Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort

Frommer's Review

Accommodations here are fairly basic, but visitors come for the Reef, not the room. Because of the relatively low number of guests, you pretty much get the Reef to yourself. Top of the range are air-conditioned Island suites, which have one or two separate bedrooms and great sea views from the deck. Most Reef rooms have double beds and two bunks and decks with views through the trees to the sea. Shearwater bunk rooms sleep up to six. All room types have modern private bathrooms. The cool, spacious safari-tent ecocabins have four bunks, electric lighting, and timber floors, but share the public toilets and showers used by day guests. The limited facilities include a boutique, an education center, and a dive shop, which runs shore and boat dives, introductory dives, and rents equipment. The resort has no air-conditioning, no keys (secure storage is at the front desk), no TVs, no radio, and one public telephone. The food is basic. A low-key program of mostly free activities includes glass-bottom-boat rides, badminton, guided walks, and beach volleyball.

Facilities:
Cafe/bistro; bar; dining room; saltwater pool; children's program (ages 3-12) during Queensland school holidays
