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!

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 😍

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. .

Really run down room. Broken blinds couldn’t keep sun out. What you guys are charging a night needs a major revamp for that price. The island needs some TLC. Should of stayed at Fitzroy island.

We stayed at Green Island Resort for 2 nights (family of 4, 2 kids aged 8 and 10). Things we loved: Hotel staff was helpful and friendly , Dive Shop was great in getting us snorkeling gear, Snorkeling was fantastic, both on the beach side and the jetty side. Things we disliked: Room was old, plaster on ceiling in bathroom was cracked and crumbling, whole room smelled very musty. Food situation is not ideal. We were not prepared for the exorbitant prices for basic food. For example, a tray of chips costs $15. Dinners in the $50 range equivalent to what you would get in Cairns for $25. So, basically, assume you will pay about double for food, and you have no choice, no other food options. I am not blaming the resort for this, it is a remote location where it is much more expensive to deliver the food, limited number of customers, etc, but just be prepared for it. Finally, a few of the things we had hoped to enjoy were not available to us, specifically the glass bottom boat, and the kayaks. The glass bottom boat was all booked up for the times we tried to get, and since we were only there 2 nights, we werent as flexible either. Again, not the resorts fault, but I would suggest booking a time as soon as you arrive to be sure to get on. Kayaks not available the whole time we were there, we were told the tide was too low, which makes sense, but it was just a bummer. Overall we enjoyed our visit though.

Service is done by backpackers - lazy! Food is below average and Uber expensive. This resort is way over priced - they seriously need to lift their game.

Delightful 1 night stay. Id go back. Not sure for more than 1 night. But perfect for a night. Dinner was splendid. Far better than we expected. Delicious for an islans restaurant. Breakfast satisfactory and hotel manager very empathetic with a bit of an issue we encountered with work at home - and did whatever she could to help us resolve it. Room was comfy, tidy and as youd expect. Mint place

This property is ideal for a day trip but therein lies its downfall. We didn't expect it to be full of day trippers we expected (at the price point of >£400/night) more of a tranquil and relaxing environment. It is sell sell sell from the moment the ferry departs to when it arrives at the island. Because of the volume of day trippers the food outlets can't cope so there is extensive wait times, again not what is expected. The accommodation is okay but slightly dated and in need of repairing some areas. All in all not a good experience for us, so much so we returned to the mainland after only one night cutting our stay short, the staff dealt with this very well it has to be said.

Beautiful island, decidedly average hotel
Amazing island. Could be incredible hotel too with real eco credentials but felt more like a commercial enterprise that had lost its way. Hotel average. Pub standard food. Signature dish (seafood platter) came with no bread or sauces - for $125 this is poorly thought out and showed little thought for the customer. Hotel oversells itself and facilities -eg ‘sumptuous dining’ and no windsurfing at all (due to insurance issues) despite still advertising on the website. Most staff transient and not sure of how things worked despite trying their hardest. Honestly I think the hotel has struggled to re-start post lockdowns and presumably trying to make money back with minimal expenditure. Sorry to not be more positive but this is honest. Should really still be on a re-start deal as not fully functioning at the level promised.

Wholeheartedly recommend staying at green island! Spend the extra money and stay 2-3 nights instead of a day trip! Never have been so well looked after! Absolutely brilliant and relaxing & the wildlife is amazing!!
