Inspiring place
Location, service, room comfort
8.3
It was an incredible experience to stay inside the Great Barrier Reef. The beach was fantastic - snorkeling was easy; attentive staff; food choices weren't a lot but were pretty good. Really liked the activities we could do while in island. It was a place where I could reflect and recharge...

Clean, beautiful, big room at a lovely island

Overall, it's great stay, the beach around the hotel is good, the room is big, beautiful and quiet. The thing need to improve is, there is no much choices on food.

Paradise island,that few too many have discovered
Amazing snorkeling right off the beach, with turtles! After 5pm it's your own private island. Great set of activities for guests.
9.3
From the boat trip into the island, to the moment we left - Green Island was a truly memorable experience. The room was clean and simple, but large and comfortable. After deciding to stay on Green Island, you won't want to spend much time in your room anyway. The real beauty of the place is what's outside the room.
The island can be walked around in around 20 minutes and I really recommend doing so. At one point, me and my girlfriend were on our own on a beach with beautiful views of the sea and a clear blue sky, with a helicopter taking off that was something like a scene out of a movie.
The water around the island is beautiful. Crystal clear and we often saw turtles swimming around. Tip - take an underwater camera!!!
The only downsides are that it does get busy during the day, especially the public areas because of the day trippers. But the island is big enough that there is always somewhere to get away from it all if that is what you want. The second issue was that we initially booked a night here and a few weeks later the price had almost halved. Not impressed as you can imagine!
Overall, I recommend the island to anyone who wants to experience being out in the middle of nowhere but still having lots of different things to do (the night walk was great!)

Fantastic
Large, luxerious rooms, very friendly and helpful staff, idylic location
9.3
The hotel offers spacy accomodation of well furnished rooms: we felt right at home from the moment we walked in. The bathroom offers a large bath, separate shower and separate toilet. Great choice of breakfast and delicious diner menu.
The staff is very friendly and helpful. They are very attentive and personally engaging. They make an effort to make you feel welcome and special.
But the true beauty of the hotel is its location. Green island may be a tourist attraction by day, as soon as the last ship of the day departs the island regains its natural tranquility. Watching turtles swim about while drinking champagne at the beach with just a few other guests is quite an experience. Could have stayed there for weeks.

We stayed on green island for two nights. Beautiful location, helpful and happy staff. Make sure you wait for high tide to go snorkeling around the island. Not many options for food on the island, but the restaurant is cheaper than you'd expect and the food is great.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
get a boat out to the reef pontoon and go snorkeling/scuba diving.

Peaceful resort when the day trippers go
Nice resort, good selection of meals in the restaurant
8.3
This is a nice resort for a nights stay, it is chaotic during the day with day trippers but when the last boat goes back to the mainland it's peaceful and quiet.
