Beautiful place
Pros:

Lovely accommodation with an incredible pool and a beautiful garden. We were visited everyday by wallabies and lots of birds at sunset! Location is great and there's a bus station right in front. Room is comfortable with fully equipped kitchen and washing/dry machine which is very convenient.

Cons:

Just the instructions to find our cabin were not very detailed and it took us a while to find it while carrying our luggage.

Nicht zu empfehlen!
Pros:

Ein sehr schöner Garten, Wallabees und Kängurus jeden Abend vor der Terrasse 🫶🏼
Gute Busanbindung, direkt vor der Unterkunft

Cons:

Sehr schmutzige Stuhlpolster, schmutziger Vorhang, Schimmel am Duschvorhang. Schmutzige Wände, Eidechse in der Dusche.
Lieber ein bisschen mehr bezahlen und ein schönes Zimmer durch die Hotelrezeption buchen, statt von einem privaten Anbieter.
Wir haben reklamiert und der private Vermieter hätte uns die letzte Nacht stornieren lassen. Uns war dann aber der Umzug in ein anderes Hotel zu mühsam und zu kurzfristig… hatte bereits am ersten Tag reklamiert und leider keine Nachricht erhalten.

Great resort, terrible room. Pay a bit extra & book through resort for a MUCH better & cleaner room.
Pros:

The resort facilities and staff were fantastic.

Cons:

The room and linen smelt of mildew. There was visible mould on the curtains (which were falling down), in the bathroom and on the chair cushions. The was dust and dirt in the bathroom beside the vanity and washing machine and on the spare blankets and doona. I washed the sheets and towels on the second day as they did not smell fresh. I let the owner know and they told me it was clean and that my standards were too high. Would not recommend nor book this room again.

Fantastic holiday place. Wished to stay longer.
Pros:

Fantastic unit. It had everything we needed, plus more than expected.
The bonus snorkel gear was soooo handy. Wireless charger, pod coffee, beautiful & quiet.

Cons:

The $8 tiny ice cream bowl from the restaurant. Not at all the units issue though. Everything about the room was great! Nothing I didn’t like.

Passable
Pros:

Easy to get to and into. Very good washing machine and dryer

Cons:

Apart from finding 3 or 4 cochroaches every morning, we didn't get a feeling that the accommodation was cleaned thoroughly, photo shows cushions. Many mosquito bites by the morning. The photo shows just my knee. Also, we were 3 but table only had 2 chairs.

3 nights, mum with 2 children
Pros:

The room was perfect, very handy having a washing machine and tumble dryer in the room very well equipped just add milk and washing powder you would have it all.

Cons:

I would say Personally didn't like the memory foam mattress on the bed to soft for me it gave me a bad each morning. The memory pillows are to big and chunky plus im likely allergic to them too (latex) luckily there was one different pillow which I took on.

Being easter weekend I guess we were lucky the restaurant was open fri sat and sunday not sure why it wasn't open on mon am?
However every time I ordered over breakfast and dinner 2 nights they had ran out of a sauce or bun or couldn't get to the icecream cos closed kitchen already! Sorry sorry sorry I heard alot.
These things happen I know I didn't complain the staff were doing there best!
Although I did get over charged they said surcharge I said yes I understand but that's still alot I asked for the receipt they had charged me for a meal I didn't want because they wanted to give me sour dough bread instead of a brioche bun for my chicken slider! I said no I don't like sour dough I didnt enjoy my toast this morning. Thought they took it off then I asked for another kids meal as I didn't want the over cooked steak again. Refunded cash no problems. Sorry sorry.
Didn't enjoy the cibata garlic bread too hard.
Didn't enjoy the sour dough toast to hard.
Nutragrain on the menu was not the nutragrain as we knew it. They did change the cereal for us my little one turned his nose up lol.
All our meals came out seperately. One child's meal, then about ten mins later the other kids meal seems they gave us someone else's child's meal as they had another of what first child had. Then my steak eventually cane out after 2 sauces they didn't have by the time I got it it was overcooked!
Restaurant Spoilt it abit for me.
But I wanted somewhere I didnt need to bring my own food or cook.
Which it had except mon closed missed our breakfast. And boys were sad they missed out on there last go at tennis reception was closed too.
But we enjoyed the pool.

A nice little hideaway if you want a complete rest
Pros:

Location was very good, kitchenette was great and had a good fridge, washing machine and clothes dryer. Pool and area around it were lovely.

Cons:

Name of property was a bit misleading - it was labelled Magnetic Island Resort and it was actually Amaroo. Took us a while to find it. No receptionist on Sundays It took a while to get in to the unit. A shame that the restaurant “Up the Garden Path” was closed on Monday and Tuesday. The menu was not the same as the menu online.
