We had a wonderful time at the island. We took the morning flight from Hervey Bay and it looked a lot longer than 2 days. As it is the only resort it is an all inclusive. We did a reef walk with a marine biologist, she was very knowledgeable and nice. She told us so much about the animals that... more

Let me make it clear from the start that me and my husband only did a day trip to the Island so cannot comment on the rooms. But I wanted to leave a review as we had the best day of our hoilday on the Island. The plane trip out was great and we were met by friendly staff who... more

Yes, it is expensive, but what an experience. The wildlife is amazing (mainly birds & turtles when we were there) and the view from our Island Suite was out of this world. The staff were very friendly & knew their stuff when it came to the island & its wildlife. We flew from Bundaberg & the views from the aircraft... more

Lady Elliot Island is a unique coral cay at the very southern end of the Great Barrier Reef. I decided I wanted to take my two teenage sons to see the reef, and only had time available in January. This is a time of year when the weather in North Queensland is unpredictable and often cyclonic (as hurricanes and typhoons... more

I organised a surprise trip for my wife to Lady Elliot Island for our 1st wedding anniversary. I found the reservations staff friendly and well spoken when I booked our 2 night trip back in September 2008. Between then and our arrival I spoke with both the reservations department and the customer relations manager on the island several times, and... more

I stayed at Lady Elliot with my wife over 10 years ago with my wife and learned to dive there. I have been back since with my children and plan on returning again. It is a fantastic place to see birds nesting, turtles and excellent coral without a lot of hassle and time wasted using boats to get to good... more

I spent a lot of time researching the best island for snorkelling for my husband to spend a couple of days totally relaxing and enjoying nature. I considered location, climate, facilities and price but most of all wanted somewhere where we stood a chance of seeing whales, which is why we were travelling in September just before Oz school holidays.... more

Literally, I read “Absolute dump - Avoid At All Costs” the night before we were supposed to arrive at Lady Elliott and it scared me to death. I was traveling with my family and though we are not "high maintenance", it was worrisome. I will not respond to his comments but our experience was completely different. The resort is undergoing... more

Last Christmas, my wife, daughter and I stayed at Lady Elliot Island Resort. I was what I can only describe as a ‘holiday from hell’. The glossy brochures and beautifully presented website in no way prepared us for the reality of overall shabbiness, general neglect, filth and unbelievable stench with which we were presented upon our arrival. When these physical... more

Lady Elliot Island Resort is a great place to stay to experience the Great Barrier Reef. The flight in is absolutely stunning, and the accomodations were clean (aside from ants - but that is to be expected if you bring food with you). We were in nice tent-cabins with wooden flooring, and the bathrooms outside were clean. The food available... more
