The room was excellent and very comfortable. The property was beautiful with easy walks on the beach and jungle. We enjoyed snorkeling near the pier on the opposite side from where the boats dock. There was healthy coral, a variety of fish, turtles, and some small white tips. Definitely perfect to relax and enjoy nature.

This was a dream come true stay for the one day we stayed. (We were evacuated our second day due to cyclone). The staff went above and beyond. The room was great. You get a lot of extra amenities included like the transfer to and from the island, snorkeling and the glass bottom boat tour. The best part was after 430 the day tourists left and we had the whole island to ourselves with only 29 guests staying over night. Overall it was the best day of vacation I ever had.

Green Island is a beautiful and peaceful resort set in a tasteful natural habitat. Lots and lots of things to do on such a small island and an excellent location to explore the reef. We loved our stay in the beautiful apartment and felt quite secluded. Perfect for couples 😍

The resort is small and has a feel of luxury. The room was large and the woodwork in the room was gorgeous. The bathroom was well appointed and the veranda backed on to rainforest. The room felt very private and you are not overlooked by other guests. The pool area was very relaxing and the staff were very friendly. It felt like a private island after the day guests left at 4.30. Highly recommended, you would not be disappointed.

One of my favourite places to visit - the scenery is stunning - you literally can’t take a bad photo. Daily snorkelling and walks along the beach or through the rainforest. The staff are delightful and don’t miss daily fish feeding followed by sunset drinks after the day trippers leave. Already planning my next stay!

The rooms were clean. Be careful of the birds swimming in the pool and stealing food from customers' plates in the restaurant. It's a shame that there is very little to do in bad weather.

We had a wonderful stay at The Mantra. We booked the spa onsite for a massage and it was amazing. We had a connecting room with the kids and the rooms were so spacious with a wonderful view. Internet was dicey, but we did not care. We asked for 3rd floor even after reading the reviews but we loved it. Staff are wonderful too. The walk to the affiliated restaurant for breakfast was alot in the muggy weather but so good. One of the best buffets we have had and we also had lunch one day there. Fantastic.

Beautiful island but incredibly overpriced for what it is. The rooms are tired, without basics like a couple of champagne glasses or a wine knife, We had electrical items that didn’t work. $38 for a buffet breakfast which was really basic and fairly tasteless and you could not order a proper coffee with breakfast.. A budget coffee machine that can’t make a flat white and no decaf coffee anywhere on the island. We were directed to the instant coffee sachets. You can have black coffee, black coffee and black coffee from the self service machine that looks like it was made in the 80’s, even though there is a barista coffee machine behind the bar, it was refused. Who doesn’t want a good coffee on the morning? Absolute bonuses- sunset drinks on the jetty, great dive instructor, beach and location, quiet and ambient evening once everyone goes home. Staff were welcoming and friendly and dinner was off the hook amazing. Must have the barramundi spring rolls and kangaroo. Our dinner was absolutely worth every cent! All in all a great stay but just overpriced for the stay and breakfast. .

Disappointed.

If you are in cairns just for the Great Barrier Reef, then maybe you are better off just staying in a nice resort and going by boat and checking out the reef and coming back. The green island resort is definitely eco-touristy in the sense that it is on the island but the number of tourists that come during daytime is insane during peak periods and you feel like u r in a Disney theme resort. It was nice that we could come back from our snorkel tour, take shower and immediately take a nap vs. wait for the afternoon boat tour to go back to Cairns. Just not sure if it was worth the nearly 450 dollars or so a night for the room. The food was extra and the dinner choices were not that great, don’t order the naan eggplant. Oyesters had gone bad. We enjoyed the Salmon and the risotto. The breakfast choices were good and the kids enjoyed it. The dive shop snorkel tour was very convenient and extra price. Clarissa was a marine biologist and we did the glass bottom tour with her and she almost salvaged our trip. If I were to do this again// would stay at a better hotel for that price in Cairns/ book all trips thru the main land. You also need lots of bug spray if you want to enjoy the national park and want to walk thru it. It’s a paved path and I am glad they are preserving it. In terms of the GBR itself — definitely nothing like it in terms of the biodiversity. I have been to Galapagos and Roatan, and am glad I had the privilege to see this as well. Hope this helps.

Great rooms etc, but very bad for food choices and way overpriced for food. Breakfast choice is only a buffet at 42$ per head and the spread seems to be slightly stale bread, cold perhaps one day to 2 day old pastries etc. Definitely will avoid breakfast there for sure.

Very busy with tourists from 9am to 4pm, but even then you can find quiet areas of beach around the back of the island. Outside those hours it's a quiet, secluded paradise. All the staff are fantastic and go beyond to make you feel welcomed and comfortable, food is good quality and reasonably priced. Plenty of things to do and snorkelling on the beach is fantastic, saw many tropical fish and turtles. The crocodile sanctuary and feeding show is a must, and each day is capped off with complimentary drinks on the beach while the sun sets. There is a fragrance of guano, but you get used to it. Overall, a highly recommended stay.

We had an amazing 3 nights and couldn’t be happier with our time and beautiful new memories we have made as a family. Biggest stand out is the staff - nothing was too much trouble. Restaurant staff were amazing, happy to improvise our breakfast requests and make us feel welcomed. Swimming with the turtles was breathtaking & will remain a memorable experience for all of us. I’d like to add - before our arrival we had read so many reviews & some of them negative towards the day trippers, so we weren’t quite sure what to expect - but aside from it being busy around the cafe, bar and other eating areas, overall it really wasn’t that bad. By 4pm when the last lot of day trippers had left, you had the whole island to guests only. It really was something special and I highly recommend a stay if you are thinking about it.
