The hotel was a delightful stay offering great views from our modern interiors room and a bottle of champagne to celebrate on the balcony. The service was friendly and sweet, though there was a lack of management presence, with young and inexperienced staff doing their best. The location was superb on a private island among the Whitsundays with easy access to the beautiful gardens and living coral reef. The dining experience was excellent with a wide selection including custom omelettes and interactive chefs. The facilities were top-notch providing a range of enjoyable amenities.

The hotel is set in beautiful gardens with a lovely living coral reef, perfect for a tranquil stay. The rooms offer modern interiors and a balcony but are marred by green build-up around the brass fittings in the bathroom. The service is warm and accommodating, despite some management challenges. The location on a private island among the Whitsundays is idyllic, making it easy to access nearby spots like the Graze restaurant. The dining experience is a highlight, with a wide array of included food and interactive chef options. The facilities are well-maintained, offering guests a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

The hotel offers beautiful views on level 3 Driftwood with a good selection of movies but lacks in finishes. The service, while apologetic for shortcomings, needs significant improvement. The location, nestled in beautiful gardens with a living coral reef, provides easy access to various activities on the private island. Dining offers some nice choices like custom omelettes and French toasts. Overall, a stay with mixed experiences.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, located on a private island among the Whitsundays with beautiful gardens and a lovely living coral reef. The rooms were modern and stylish, even came with a bottle of champagne to celebrate our occasion, and there was a complimentary cold bottle of wine with 2 glasses waiting for us. The service was friendly and sweet, although I wish the management provided more support to the young and inexperienced staff. The location was perfect, making everything easy to get to. The dining experience at the restaurant with a view of the beautiful fish was included and offered an excellent spread. Overall, a great experience with a few areas that could be improved.
