Great Barrier Reef Hotel Reviews
Most inhabited islands have just one main resort, usually offering a range of lodging types and prices. Choose island destinations based on your budget and the kind of vacation you want—active, relaxed, or a mix. Offerings range from white-glove service (Lizard, Orpheus, Hayman islands) to eco-focused island resorts (Long Island). All but the most rustic and zero-footprint resorts have modern conveniences such as air-conditioning, telephones, televisions, refrigerators, and Internet access—though on some Barrier Reef islands connections can be slow and mobile phone coverage limited or non-existent.
