Heron Island Resort is a nice place with friendly and helpful staff. While the food options are limited, they are decent and satisfactory. The rooms, however, could benefit from more thorough cleaning to enhance the overall experience.

Great & relaxing family holiday
Wonderful stay - Heron Island is such a special place! Snorkelling / diving was outstanding - turtles, rays, sharks and other marine life everywhere. We liked the new al-a-carte menu at the restaurant, although the bar cutting back on the options for simple / fast food like they used to have was a shame. Lucky to have pretty good weather as well for January - was hot & humid though. Suggest check fans in your room to make sure they are not in "winter" mode.
