Luxury beachfront hotel where you can walk for miles along the magnificent Mission Beach shoreline. Ideally located near the stinger net for swimming at the beach during the stinger season and within walkable distance to nearby alternative dining options. Gorgeous, refurbished pool to cool off in and plenty of comfy seating areas to gaze out to the views of Dunk Island. Most importantly the staff are attentive and super friendly!

Upon check in staff were rude. Rooms were dirty due to age and are very outdated, grout in bathroom and bathroom tiles are disgusting. Pool was dirty and full of leaves and bottom of pool was slimy. I asked if they could clean pool but never got done.

We arrived late on evening after our road trip. The hotel was wonderful and the staff was great. Dinner was also wonderful. The only issue we had is the shower water drained all over the bathroom floor. Thus we had to use the clean white towels to soak up the water. Bad shower design. Other than that everything was wonderful.

1 start for Rainforest
The booking information advised the the property was separate feom the main resort but i didnt expect it to be on another street. The only "Castaways" about our accommodation was the sign. It was called "Rainforest" which suggests lush tropical gardens. Around the daggy pool, it was slightly tropical compared to the front of the building which look like a wasteland. Turns out we were staying in the staff accommodation building. Stomping in the room above us all the time. The car park was a old garden bed it seemed and the abilities of the staff to park in straight lines to allow other parking around the various trees was next to nill. The resort on the other hand was 5 star compared to our 1 star. And we only used the lobby for 10 minutes. A better description of location with a better price point to reflect "Rainforest " still would leave a sour taste.

Location with the beachfront was great. That was where the positives ended. Our room had water leaking from the wall, a damaged light switch in the bathroom and the base of the toilet was leaking. There were also cockroaches. This resort is in desperate need of significant renovation.

Poor experience
Hotel is nicely situated on the beach, beautiful views. We thought dinner on the beach would be lovely, but we were told we couldn’t do that as staff were too busy as there was a wedding. Our room was right next to where the wedding was held so very noisy til 1130 pm. Room was tired and run down. If hotel wants to host weddings, fine, but don’t book in other guests, and definitely don’t room them right next to the wedding.

Average property in a good location right on the beach and short walk to restaurants and bars. Pool area and rooms are tired, worn and dated. In room facilities extremely limited. Staff were friendly and accomodating but I do not consider this good value for the price we paid so would not recommend or stay here again.
