    No acknowledgement of it being our honeymoon. Lack of heating in restaurants. TV didn't work but was replaced on our 2nd night.

    Lovely resort with great facilities, especially when warmer in summer. We visited in winter. Room was nice, a good size.

    The staff at the concierge desk were quite abrupt with us on arrival and I continue to get an online check-in request through booking.com despite being checked-in and having now left Fraser Island. I was on the island without reception when first receiving these with a very unappreciated threat that my booking would be cancelled if I didn't comply and fill in the check-in electronically. Not appreciated! The breakfast service was also quite slow.

    The room was comfortable and clean.

    Food was below our expectations it was more like pub food with the exception of the restaurant Dune. Was very disappointing that there is no local fresh produce especially no fresh fish considering the location is apparently one of the best fishing places in Australia….. also we found breakfast very underwhelming often running if key items.

    Lovely balcony over looking a relaxing pond. The reception area was very nice and in keeping with the eco environment. Good & informative ranger talks plus they were free

    Drinks prices were high - but probably to be expected given you are on an island / resort.

    Breakfast was delicious and lots of great choices. The room was clean and quiet. All the cleaning staff were very friendly and would say hello whenever you passed them.

    Kingfisher is a beautiful place to stay with the added advantage of being able to explore paradise.

    It would be nice to see a menu change at the buffet breakfast. If you're there for a longer stay, it would be nice to have a few more options over the period. Some more GF options would also be a bonus. Heating for the pool or spa at least would be a great added bonus.

    We love staying at Kingfisher Bay Resort. The staff are lovely and approachable, where nothing is ever too much trouble. All three restaurants have some delicious options and you are able to order everything takeaway. Any time of year is a perfect time to visit, but if you're not travelling with kids, it is always better out of school holidays. The Ilumina light show is fabulous, a definite must for all ages.

    The breakfast experience was terrible. There was no cutlery or glassware, the buffet was run down and not replenished and all the tables were full of uncleared dishes. Clearly the main restaurant was severely understaffed and didn’t have enough supplies - and it wasn’t even super busy!! The pool was run down, the pool and restaurant tables overlooking the pool were dirty ans this made the whole place lack ambience and refinement. The main restaurants menu was super basic and not great food. The only dinner restaurant was a little better food but saw they turned away guest after guest as they were booked out. When there is no other option a resort MUST offer guests a decent place to have dinner! We were shocked it was so badly catered for given they know room bookings so far in advance.

    Our room location of overlooking the billabong was great. The ranger’s tour was informative and interesting.

    The lack of service at breakfast. There wasn’t enough staff to clean and clear the tables. Had to do before could sit down to eat. No cutlery etc.

    How it’s nestled into the landscape. The pool area and lake. Beautiful.

    The hotel is very outdated so it feels way to expensive for the quality of the room. The restaurants available on the resort are quite expensive and lack variety. The personal was not always friendly. We were travelling with a young baby and the staff denied to warm up her meal in the micro wave even though she was screaming. We also asked for extra blanket for the baby cot which was very rudimental but they never brought it.

    The location is perfect, the transport services are great. The view when waking is exceptional and the activities organised are great.
