Pros:

This was my 3rd stay in here and I loved it! The staff were incredible – so friendly and helpful. The food is always delicious.

Cons:

Only downside: the location is a bit far from the airport, so you’ll need to pay for a shuttle.
Still, a great experience overall!

Pros:

Any island in norther Australia is going to be expensive as all equipment and consumables come by barge.
This accommodation was still very good value for money.
We had the warer view room with the wrap around balcony. It felt very private, yet close to the pool.
The extensive continental breakfast was provided in the room and topped up daily. Yum.
There is an air-conditioner as well as a fan.
There was a really long desk in the room that could be used for work, eating or suitcases.
A new extra large tv for entertainment.
We really liked the restaurant meals - very large and filling with variety.
