We stayed 2 nights at this amazing island resort. This is the first time we have snorkeled so don't have any basis for comparison, but the snorkeling experience on this island was great. The dive staff are competent, patient, and happy to assist with any questions. We stayed in the reef room and had a wonderful view of the reef... more

We returned to Lady Elliot Island after 17 years, rather a risky thing to do as the reality may not live up to the memory, but we were not disappointed. This little coral island sits in a blue sea surrounded by a reef. The view from the plane as it circles before touchdown gives a wonderful introduction. The island is... more

I stayed in an eco hut on Lady Elliot Island for two nights in Oct 09, at the very start of my holiday to Oz, having never dived or snorkelled in my life before. The plane flight from Hervey Bay to the island was 40 min long, and i managed to catch a few glimpses of some humpback whales en... more

We have been to LEI four times now. the last three with our two kids now aged 9 &12. Three of us scuba dive so that's a big factor for us, the underwater action is great. We got to see Manta's this time, and listen to whales whilst we glided along on our drift dives. Topside, the island is full... more

We stayed in the reef unit and paid ~$210 per night and took the pay 4 stay 5 offer. I dislike most the small basin in the bathroom. It is more like a handwash basin. The linen also gives a sensation of dampness especially the top sheet. Despite being a buffer style dinner, sometimes you are served "portions" especially on... more

I am the owner of a Travel Agency in NY and just returned from LE Aug 18 2009. I visited the resort in 1985 when it first opened for tourism. This is not an island for those seeking a large resort with all the frills but rather for those looking for a quite place and a back to nature expierence... more

Having read some of the reviews on this site we headed to the island with fairly low expectations. I'd warned the boys it would be like heading to a campsite. In some respects it was. It's very low key with fairly basic facilities however the snorkelling is FANTASTIC! Our boys are 12 and 14 and they were blown away with... more

We had a wonderful time at the island. We took the morning flight from Hervey Bay and it looked a lot longer than 2 days. As it is the only resort it is an all inclusive. We did a reef walk with a marine biologist, she was very knowledgeable and nice. She told us so much about the animals that... more

Let me make it clear from the start that me and my husband only did a day trip to the Island so cannot comment on the rooms. But I wanted to leave a review as we had the best day of our hoilday on the Island. The plane trip out was great and we were met by friendly staff who... more
