Frommer's Review

This is a private and romantic hideaway, with no phone, radio, television, or air-conditioning in the rooms . . . but there is a hammock on every veranda. The beachfront bures (a kind of hut common in Polynesia) have a glamorous Balinese style, and the dining and bar area overlooks the gorgeous pool area, which is surrounded by timber decking. The Platinum Suite is a luxury two-bedroom house on the hill behind the bures. Each bedroom has its own private entry and bathroom, and features a separate lounge with large plasma TVs and stereo. A wide wraparound deck has views of the Whitsunday Passage. For those who want to be active, there are nonmotorized watersports, such as kayaking, available, or you can just head to the day spa.

Facilities:
Restaurant and bar; outdoor pool; lit tennis court; Jacuzzi; watersports; tour desk; spa; coin-op laundry; laundry service; dry cleaning

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
