Upon our evening arrival reception was closed, I couldn't even enter the lobby and had no idea how to check in? I used the intercom to ring the restaurant who told me how to access the night safe where my key was. It came with a map and we had to try and find our way to our room in... more

The hotel layout did remind me alot of a motel. Some of the rooms were run down and the hotel itself looked as though it need renovating and I got the impression that they were slowly doing the rooms up. My room was very nice. The breakfast selection was very limited. Only had some cereal and toast and yoghurt. I... more

I went on a holiday with a few friends, and we booked a room here as on the website and brochure it looked so nice! When we got there it was run down, and looked nothing like what we had seen in photos. Check-in was dingy, the staff were alright but seemed quite uninterested. The rooms were basic, though they... more

Simple $1 bus ride to shops (buses about every 45 minutes) or a small store across the road. Restaurant is OK for price versus quality and in a nice setting overlooking the pool. Staff friendly but not very... more

My partner and I stayed on Magnetic Island for four nights. We picked it from a Queensland getaway brochure and it had a picture of a bed and a swimming pool. Unfortunately, my expectations were set really high with the brochure. The lobby is extremely dated and is cluttered. The hotel is what I would call "decentralised", you have to... more

Overall the hotel was great, it is all one storey bungalow type apartments, ours was quite large with double locking doors and a nice patio set to sit out on the lovely gardens. Reception were nice and staff in restaurant nice too. Breakfast was quite expensive $15 each in the hotel restaurant, but would stay here again definatly! Stayed for... more

Dont go to Magnetic Island in Feb as everything shuts down at that time of the year, if you do go most tours are closed for maintenance - if you hire a car its not too bad. My husband and I went for a week for our 2nd Anniversary we couldnt even go snorkling as the water was too cloudy... more
