It's good. There is no Internet on the island. You have to buy wifi. It costs 25 Australian dollars a day and is only for one device. If you can put down your mobile phone. Just bring your own slippers and toiletries. The room has toiletries, hair dryer, and towels.

The place has changes from 30yrs ago when I stayed there for the 1st time. It is still a beautiful place with great diving. It was good to see that reefs around it were not damaged. More rooms and upgraded facilities. No more just back packers. Now, it is more for families, couples, and older people. With proper diving boats now, diving was certainly more comfortable.

Heron Island is an amazing place. So much wildlife just outside the door of your room. From turtles, rays, sharks to multiple different birds. It’s easy to snorkel off the beaches. The resort offers a range of activities. We loved our time there.

The location is amazing and the kayaking, snorkeling, bird and reef tours were fun and informative. The breakfast was ok, but the dinner was terrible. I don’t understand why it has to be that way.

Wonderful stay at Heron Island! Snorkeling and diving were excellent! The naturalists/guides were super informative and engaging. I-spy boat worth it, especially if you have anyone in your group not interested in snorkeling. If it’s a clear day, you will see lots of fish and coral. Food in the restaurant was really good, plenty of variety, good portions, friendly staff. (Prices comparable to good restaurants elsewhere.) Espresso drinks and cocktails at the bar were tasty! Room was clean, beds were comfy, extra blankets available in case you get chilly. We did end up spending an extra day because a storm rolled in earlier than expected and the ferry out was cancelled. But, the reception folks were great at getting us situated back in a room and arranging a helicopter ride out as soon as possible. (Far more expensive than the ferry, just a heads up.) Good to book your activities early, before you arrive on the island. Sign up for the walks and talks when you get there - some limit the number of participants, and the guides are awesome, so definitely worth joining in if you can. Bring a good book in case it rains. Make sure your plans after have some flexibility in case the weather turns and you have to stay an extra day or more. We went end of July, not crowded at all, really pleasant temperature. Planned three nights, which was plenty to do everything we wanted.

Facilities seem a little old. But nature is wonderful, so it's not a problem.
