The chef easily catered to dietary needs. Several beverages are also included. The local reefs were easily accessible from the resort beach and very healthy. Inner and outer reef charters operated every other day. The boat crew was attentive and knew the best sites to visit based on conditions. ##### Lisa Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tord Dec 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Mycket.

É possível nadar entre corais, tartarugas, conchas gigantes e todo tipo de peixe, a poucos metros da praia principal do hotel com snorkel. Para aqueles que mergulham com cilindro, as opções são ainda maiores. Comida excelente, à la carte, que harmoniza perfeitamente com a magnífica carta de vinhos, que dá preferência para os vinhos locais e neozelandeses. O atendimento é impecável, desde a chegada até o nosso retorno. O vôo panorâmico sobre a grande barreira de corais para chegar ao hotel é outra atração à parte. ##### ALINE F G Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael Jun 15, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wonderful Experience Wonderful experience.

The resort is on the smaller end which made it great to have lots of privacy on the various beaches. Service was outstanding, everyone was very friendly and welcoming. The snorkeling was great and the hike to the top of the island provided amazing views. Overall we had a very relaxing stay and would definitely come back! ##### Khanh Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mat Aug 15, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### You pay for location and experience, not amenities The resort has the advantage of being on a fantastic, quiet and immensely beautiful island, with white sandy beaches in the middle of the great barrier reef. Great snorkeling at the doorstep, surrounded by nature. No day tourists. What you’re paying for are the location, the service (staff is extremely friendly and attentive) and the quietness. If you want a luxurious room with private pool etc. you’re in the wrong place. The rooms are a nice size with view of the bay and a balcony (even the garden rooms we were in). They are not luxurious though, and the bathroom (shower and toilet part) was even pretty basic and run down. New showerhead with good pressure though. It’s the service at the bar and restaurant as well as the beach club which makes this a luxury place though. You get taken to any beach on the island (as far as tides allow) either by the team, or you can take your own little dinghy (both complimentary). Food is great, a good selection of drinks is inclusive, snorkeling gear hire is included. All great there. Also communication is good on what’s included and what is not. All in all a great experience. Can only recommend it ##### Mat Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2018 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert Jul 30, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fabulous location and resort This is a fabulous location and resort. Of course, the reef is the star attraction (and it is glorious), so the resort's varied activities capitalise on that to make the most of it. Plus, very comfortable, good food and great service. It's a terrific package, justifying the high cost. ##### Robert Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2018 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Meg Jun 4, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastic Hotel Had a incredible stay at the lizard hotel. I will admit its extremely expensive and a bit over the top, but it was worth it for the location. Location to the great barrier reef is amazing. I am a scuba diver and the main reason was visiting the outer reef. It did not disappoint. The food was fantastic. Rooms were nice comfortable and clean. The staff was very helpful and pleasant. It wasn't very crowded when I was there so most of the time we had a private beach to ourself! The dinghy rental/beach picnic is a must. My husband also enjoyed exploring some of the other beaches and going to cooks look. We dont usually spend this much on a hotel, but since we wanted to do the great barrier reef and see cod hole w/o doing a live aboard this was the perfect option for us. ##### Meg Stayed 3 nights in May 2018 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Apr 14, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Excellent hotel and service.

Low occupancy our 5 days so no hassles about booking services. Food was FABULOUS as advertised. Certainly a luxury at the rates. But probably the most relaxing four days of my life. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1894-pd0e7da90-d892-11e7-98da-0242fed17ade-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1992-pcad28ab0-d892-11e7-ab29-562dc63a5703-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s38-pd33ec2e0-d892-11e7-ab29-562dc63a5703-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Charles Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2017 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kate Oct 27, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect in every way This is a one of a kind destination. They offer diving, snorkeling, hiking, sunset cruises, private beaches, swimming with turtles, educational tours, wine tasting, bird watching etc. It is also wonderful to just lay on the beach in front of your room. Everyone is so busy that the beach is usually empty. They offer about 6-8 dining choices and will accommodate any dietary restrictions. The service is really wonderful too. I think the staff really make this place top notch. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1598-pfe08f5a0-bb4f-11e7-ba9d-3adc90152e10-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kate Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2017 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Oct 9, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing hotel on the Great Barrier Reef We had an incredible time here, a once in a lifetime experience! We felt like we were on a deserted island but with every amenity you could wish for. The resort is beautifully set out along the shoreline & into the hills just above with amazing views over the ocean. The food was excellent & the staff were always willing to help or advise. Wish we could've stayed a bit longer. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2017 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Sep 19, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great place to stay, but be prepared for limited cell service and internet availability. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2017 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Feb 4, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excelente!!!

While Lizard Island certainly lived up to expectactions as a unique haven for getting close the Great Barrier Reef, too many things jus didn't add up. For a property with only 40 rooms, we expected hightly personalized service and received exactly the opposite. Not a single staff member (except the manager) knew our names, preferences, or seemed to care. Orders were taken multiple times and even then not correct. They were friendly enough, but didn't seem adequately trained and thus the service level felt like that at a large chain hotel. The food quality (it is all included) was excellent, but selections extremely limited. One of two more choices, or better yet the ability to provide preferences prior to arrival would have elevated the dining experience beyond the faily ordinary meals that it became. Restaurant setting was magical, however, and the included wines were very smart choices. We had a sunset view room, and the villa was large and very comfortable at first glance. However, the shades didn't close completely, so it was impossible to sleep past daybreak. Housekeeping was the same as the restaurant standard, very impersonal and not timed well to match the obvious times we were out of the room. We didn't have any specific problems, but when you pay these rates feel that a high standard expectation is justified. ##### Richard Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### sharon Jul 16, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great stay lovely accommodation. ##### sharon Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Sep 27, 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Resort a beira do mar com cor d'agua azul claro Local paradisiaco.
