This resort is situated on a beautiful island in the Whitsundays, providing an amazing view right from the room. I really enjoyed the two-bedroom bungalow, which was spacious enough for us to relax comfortably. While everything was generally great, the service had its moments that could use some improvement. Overall, it was a wonderful stay with some minor hiccups.
