in case they get sick & need to rest in their room.
The pools are warm and never busy even in peak season. The children loved the pool with the slide and I loved the infinity pool.
The staff are all so friendly and helpful & will do anything to make your stay perfect.
We hired a nanny when our daughter was sick (15 per hour) and she was treated with love and care.
My 11 yr old son & I did the PADI beginner dive course, it was a great place to learn to dive off the warm shoreline then a deeper dive off the boat - the marine life was beautiful.
Highly recommend.
We had a wonderful 7 night stay and would love to return one day to this tranquil paradise.
Thank you to all the staff who made us smile every day. Service at its best.

Ocean view hotel rooms right near the water, perfect for early morning paddleboarding. Buffet dining not my thing but a la crate options worked well. Very relaxing stay.

The new renovations are fantastic along with the pool. Outlook is absolutely breathtaking. It’s just a shame the older part of Plantation hasn’t been updated as it pulls the overall down. We go there for the location, beach and stunning scenery

Not bad for a quick trip
Pros:Loved the variety of activities you could do and the fact that there were areas that you could escape to for peace and quiet.
Cons:The food options could be improved and the tour options booked out really quickly so perhaps they need to increase the availability.
Location:Water was fantastic and clean. Island hopping options were good. Weather was fabulous.
Rooms were clean and serviced daily. Food options were outrageously overpriced and were generally low end quality. Food at the restaurant was nice and atmosphere was more relaxing away from the general food areas but $240 for lobster was ridiculous. Had a great time snorkeling on the reefs and other water sports.
We were there for a wedding and the event was beautiful and well prepared.

Still Renovating
It appears that every time we have stayed at the island there is always renovations of some type going on. From my experience if you maintain as you go you don’t have to perform expensive renovations especially disrupting families on holidays.
