We loved the island! A great getaway for a few days and so close to Brisbane! Plenty to do.

6/10 Good

Nice weekend but some improvements needed.
Our stay unfortunately coincided with a cruise ship day. Nowhere was this mentioned and I would not have booked this date had I known. It’s just too busy with 2500 people visiting at once. The boat transfer was great with a friendly, interesting commentary. How we nobody mentioned where the location of reception was so we had to ask. It’s not at the pier - it’s in the middle, quite a walk. Your luggage is conveniently taken to your room. Our Deluxe category room was available on arrival at 11am which was a bonus. This recent renovated room was in the 6 storey Kookaburra block and had an amazing view of the ocean. The king size bed was very comfortable and faced the view. Shower pressure was excellent however hot water took 5 min to come thru (don’t give up waiting - it gets there eventually). The downside and main reason for my low score - smoking is allowed on the room balconies and we were subjected to the secondhand smoke of our neighbours. I find this appalling in 2023 - in Australia, where smoking is discouraged almost everywhere. When raised with management, there was nothing they could do. Suggestion: Do not allow smoking on balconies. Simple! It is disgusting Food is below average. Dining is limited to a terrible Asian restaurant or a diner so if it’s a special occasion, don’t have any expectations. Otherwise we had a lovely time. The wrecks were amazing snorkeling and the resort had a nice vibe.

This stunning property was just what i needed for a solo 3 day stay! My room was Devine, with beautiful views and the ocean so very crystal clear. The food in the beach bar is very expensive though, and my meals average for the price. I'd suggest the Malaysian restaurant... meals were fresh and hot! Activities were endless. but for me it was all about relaxing, ad that was achieved!

Tangalooma Island resort boasts one of the most beautiful beaches I have visited. Crystal clear waters, beautiful sandy beach, plenty of activities to keep everyone amused. However, what has impressed me the most is the wonderful friendly staff. Only thing that needs improvement is the selection of dining options. Pretty much limited to Asian or the pub meals.

The hotel was great, activities were excellent. The only down side was the BBQ - they over cooked the fish and it was tough, yes fish tough

I love everything about the resort except the room where we stay very noise, we can hear noise come from room on both sides and upstairs downstairs. Plumbing noise when people turn on water. Can’t really relax with the noise when we stay in the room.
