Lauthala Bay Holidays from AU$1,859

Extremely friendly and helpful staff, setting the standard in Gold service.

Amazing place to experience “island vibes”. Great people, excellent location. Snorkelling, kayaking, sunsets, pool, bar, beach - all great! Some construction going on as of May 2026 until about Nov 2026. Might want to check with staff to try to stay further away. Food is fairly basic, but good and sufficient. Excellent stay for a few nights, highly recommend!

We had the most amazing honeymoon, from the get go we were greeted with smiles and hugs. The property was spectacular, ocean views from your room, at breakfast, lunch and dinner. We arranged for massages and had the pleasure of a couples massage in the open air of the island. Dolphin Island is a truly special place not just because of its natural beauty but because of the wonderful people that work there. Dawn was gracious attended to our needs and most importantly allowed us to make the island our home away from home. The staff worked to accommodate whatever we needed and in all reality we didn’t need much. The Island and the people really made our honeymoon special, and we can only help to return again someday!

Place, it's great if you are looking for a peaceful, relaxing time, and if you are ok with booking activities offered by the resort on the island. Otherwise, you will have to pay for transportation every time a boat is needed, and you will have to coordinate with other boats and jump from one to the other in the water, which could be fun, scary, or impossible for others. Just be aware. Plus, of course, you will have to pay both sides to do that for you. And there is a schedule: if your activities end too late after 6pm, you will have to book a place on the mainland to stay, and good luck getting a taxi if you don't book in advance! Best sunrise I have ever seen! Tho! Also, be aware of the food that is limited to what they offer.

Good view, Staff is very friendly
