A very relaxing holiday as very little to do.
Carol, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

While not as big as Hamilton Island, that has its benefit as being not too busy. Only need 3-4 nights to relax, try the restaurants and do the activities. Rooms are like a standard hotel room and not generous on space. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Credit to the resort for catering for gluten free people at breakfast. Living reef is awesome.
