Green Island Resort

The place was deserted after 4pm and it was like being on your own private Island. But, between 10am and 4pm it was way too crowded with day trippers.

Accommodation secluded in amongst the trees was nice with the private resort pool

We enjoyed our stay on the resort. It’s very touristy during the day but worth it when the crowds leave for the evening. We booked during the wet season so it wasn’t as worth the price due to weather. Be careful walking around when it’s wet as all the walkways and stairs get very slippery. My husband and I both fell while walking around the resort since the wood walkways and stairs have no grip to them.

All good, rooms were clean and comfortable. Fun activities. Friendly staff.

Just what we wanted and needed to end a long stay in the country for family.

We had a great stay at Green Island and the location, hotel and staff were all fantastic. Some reviewers feel that the influx of day trippers was a detraction, but our experience was that there were plenty of places to enjoy lying on the beach during the day that were almost deserted and so were quiet and peaceful. Also the sunset drinks was an excellent way to celebrate the departure of the masses and regain the tranquillity of the island for those lucky enough to be staying at the resort. Wandering along the jetty with a glass of bubbles in hand spotting turtles, stingrays and shovel nosed rays while watching the sun set was a real pleasure. The snorkelling near the jetty and off the patrolled beach, while certainly not pristine environments, was varied and interesting, and being able to get there via a short walk was exactly what we were looking for. We went to one or both every day during our six day stay and it never got boring as there was always something new to see. Watching a large turtle complacently grazing as we swam past never ceased to amaze. We took two trips on the snorkelling boat at the island and the coral was really wonderful at both sites we visited. We also took an outer reef trip, and whilst it was sad to see the extent of damage from bleaching, there were lots of fish (including a reef shark or two) and areas of beautiful coral so it's definitely worth doing.

Amazing place and staff members, special thanks to Eason that made my first diving experience unforgettable ! His serenity helped me to relax and enjoy this moment, I warmly recommend this place, my husband and I really felt as guest and not only customers, the young lady with curly hair at the breakfast even remembered our room number, that are details that make the difference

Green island is a lovely rainforest covered island close to Cairns with v good guest facilities ,decent food & easy access to diving,etc.,Lots of day trippers but they cause no hassle for guests ,great for a few nights .

Staff were lovely. Beds and pillows poor quality. Too many day tourist. No seperation of beach facilities for residents and day trippers. Area designated for snorkling near beach, coral damaged and area too crowded with day trippers. Definitely would not recommend, spend your money on an island further away.

Island resort with lovely rooms and great snorkeling
