Pool loungers and Life Saving equipment were covered in bird droppings when we were there and remained that way for five days. Birds were inside the restaurant and jumped up onto a woman's plate. Three birds swooped and bite my hand to get my sandwich when I was in the open air lobby. The island smelled of bird droppings--- we... more

Take the package deals for food. The menu nights are very ordinary and for the kids buffet on those nights terrible. The rest of the time the buffet is great.

Heron Island was alot of fun. Accomodation is not luxury but bright and airy and attractive. We had a room with a balcony and seaview that was lovely. The island is perfect for families but also very nice for couples. It is quite possible to get away from the crowds except perhaps if at mealtimes and if you want to... more
