We (2 adults and 2 children aged 7 and 9) went to Long Island in December 2011 with another couple who have kids the same age. The island is in a beautiful location, I recommend snorkelling over the reef on the southern side of the island away from the main beach. The accommodation was basic but suitable for a family...

We stayed in here in Dec 11 during Xmas period using Spreets voucher which works out about $100 per night and still think it's bad value for money. 1- Check in and Housekeeping service Upon check in, we were told the room is not yet ready.

You need to consider what you want from your holiday before booking Long Island. The Island itself is truly beautiful. The resort sits in a sheltered bay with spectacular views across turquoise water to Day Dream Island and the Mainland. I cannot say how unfriendly the staff were.

With low expectations, we set out for our... More

I'm not sure what all the negative reports are about after staying at Long Island for 5 nights at the beginning of January. What a beautiful and serene place with plenty to do if that's how you want to spend your holiday. Everything from jetski's to tube rides, walking tracks, reef trips, tennis, kayaking and mini golf - you name... More

After reading some of the reviews on here I have come to the conclusion that there are some really unhappy people in the world that love to complain about insignificant stuff. When we stayed there would have been around 200-300 people on the island. There was a lot of families and all appeared to be having a great time. We... More
