Fodor's Review:

This stylish, high-tech marriage of glass, stainless steel, dark timber, and corrugated iron nestles in the tree-covered dunes of the island's west coast. The impressive lobby, with its cathedral ceiling and polished floorboards, leads out to wraparound decks with outdoor dining areas and one of the resort's four pools. Lodgings include elegantly furnished standard rooms with balconies, lovely villas, and wilderness lodges for groups. Rangers conduct informative four-wheel-drive eco tours; free nature walks; spotlighting tours; and whale-, dugong-, and dolphin-watch cruises in season. Children can join junior ranger or kids' club activities. Free fishing classes and boat rentals are available: the chefs here will even cook your catch! You can hire canoes, catamarans, and snorkeling gear; or get pampered at the spa/salon. There are medical facilities and an ATM on-site. Seabelle's excellent menu incorporates native ingredients and local seafood, with vegetarian options. Maheno restaurant has nightly themed buffet dinners; the Wilderness Bar nightclub is a short shuttle bus-ride from reception. Accommodation-meal packages are available.
