Heron Island Resort is a paradise !

From the moment we arrived the Staff were all friendly and helpful. The restaurant offered a wide range of different options to choose from. And I personally had a blast at their day spa offering massages and facials. Our room was so neat and organised. We had a fridge and tea/coffee making facilities. I personally love coffee. I must say that Heron Island Resort is a paradise.

Marvellous time, team was welcoming and warm

We went for a long weekend in early September and had a marvellous time. The resort team was warm and welcoming, super friendly and we felt at home right away. The rooms were clean and comfortable enough. Food was at the upper end of the scale with some real highlights (loved the fish & chips and the line-up of desert) with veggie options available. The snorkel equipment was well-maintained.

Incredible location, couldn't have been nicer

Incredible location. Swam with sharks, turtles, rays in the bluest water. Fairly basic accommodation and amenities, but sitting in the room is not the point. Be prepared for very noisy birds at night. Staff couldn’t have been nicer - special shout out to the kitchen for being careful with allergies, Lauren at reception, and master reef guide Elliot.
