Lizard Island Resort

“Paradise Island for the snorkeling and just enjoy live!”

Beautiful island with such a nice vibe. Food was excellent. Gorgeous beaches all to yourself. Quality really above expectations. Staff really friendly and nice. Coral reef of clams garden not damaged (it grew back) thanks to the re-planting by the research center and the snorkeling sites in the reef near by is absolutely stunning and not bleached at all. All other reefs attached to the island is breached. So definitely recommend booking a private charter that goes out to open sea (limited availability). Yes expensive but better to do it perfect in one time than half. And due to the remote location worth value for money.

“Inconsistent and tired”

There is a lot to like about lizard island but they really have a lot to improve. The real reason to come is to experience the reef in a more remote, leas crowded and easier way than going from The Cairns area.

There is a lot to like about lizard island but they really have a lot to improve. The real reason to come is to experience the reef in a more remote, leas crowded and easier way than going from The Cairns area. If you are simply looking for a luxury Australian lodge experience in this price range I would consider the other options, most notably the Great Ocean Lodge on Kangaroo Island where the view, food, service, excursions and property were very significantly better. In my case, The weather limited diving which made coming to this remote island disappointing. The food at LI is very good. Our Dive master, Jordan was excellent. She has a positive and competent demeanor and a passion for her Role. Well beyond her 25 years in many ways. The property is tired and not well cared for in many ways. The ceiling fan in our room was filthy for our entire stay and there was noticeable dirt on the ceiling in the restaurant. The generally beautiful beach was full of garbage at both ends but very bad near the marlin bar where we found toothbrushes and lots of other garbage. The boardwalk to tree room is a few years beyond its lifespan. While the service was generally good there were times it wasn't. For example, we went to Blue lagoon and were given bag with a cabana to set up on our own while 2 staff, otherwise not busy, offered no help until we asked.

“A great resort but standards are declining.”

My wife and I had 8 lovely nights on Lizard. It was our third visit. The restaurant staff and Beach Hut staff were really accomodating, however the food has definitely gone downhill. For the money we paid we expect 5 star meals. The meals were adequate but nowhere near as good as our previous visit… lisää

My wife and I had 8 lovely nights on Lizard. It was our third visit. The restaurant staff and Beach Hut staff were really accomodating, however the food has definitely gone downhill. For the money we paid we expect 5 star meals. The meals were adequate but nowhere near as good as our previous visits. Prawns and lobster were regularly available, but not now. Lizard Island Resort provides a relaxing and rejuvinating holiday, however the penny pinching in the restaurant is not acceptable.

“Chairs, chairs, chairs!!”

The resort is quite lovely. The highlights are the location and the food. The chef is outstanding and the meals are very well thought-out and delicious.

The resort is quite lovely. The highlights are the location and the food. The chef is outstanding and the meals are very well thought-out and delicious. The staff is also really good and goes above and beyond to be helpful. Paige at the dive shack loaned me her diving gloves and Ivo, Amanda/Andrea (from Missouri) in the dining room were spectacular! Several of the reviews said that the rooms need refurbishing but, in our opinion that wasn’t the biggest problem. While there is a lot to do here - diving, snorkeling, hiking, there are times that you want to just sit and enjoy the resort. This is nearly impossible. None of the chairs are comfortable. The lounges on the beaches are stretched-out or ripped (sunset beach), the lounges at the pool do not recline all the way though they have very nice cushions and it’s completely unfortunate that the pool has no view of the water. And finally, at the rooms themselves there really is no outside spot to relax. Each room seems to have only a beanbag — and only 1!! Though the porches at the rooms tend to be small, there really has to be a more comfortable alternative! Also, it’s super nice to have the portable cabanas — which the staff was very nice to set up for me at Sunset Beach — but those too are in need of refurbishing. These are such small updates which could be done EVERY season and it would make a huge improvement.
