헤론 아일랜드 리조트

Aloha, Not many SCUBA opportunities,,

Room very basic, expensive. Resort toilets need a good clean, brick paths are in disrepair & dangerous, especially at night with dim lighting. Pool nice. Restaurant needed more choices. Barramundi delicious, lamb tough. Staff excellent, friendly & efficient & asked how your day had been. Food in the resort shop exorbitant, especially when you couldn’t bring any food or alcohol to the island. Bailies bar should have more choices too, at cheaper cost.

Das Zimmer an sich ist sehr spartanisch und es ist auch nicht besonders sauber. Für den Preis, den man zahlt, ein bisschen wenig. Dafür ist die Erfahrung in Heron Island eine, die man niemals vergessen wird. Unglaubliche Natur und Tiere, sodass man das schlechte Zimmer leicht vergisst.

Great!

Heron island smells awful of bird poop. Everywhere! At $350 a night, no a/c or window screens. Snorkeling was amazing! Staff were present. Breakfast was good. Pizza not so much. Salad I had was served with mustard as a dressing. Gross.

Staff

Heron Island is a very special place. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful.

I was under the impression the booking made on Wotif includes breakfast and boat transfer. It turned out it has only included accommodation. We ended up paying extra $90 for ferry and about $60 for breakfast. It was a rip off. Heron Island Resort is getting old and rundown. The staff cancelled our ferry and subsequently the first night stay at 1.46pm on 26th December without any. phone call but just a message on wotif. I drove 8 hours to get to Gladstone to catch the ferry next morning but it was cancelled. We had to book for last minute accommodation and activities for the next day around Gladstone. There was a very poor communication that has caused us to spend extra $340 unexpected. There was no response from Heron Island until I made a few phone calls and left messages. I have been coming to this island to watch turtle hatching and nesting for the last 10 years. I dont think I would consider coming any more.

Natures paradise is awaiting everyone - birds, turtles (laying eggs or hatching!!) Rays, sharks and all kind of sea and reef creatures! Just walk into the water and experience the paradise! Since our last stay 2 years ago the new management improved a lot. Service is off course still to be provided by evey staff member - also better but always improvements possible. Food is a challenge as the Canadian company decided to have to pay for breakfast extra, this makes the stay with lunch and dinner to pay extra too an expensive holiday especially for families, take away is a cheaper option but needs more variations as with the buffet options and breakfast variations to extend too. Still no fly screens at the windows is a downside. All over - perfect to enjoying nature at the Great Barrier Reef.

Amazing personel and sourdings

Amazing place to visit

Paradise on the outer reef surrounded by nesting turtles, nesting birds and all marine creatures

When I arrived, I was told I was upgraded. That was such an amazing surprise!

The complete RnR experience in a tropical location

The birds and nature own this island and we humans just try to manage among them.

The marine life is fantastic here! You just walk from shore and immediately see rays, turtles and sharks! The staff was also really nice and you could tell they were honestly fascinated, concerned and in awe of the nature and wildlife on the island, which made it even more authentic.

Wow, what a stunning island! Unfortunately the resort is complacent as a result. Rooms are tired. The whole resort buildings need upgrading. Staff were lovely but most were kids who looked like they needed supervision! Areas weren’t tidied up (some empty wine bottles left on the sunset terrace for 48 hours). Heron Island’s unique location deserves better.

O lugar é de natureza incrivel. Mas precisa de Manutenção, pintura, cuidados básicos. A comida é razoável a ruim... e relativamente cara.

The island is stunning, beautiful attention to nature, you felt privileged to be there. Staff were amazing and rooms were roomy and clean. My only gripe relates to catering. In particular, dinner service which was buffet style and frankly, awful. There are limited other options and I appreciate the logistics associated with being so remote but please improve the quality of food available.

The room was very close to the beach , surrounded by nature , spacious, relaxing, restaurant was amazing ! Staff all incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Amazing stay
