I love the Resort but parking area is too small, you can still parking your car but after that you can not get out from your car. They put list Menu in the bed room ( not much food in the list), and when i tried to order the foods for dinner there is none in the restaurant/ no food.... more

Please take note we had absolutely no expectations - Free flights to Mackay on Tiger Airways, why not take 3 days off by the pool. Dolphin Heads Resort doesn't claim to be 5 stars. The rooms are clean. All was working properly. The site is very well maintained, the pool is great, the band playing for the entire afternoon was... more

Lunch- Fish burger, consisting of sliced packet cheese some salad and imported reheated fish from a box you can find at the supermarket. Went to get a cocktail afterwards but the lady at the bar was "too busy" to knock one up for us, the queue was of average length though. perfect example of poor customer service. Staff aren't very... more

We arrived late on Friday night, for a 2 night stay due to a family wedding (held at the resort). 3 of us were sharing a triple room, but I hardly got any sleep since one of the beds creaked noisily anytime one of us moved on it. Since reception closes at 8pm, we couldn't change our room that night.... more

We stayed for three nights, room was okay. The bed was like a rock. Had a decent shower. Breakfast very poor value; you don't even get real coffee. The staff were okay but didn't seem too 'enthralled', and had a lot of rules. For instance; you can't access the 'courtesy' bus unless you are staying with them at least 3... more

We stayed at Dolphin Heads Resort for one night during a last minute stop-over in Mackay and found our stay to be relaxing and enjoyable. We were happy with our beachfront room with its terracotta tiles, comfortable bedding and views to the water. The breeze was beautiful and the sound of the waves crashing at night as we drifted off... more

Dolphin Heads is pretty remote, so if you stay here, you'll definitely want a car. There is little to do. No one was on the beach; no one was by the pool. The room felt "cold", even in this tropical climate. The bed was TERRIBLE! My husband thinks that it's from kids jumping on it. I think it's from years... more

This resort was okay. We just stayed one night and I won't really want to stay much longer. We paid $130 AUD per night. The breakfast was not a very good value. more
