Second time I’ve been there, won’t be rushing back. ##### Sam ### 8/10 Good #### Mi 26 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Would have been absolutely amazing when it first opened. Loved being able to cycle anywhere, the staff were incredibly friendly and the amenities that were still open were great. The downside is the ferry/taxi cost in getting there if you don’t have your own boat and you’re basically stuck with what you brought (the convenience store is just a few shelves and mostly closed) or their menu. Will also have to remember to stay indoors at dusk next time as the mozzies were plague proportions - but we still want to go again :) ##### Mi Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Linda 15 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities Property is uniquely located. Place was full of guests and only one place to eat on a Saturday night - food choices were minimal. We ordered to eat in and they brought out takeaway so we did - but no condiments for the dishes. Cafe was shut, pizza oven not working and quite obviously the place was well understaffed for the volume of guests. ##### Linda Stayed 1 night in Apr 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jodie 5 Oct 2022 #### Disappointed Didn’t actually stay here due to us not being aware that you can only reach this place by boat (at your own cost) and that water taxis don’t run at night. There was also no safe place to leave your car. ##### Jodie Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Francesco 11 Nov 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Did not like that you did not let us know that their was a ferry to catch then the ferry didn’t have enough seats to carry my family ##### Francesco Stayed 1 night in Nov 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Hayden 8 Jan 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The area is beautiful, nice contact with nature , but the facilities are all run down, staff were rude and unhelpful , specially receptionist , amenities broken in the room, room dirty. This place has potential but needs to be looked after. No activities for kids. No transport offered to and from the room, no biggies to be rented out. Seu difficult to get around with kids . ##### Hayden ### 2/10 Terrible #### Steve 26 Feb 2023 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities All the facilities were closed. Staff did not know much. It was so bad we asked Expedia to move us. Couldnt get food. Couldnt do anything as nothing was open. Walking tracks closed. It was awful ##### Steve Stayed 9 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tracey 11 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff were so helpful right from the beginning...rebooked our Ferry for us when we wanted to change the time and let us have a late check out for a very good price. The unit was stayed in was lovely and spacious, beautifully decorated and clean. Great balcony and lovely water views. My daughter absolutely loved the amenities..bike hire was great cos we could explore the island and see the surf beach. Only minuses: walls are very thin so you can hear neighbours a bit too easily...fortunately though, we had very quiet neighbours. Also, I recommend putting a non-slip mat in bath...I slipped when getting out and have a big bruise on knee from hitting it on the sharp outer edge of bath. ##### Tracey Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Leanne 23 Sept 2022 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everything is rundown. Choice of food is limited. Also no gluten free options. Staff weren’t helpful, just doing minimum work. When we researched how much it was to buy a unit and saw that body corp is $218/wk there is no reason for the resort and facilities being so rundown. ##### Leanne Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Trent 11 Dec 2022 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities we didnt get a. two beedroom villa as paid for ##### Trent Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Roberto Vieira 31 Dec 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Apartment was terrible dirty with dead cockroaches in the cutlery drawer and their feces all over the place. The dining table is in the balcony and was full of birds pup as well. The property and facilities are outdated and useless. The restaurant is short on offering and there’s only one working the others are closed permanently Going to the beach is an adventure as there’s no transportation or pram or wheelchair possible way to get there I can keep going… ##### Roberto Vieira ### 4/10 Poor #### Nicole 2 Aug 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Severely run down Broken toilet seat and really dusty. Bedding requests apparently never received so kids weren’t happy. Extremely understaffed. Staff were trying their best but just can’t cope. Overcharged for a whole room. Direct phone number is disconnected ##### Nicole Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Anna 5 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I had read previous visitor reviews, so I was expecting facilities to be not maintained and aged. When I arrived I was pleassantly surprised. The resort offered a budget resort style experience that we loved. It was easy going and great for kids. Our one bedroom lagoon view apartment was a generous size and clean, although the kitchenette was very small and difficult to cook in due to the minimal benchspace for food prep. We didnt eat at the restaurants because we had been advised that vegetarian options were low so we brought all our food with us. The pool was fabulous! Kids loved it. And the bike hire allowed us to explore the island areas on sealed roads without cars or traffic. Overall, It felt like a relaxed, easy going holiday in a SE Asian resort back in the early 2000's - I loved it!! ##### Anna ### 8/10 Good #### Claire 19 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We liked that the property had great pool options for young and older guests. Main resort area and accomodation was wheelchair friendly however of three wheelchair toilets, only one was open. The room was clean and big, however no housekeeping and no wifi. Ferry driver Matt was nice and helpful. Rundown and unkempt facilities, only one place to dine for dinner with tiny & pricey menu with desserts listed but not available for the whole stay, broken hire equipment with long wait