"Situated on an amazing island and in a beautiful national park; but resort looks a bit tired and in need of a good clean and spruce up. Beach cabin room was lovely right on the beach but no bedside lamps or low lighting. Main restaurant food was good but pricey; Foxy’s bar / casual eatery was great with awesome views - our fave spot. Overall a good experience in an amazing natural environment but could have been better with some small improvements."

Top Brinsmead Hotel Reviews

Crystalbrook Bailey

10/10 Excellent

"We were very impressed with this hotel from the moment we walked in. There was a lovely ambience and it was a great place to stay. We had a 2 bed apartment which was well equipped for our family group. We used both hotel pools which were clean and just warm enough to enjoy. We also discovered the lagoon at the seafront which was perfect for our toddler. The hotel staff were extremely friendly and very willing to help. We were recommended to stay here by good friends and will be recommending it ourselves after our visit. We would definitely stay here again."
