The hotel is a hidden gem on a remote and preserved island, the only resort offering a unique experience nestled between the inner and outer reefs of the Great Barrier Reef. The location is spectacular, with WiFi only available in the main area but with breathtaking views and access to stunning marine life like giant clam gardens. The staff not only met but exceeded all our expectations with their incredible attention to detail and friendly service. Dining was extraordinary with personalized experiences like having turtles delivered to our room after snorkeling. While the facilities are top-notch, the price may be a bit high for some and the WiFi limitations could be a drawback.

The resort offers modern, minimal but very comfortable rooms with a wonderful porch/deck right on the beach. The sparkling wine served warm was a bit disappointing, but overall, a great stay to start our holiday!

Wow, what an incredible experience! The hotel is just stunning, overlooking a private beach that we couldn't wait to visit as soon as we arrived at the resort. The rooms, part of the main building along the beach, are absolutely beautiful, spacious, and luxurious. The service was beyond friendly and helpful, seamlessly navigating us through the resort and taking care of all our needs. The location is old-fashioned in a good way and very special, being the only resort on the island, combined with impeccable service, making it extraordinary for exploring the Great Barrier Reef. The dining experience was delightful, from having a wine with a cork to crisp salads, delivered in a private and relaxed manner. The facilities were top-notch, offering everything we needed for a perfect stay.

I was delighted to stay at this resort overlooking a private beach, with beautiful, clean rooms elegantly decorated; though it was disappointing that the sparkling wine was served warm. The location is truly remote and preserved on Lizard Island, offering everything I could hope for.
