Great rooms etc, but very bad for food choices and way overpriced for food. Breakfast choice is only a buffet at 42$ per head and the spread seems to be slightly stale bread, cold perhaps one day to 2 day old pastries etc. Definitely will avoid breakfast there for sure.

This was a dream come true stay for the one day we stayed. (We were evacuated our second day due to cyclone). The staff went above and beyond. The room was great. You get a lot of extra amenities included like the transfer to and from the island, snorkeling and the glass bottom boat tour. The best part was after 430 the day tourists left and we had the whole island to ourselves with only 29 guests staying over night. Overall it was the best day of vacation I ever had.

We had an amazing 3 nights and couldn’t be happier with our time and beautiful new memories we have made as a family. Biggest stand out is the staff - nothing was too much trouble. Restaurant staff were amazing, happy to improvise our breakfast requests and make us feel welcomed. Swimming with the turtles was breathtaking & will remain a memorable experience for all of us. I’d like to add - before our arrival we had read so many reviews & some of them negative towards the day trippers, so we weren’t quite sure what to expect - but aside from it being busy around the cafe, bar and other eating areas, overall it really wasn’t that bad. By 4pm when the last lot of day trippers had left, you had the whole island to guests only. It really was something special and I highly recommend a stay if you are thinking about it.

Green Island is a beautiful and peaceful resort set in a tasteful natural habitat. Lots and lots of things to do on such a small island and an excellent location to explore the reef. We loved our stay in the beautiful apartment and felt quite secluded. Perfect for couples 😍

Wonderful, unique island, great staff, friendly. Reef suites are a classic design and spotlessly clean and spacious. Terrific snorkelling off beach beside pier, on the fringe and outer reef. The various reefs ARE in great shape with healthy coral and myriad fish. Dive shop team led by the extraordinary Craig, are outstanding. Emerald Restaurant's current food offering is expensive and virtually inedible. This was our 5th, five night stay on Green Island. Everything, except the restaurant met our high expectations. Resort is not viable unless the restaurant and food offering on the island are dramatically upgraded to competitive global standards.

The resort is small and has a feel of luxury. The room was large and the woodwork in the room was gorgeous. The bathroom was well appointed and the veranda backed on to rainforest. The room felt very private and you are not overlooked by other guests. The pool area was very relaxing and the staff were very friendly. It felt like a private island after the day guests left at 4.30. Highly recommended, you would not be disappointed.

One of my favourite places to visit - the scenery is stunning - you literally can’t take a bad photo. Daily snorkelling and walks along the beach or through the rainforest. The staff are delightful and don’t miss daily fish feeding followed by sunset drinks after the day trippers leave. Already planning my next stay!

The rooms were clean. Be careful of the birds swimming in the pool and stealing food from customers' plates in the restaurant. It's a shame that there is very little to do in bad weather.
