We liked the island. Most staff was friendly. Appreciated the towel exchange. Booking for certain times at the one restaurant was limiting. My biggest suggestion is the room quality. Bathroom cabinets wood splitting. Furniture very worn out and wobbly.

Heron Island Resort is a nice place with friendly and helpful staff. While the food options are limited, they are decent and satisfactory. The rooms, however, could benefit from more thorough cleaning to enhance the overall experience.

Friendly and helpful staff. Pricey meals. Meal quality was very average. We had to have the shower head replaced. Recommend chairs in room to have padded legs to reduce noise from unit above.

Heron Island's natural beauty is captivating, a true paradise for nature enthusiasts. Yet, the stay was dampened by the property's dated and poorly maintained condition. Ant infestations were a notable discomfort, detracting from the island's charm. Attention to maintenance is crucial for a better visitor experience.

Great & relaxing family holiday
Wonderful stay - Heron Island is such a special place! Snorkelling / diving was outstanding - turtles, rays, sharks and other marine life everywhere. We liked the new al-a-carte menu at the restaurant, although the bar cutting back on the options for simple / fast food like they used to have was a shame. Lucky to have pretty good weather as well for January - was hot & humid though. Suggest check fans in your room to make sure they are not in "winter" mode.

Amazing family wee stay, 2 days in paradise!
This island is amazing!! Wildlife galore! We came for the sealife sharks, turtles and fish etc and it didnt dissapoint! Birds are everywhere... if you like birds this island is good for bird lovers! The ferry over - booking went smoothly. Parked car in carpark opposite paid for but secured. Was choppy crossing but staff were helpful and always checkjng the kids were ok and not feeljng sick etc. Room- we went with 2 bedroom beach room. It was great view onto beach, spacious. Basic room with all what you needed. Room had a celing fan not aircon so was hot but its a 3 star property. Staffing- staff all over island we felt were friendly and helpful. Always happy to hear we having good time. Big shout out to 2 guys the man siging in bar was ace and deserves a mention. Also our turtle tour at night was brilliant. Tour guide was great loves his job! Wildlife - wow we seen so much. Just standing in paddling water and see sharks. Meals - we were quite happy wjth the food overall. Breakfast was a good selection, plenty to pick from. Lunch could have done with smaller lunch snack type food menu. Diners- both nights we had rhe butter chicken as was so good!! We found it ok priced too. Few reviews werent happg wjth the cost of buffets... i think they changed it now and its a menu instead buffets. Nice pool area. Free boardgames and pool etc in the bar. Defo recommend this place and hope to be back again!!

We absolutely loved our stay at Heron Island. It was picture perfect. The snorkelling was incredible, so much marine life right off the shore. The staff were all incredible and super friendly. I've seen some bad reviews about the accommodation which was basic but fine, same as the food which was actually good. Also people complaining about no phone reception or tv although we found it was very refreshing to completely switch off from the rest of the world. If you can't enjoy Heron Island for what it is and need fancy accommodation and internet, then go somewhere else!
