Stayed for 4 nights in late May. Weather was great, warm, sunny. Views and hikes lovely. Walk 50 ft from our room to amazing snorkelling. On average saw 10-12 sea turtles per swim, plus rays reef sharks and loads of fish. Had economy suite which was fully equipped. Staff were great, food was affordable and nice. Short hike to nudey beach to break up the day. Highly recommend do your first snorkel at 8:30 before tour boat arrives from Cairn. Honestly snorkelling was never crowded. Highly recommend and would come back.

Very big room with cooking equipment, washing machines etc. Food and drink at the bar is better and with reasonable price. There is a path near the level 2 to the summit, so people who stays at resort can use card to access and use the path.

It's a lovely island with snorkelling right off the beach and some enjoyable walks and views. The cheaper eating place (Foxy's) still has high quality food and the staff are amazing there and at the resort. The expensive restaurant (Zephyrs) has a minimum spend of $60 per person which seems a shame as it is in a lovely and convenient position but isn't so popular.
