We stayed at Green Island Resort for two nights. The resort is older and shows some signs of age, but it has plenty of charm. The staff were always friendly, welcoming, and helpful, and they did everything they could to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. A major advantage was that the use of facilities such as beach chairs, towels, snorkelling equipment, glass-bottom boat tours, and the use of guest laundry was included in the price. The ferry transfers to and from the island were also included. We also joined an interesting “behind the scenes” tour, which gave us an insight into the island’s water supply, waste management systems, deliveries from the mainland, and the logistics involved in running a remote island resort. It gave me a much greater appreciation of how much work goes into operating a place like this and why the cost of staying there is entirely justified. We would be very happy to stay here again!

We loved our 2 night stay at Green Island. The rooms were spacious and the beds were comfy. The staff were AMAZING. Every single employee was friendly and helpful. They truly seemed happy working there. It makes sense, the place is beautiful and peaceful. Day guests show up around 9 and leave at 4:30. We never felt overwhelmed with the day guests. Once the day guests left, we felt that we had the island to ourselves. Our reservation included 2 sunset drinks daily, a free glass bottom boat tour (30 minutes), free chairs on the beach, and free breakfast. I highly recommend this place. The money is worth the experience!

Just back from the island, wow,loved it and so did our 13yr old son. Staff were cracking, room large and felt like you were in the middle of a rainforest. We found a spot on the top corner of the island where no day trippers seemed to venture so had the beach to ourselves, swam with many turtles, stingrays reef sharks (only small luckily) and many more fish. Everything needed was supplied. Only criticism would be food. If you like burger chips and pizza for dinner u will be happy. When the last boat of day trippers leaves at 4pm it is like you have the island to yourselves.

Was a disappointing experience , service was average & food was poor. Island itself is lovely. So old recommend for a day trip versus staying at the resort. Resort is overpriced in particular the food given the quality. They need to pay some one who can actually cook.

Came here for a day to see and experience the Great Barrier Reef. It was a wonderful day with plenty to see do and east. Staff were very good and could not do enough for you.
