10/10 Excellent
"We spent 6 nights in a Deluxe Ocean View room. The room was renovated, clean and with a fabulous view over the Coral Sea. The staff were all fabulous, from room cleaning staff, reception and restaurant staff. We cannot wait to return in the future. Thank you."

8/10 Good
"Nice 4 night stay. Room was comfortable-no tv reception but a good on demand movie selection for relaxing in the evening. Food was good -pizzas and the Christmas is July buffet especially. Breakfast by the reef each morning was enjoyable. We saw lots of wildlife -whales, dolphins and even a sea turtle. There were lots of kids (school holidays)."
