The perfect place to get married!!! We were looking for a very private wedding, just the two of us, and after contacting the hotel, they helped arrange everything. They arranged a celebrant (Vivian) to fly in to perform the ceremony, and with the help of Nicole, Heather and David all our wedding needs were taken care of. David and Heather were our witnesses, and David (Resort Photographer) took some amazing pictures... the day ended with a very romantic 7 course dinner on the beach, served to perfection by Claudio - Steve and Alice

Lizard Island is a very special place... quiet, serene remote with sunsets to die for, it was the perfect choice for our 50th wedding anniversary. The staff is friendly and attentive - responsive to every request. - Russ

A spectacular island and resort! It is truly a wonderful experience from the beach to the water, the sunsets, the sea life, the birds and the spa pampering. The staff could not be more accommodating, professional, and helpful all in a most impressive and genuine manner. The accommodation is tops; well kept and maintained. The bar and dining atmosphere is friendly and a pleasant atmosphere - the food was truly a gastronomic treat - every meal! We left feeling so relaxed and extremely well looked after. Definitely 5 star hotel and attention. - Linda

If you are looking for the most friendly, comfortable, and exquisite place to relax, this is it! Sand, sun, snorkel, dive, boat, paddle board, hike, relax. It’s all here! The spa was awesome with Beck, best pedicure ever. Ava was awesome on the beach, Magic was totally chill and helpful. The whole crew on the dive boat was awesome. The cabins on the beach are amazing. But the food, and diversity of menus was off the chart. Wine pairings to match. - Tom

We arrived via small plane to our own private paradise. The rooms were large, tasteful and beautifully appointed. The staff was wonderful, warm and welcoming and the dining experience superb. Add to that the beauty of the Great Barrier Reef and you are truly in paradise. - Lisa
