From the moment you arrive on Orpheus Island you are made to feel like one of the Orpheus family. My husband and I attended a family wedding where the island had been booked exclusively. The staff cannot do enough for you. They are professional, yet relaxed and extremely friendly - really wanting to get to know you and are chatty.... More

We thoroughly enjoyed this resort. The staff is absolutely first class and the location is great for enjoying all the Great Barrier Reef has to offer - snorkeling, diving, fishing - you can do as much or as little as you like. They even have small dingies available so you can strike out on your own and explore your surroundings... More

If you want to really relax, enjoy peace and quiet at a resort with an emphasis on good food, good service and brilliant location then Orpheus is the place. The staff are friendly, circumspect, polite and nothing is too much trouble. You can do as much or as little as you like. We were not into snorkelling, diving and trips... More

It was less than 5 hours from our front door in Sydney to the world's best ever welcome drink at Orpheus Island. That included the 2.5 hour scheduled flight and the 25 minute spectacular helicopter flight out to this lovely little National Park island on the Great Barrier Reef.

We traveled to Orpheus for our Honeymoon. We had an amazing time! The place is really beautiful, the infrastructure is excellent and the staff very kind, friendly and helpful! We did many different activities: snorkeling, fishing, sunset cruise, exploring private beaches. The food is very good too! We would come back for sure!

We married 2001 on Orpheus Island and it was just amazing! This Island was the best Resort we've ever been so far. Lovely staff, perfect food and excellent hospitality!!! Although it has his price - it's worth every penny!!! Enjoy and love it! PS: we're still married in love - therefore it was worth it :)

My family (including four very well-behaved and well-travelled little girls) visited Orpheus Island in early January of 2013. It is the definition of casual luxury -- this is NOT a place for the pretentious "see and be seen" crowd -- but to us the atmosphere was unique and unrivalled. The staff is top notch in terms of warmth, caring, and... More

We traveled to Orpheus for 5 nights for our Honeymoon and it was pure perfection! As some of the other guests indicated, it's not for everyone. If you want a pretentious atmosphere where a pool-boy spritzes you with Evian, don't go to Orpheus. If you want complete privacy (rooms away from each other), then you may want to consider another...