periods for some items, staff available were nice but VERY understaffed, long waits for takeaway lunch (30 minutes just in queue), no information or communication on how to hire equipment or extra activities - had to seek this out ourselves, no access to activities listed on website such as massage, buffet, spa and more. ##### Claire ### 8/10 Good #### Cheryl 31 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Rooms nice but service lacking The room was clean and nice but we found the staff lacking. The reception was confusing and gave us 3 different prices for a boat berth. The bar staff were inexperienced with cocktails not tasting at all like they should. The restaurant forgot our booking even though we called a couple of times to add people. The outside of the buildings looked dirty and needed cleaning. We got locked out of our room as the lock on our door broke and when we complained were told they are old. ##### Cheryl Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Kimberley 16 Jan 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Be prepared for this to be the most expensive crap hole you’ve stayed at. The resort is seriously falling apart around you - paths in disrepair, rotten wooden railings, rusty bikes, kayaks with holes. The cabin we stayed in the flames from the gas cook top kept going out so needed a watchful eye to make sure we didn’t get gassed out. Rust marks on the sheets. Water damaged floors. The photos do not match the reality. The meal prices are exorbitant for the quality you actually receive, the wait times for ordering meals and drinks can reach anywhere up to 30 minutes just to order and then 30-45 minutes for the food to arrive. They did not have any desserts listed on the menu, only ice creams ($5 for a paddle pop) Cans of soft drink are $5. Coffee lines in the morning were ridiculous, with only one staff member taking the orders and making the coffee. Be prepared and Take your own snacks and drinks - ignore the rule of not taking your own alcohol, they don’t seem to really care. We did have the experience of watching influencers the resort had hired for advertising opportunities, Take cash as they charge $1 every time you use eftpos. Don’t bother tipping. Service is not worth it. ##### Kimberley ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Meriton Suites Adelaide Street, Brisbane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Meriton-Suites-Adelaide-Street.h13521416.Hotel-Information) > > [Noosa Tropicana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sunshine-Coast-Hotels-Noosa-Tropicana.h3769240.Hotel-Information) > > [Regency on the Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Regency-On-The-Beach.h1784811.Hotel-Information) > > [Brisbane Skytower by CLLIX](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Arise-Brisbane-Skytower.h19178209.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal On The Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Royal-On-The-Park.h582734.Hotel-Information) > > [Pullman Brisbane Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Pullman-Brisbane-Airport.h19295763.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Brisbane Central by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Brisbane-Central.h14677166.Hotel-Information) > > [Burleigh on the Beach Holiday Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Burleigh-On-The-Beach-Holiday-Apartments.h9625452.Hotel-Information) > > [The Langham, Gold Coast and Jewel Residences](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-The-Langham.h78099407.Hotel-Information) > > [Gilligan's Backpackers Hotel & Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Gilligans-Backpackers-Hotel-Resort.h1102895.Hotel-Information) > > [Cairns Plaza Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Cairns-Plaza-Hotel.h890459.Hotel-Information) > > [Melaleuca Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Melaleuca-Resort.h1142618.Hotel-Information) > > [Peppers Soul Surfers Paradise](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Peppers-Soul-Surfers-Paradise.h4619963.Hotel-Information) > > [Rumba Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sunshine-Coast-Hotels-Rumba-Beach-Resort.h3688041.Hotel-Information) > > [W Brisbane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-W-Brisbane.h21612140.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Tropiq](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Cairns-Rainbow-Resort.h201315.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Cairns Oasis Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Novotel-Cairns-Oasis-Resort.h84251.Hotel-Information) > > [Southern Cross Atrium Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Southern-Cross-Atrium-Apartments.h1119287.Hotel-Information) > > [Imperial Hotel Gold Coast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Palazzo-Versace.h541927.Hotel-Information) > > [Cairns Colonial Club Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Cairns-Colonial-Club-Resort.h84257.Hotel-Information) > > [Nomads Noosa Backpackers Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sunshine-Coast-Hotels-Nomads-Noosa-Backpackers-Hostel.h3856711.Hotel-Information) > > [Bay Village Tropical Retreat & Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Bay-Village-Tropical-Retreat-Apartments.h980056.Hotel-Information) > > [Stamford Plaza Brisbane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Stamford-Plaza-Brisbane.h460514.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La The Marina, Cairns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Shangri-La-The-Marina.h16032.Hotel-Information) > > [Paradise Resort Gold Coast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Paradise-Resort-Gold-Coast.h43437.Hotel-Information) > > [RACV Royal Pines Resort Gold Coast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-RACV-Royal-Pines-Resort-Gold-Coast.h425456.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Brisbane Airport Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Ibis-Brisbane-Airport-Hotel.h19295854.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Gold-Coast-Resort-Spa.h25943.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Cairns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-Cairns.h7566.Hotel-Information) ### Activities > [Things to do in Hersonissos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Hersonissos.d6034035.Travel-Guide-Activities)
