7.4/10 Good! (35 reviews)
Check in went poorly as there was some confusion regarding a change in meal options.

Verified traveller

Beware of the cost of any boat related trips.There is a $16 per head charge if you go afloat in the Marine Park. There is also a lot of plastic pollution immediately in front of the hotels beach caused by the hundreds of decaying plastic sacks.
