Lizard Island Resort

Beautiful island with such a nice vibe. Food was excellent. Gorgeous beaches all to yourself. Quality really above expectations. Staff really friendly and nice. Coral reef of clams garden not damaged (it grew back) thanks to the re-planting by the research center and the snorkeling sites in the reef near by is absolutely stunning and not bleached at all. All other reefs attached to the island is breached. So definitely recommend booking a private charter that goes out to open sea (limited availability). Yes expensive but better to do it perfect in one time than half. And due to the remote location worth value for money.

Wonderful accommodation, great food, friendly and efficient staff and great water activities. It is a dream place where you can combine relaxing with hiking and snorkelling over the barrier reef. It was really difficult to leave but hopefully we will return one day.

The location can’t be beat—everything is literally right there. You can walk from your room right into the water to see the reef. Every time I went in the water I saw something new—sharks, turtles, sting rays, cuttlefish… The resort itself is amazing too. Everyone on staff is kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. The food was incredible and different every day, while also specifically tailored to my allergies.

This is a magical experience. The location, flight over, resort, food, drinks, service and activities are all first rate. The snorkel boat tours are a must as you experience reefs a little off the beach. Snorkelling in Anchor Bay, off the beach at the resort, is not really much although you will encounter turtles and reef sharks. But the coral and visibility are poor. The research station is a must do visit. The walks are all worth-while. The Marlin Bar is an essential visit. Staff are the best we have ever encountered.

It seems impossible to describe how breathtakingly spectacular this place is — the resort, food, service, scenery, diving, snorkeling and reef are AMAZING! But the most incredible part of Lizard Island is the truly impressive and talented staff. A BIG THANK YOU and our sincere thanks to Paige, Tomas, Jas, Fre, Tom, Brendan, Jasper, Dan, Juan, Ines, Azeline, Michaela, Shannon and countless others for making my, my wife’s, and our tween son’s Christmas holiday so special! It was magical (and we’ll never forget watching Santa Claus arrive by boat)! Best wishes, fair winds and following seas to all of you! We can’t wait to visit again!
