Although this resort has impeccable service and wonderfully friendly staff, I am not sure how it has received such high marks. The food was excellent, with lunch a 3 course meal and dinner a 2 hour sometimes exhausting 7 course degustation menu. The resort itself is on beautiful grounds with a spectacular view. And life here is peaceful and uninterrupted.... more

Wonderful staff who maintain the resort very well, and go out of their way to be helpful. Fabulous food. Coffee/tea is complimentary but all other drinks are extra. The little fridge in the lounge stocked with fruit/juice/bite sized nibblies is fantastic. The gourmet pinic hamper with seafood is fabulous. Dining on the pier is very romantic. The rooms are very... more

It’s been a rough transition back into the old swing of things after our recent trip to Orpheus Island. This time last week my husband and I were aboard a seaplane having just touched down on the turquoise waters of Hazard Bay. Shortly thereafter, we were informed that we would be the only occupants at the resort for the duration... more

Eight out of nine days of perfect sunshine and weather would spoil even the other Charles – Prince that is. From the time the seaplane landed, we were pampered and pleased beyond expectations. Imagining in a world of glitz and glam that the understated presentation of a resort service still exists, it is hard to believe, yet Orpheus Island is... more

Just completed a 10 - day stay over Christmas and New Year's. It was a wonderful stay. This resort reminds us of some of the smaller resorts in the Carribbean back in the 1980's. It rained the first few days, but we ended up with great weather and very calm waters. We had some of the best snorkels ever. We... more

We've been to Lizard Island 5 or 6 times but recently have been disappointed with the resort being overfull and too 'corporate', having lost its friendly touch. We decided to go to Orpheus this time for a change and were not disappointed. The managers, a friendly husband and wife team, are competent, upbeat and very hands-on. All the staff are... more

We stayed at Orpheus Island for three nights in May 2007. If you want to truly get away, this is a completely secluded resort in a gorgeous location. The staff was wonderful ---friendly without being overly chatty, never stuffy or overbearing --- with anything you need easily accessible or already there. We were one of only four couples, so we... more

We stayed at Orpheus Island, Christmas 2004. We really wanted to experience a Great Barrier Reef Christmas. Unfortunately it rained the majority of the time spent on the Island. Not really much to do when it rains. There is a very small gym, a television, a pool table and an internet connection. Not what you would expect for the price,... more

We stayed on Orpeus at the end of a trip to Australia to see freinds and sightsee. After a hectic three week schedule we decided to end with relaxation on a Barrier Reff island. Our stay at Orpheus could not have been better for us. We were greeted by the managers and shown to our room -which was worthy of... more
