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. ##### Richard Stayed 9 nights in Dec 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Natalie 12 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities 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. ##### Natalie Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jiuyong 23 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Enjoy walk and snorkelling. ##### Jiuyong Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine 23 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Unique setting featuring NATURE everywhere!

The friendliness and willingness of the staff to make our trip the best it could be our weighed any small downsides to this accommodation. One being the food, I’m sure they are doing the best with what they have but for the price of food that seemed more like heated up from frozen, it was a shock to pay an extra $2000 for 5 nights in food, wetsuit hire, a boat trip out to the reef where it was poor visibility and a depressing state of dead coral. Wilson island on the other hand was incredible!! ##### Mary Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### CHRISTINE 26 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Heron Island is perfect for experiencing the natural world.

We didn't have internet, phone, or TV. We could move around easily and on a relaxed state. There is only one restaurant but the food was very good. Elliot was the activity director and he was incredibly knowledgeable . All the staff were lovely. We had a room without air conditioning but found the fan quite sufficient . ##### David Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Sourish 25 May 2024 Heron Island Resort is a nice place with friendly and helpful staff. While the food options are limited, they are decent and satisfactory. The rooms, however, could benefit from more thorough cleaning to enhance the overall experience. ##### Sourish Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fae 9 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Holiday of a lifetime. Turtle hatching and laying was amazing. Highly recommend Heron Island for an unbelievable experience. ##### Fae Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Marleise 22 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities The staff was very friendly and helpful. The bar was nice, the pool area, and the sunset times with live music were amazing. They should have more activities to explore the place, not just once a day, such as a kayak tour with only 5-6 spots available. Breakfast was expensive, lunch was delicious, but dinner was buffet only, and the food was 6 out of 10\. I found a cockroach in my bedroom as well. I booked the submersible boat, which was broken when we arrived for embarkation. ##### Marleise Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Alexander 7 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities It’s is an incredible place to go diving/snorkelling. The staff are very helpful and friendly. It is not a luxury stay you go there for the reef and that is all. Breakfast is good. The dinner was also good however it is incredibly expensive. Not sure why they charge an extra 25$ a day for WiFi on top of the room price. It is an excellent experience if you don’t mind spending the money. Would definitely recommend to friends. ##### Alexander Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Graham 26 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Heron Island is an amazing place. So much wildlife just outside the door of your room. From turtles, rays, sharks to multiple different birds. It’s easy to snorkel off the beaches. The resort offers a range of activities. We loved our time there. ##### Graham Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Tasman Holiday Parks - Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Island-Gateway-Holiday-Park.h3866288.Hotel-Information) > > [All Seasons Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mildura-Hotels-All-Seasons-Holiday-Park.h17962526.Hotel-Information) > > [Mantra Club Croc](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Mantra-Club-Croc.h519113.Hotel-Information) > > [Coral Sea Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Coral-Sea-Marina-Resort.h1047180.Hotel-Information) > > [Bounce Magnetic Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Horseshoe-Bay-Hotels-Selina-Magnetic-Island.h89484711.Hotel-Information) > > [Island Leisure Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Townsville-Hotels-Island-Leisure-Resort.h2650691.Hotel-Information) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > > [Shingley Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Shingley-Beach-Resort.h2744419.Hotel-Information) > > [Base Backpackers Magnetic Island - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Townsville-Hotels-Base-Backpackers-Magnetic-Island-Hostel.h14641975.Hotel-Information) > > [Mango House Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Mango-House-Resort.h574907.Hotel-Information) > > [Nightelier Mission Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mission-Beach-Hotels-Mission-Beach-Resort.h2773789.Hotel-Information) > > [Seascape Holidays at Seascape Temple](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Seascape-Holidays-At-Sea-Temple.h19802978.Hotel-Information) > > [Glamping at Truffle Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gretna-Hotels-Truffle-Lodge.h22239606.Hotel-Information) > > [Meridian Port Douglas - Adults only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Meridian-Port-Douglas.h1479384.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monkey-Mia-Hotels-RAC-Monkey-Mia-Dolphin-Resort.h2650828.Hotel-Information) > > [Daintree Ecolodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lower-Daintree-Hotels-Daintree-Ecolodge.h525492.Hotel-Information) > > [Bush Village Holiday Cabins](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Bush-Village-Holiday-Cabins.h11529204.Hotel-Information) > > [NRMA Airlie Beach Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Seabreeze-Tourist-Park.h9849072.Hotel-Information) > > [Green Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Green-Island-Hotels-Green-Island-Resort.h2650447.Hotel-Information) > > [Desert Gardens Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yulara-Hotels-Desert-Gardens.h67183126.Hotel-Information) > > [Unique holiday home with private waterfalls and swimming pool right by your deck](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Diwan-Hotels-Only-Private-Guesthouse-With-Its-Own-Waterfalls-And-Swimming-Hole-By-Your-Deck.h29486623.Hotel-Information) > > [Ayr Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ayr-Hotels-Ayr-Hotel.h78537272.Hotel-Information) > > [Mirage Whitsundays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Mirage-Whitsundays.h11066236.Hotel-Information) > > [Darlington Grove Farm Stay in a Renovated Dairy Lots of Animals and River Access](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Darlington-Hotels-Darlington-Grove-Farm-Stay-In-A-Renovated-Dairy-Lots-Of-Animals-And-River-Access.h37904197.Hotel-Information) > > [Silky Oaks Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Silky-Oaks-Lodge.h1636501.Hotel-Information) > > [Nomads Magnetic Island - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Townsville-Hotels-Base-Magnetic-Island-Hostel.h3651343.Hotel-Information) > > [at Marina Shores](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-At-Marina-Shores.h3398158.Hotel-Information) > > [Rochester Riverside Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Rochester-Riverside-Caravan-Park.h65341713.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sebel Whitsundays Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-At-Blue-Horizon-Resort-Apartments.h2650727.Hotel-Information) ---
