If it weren't for all the fun activities and water sports offered at this resort, it would be a lost cause. There aren't many options for food (which isn't that great anyway), the rooms are mediocre at best, but the activities...wow, what a savior. We rode camels on the beach, went jet skiing out in the ocean, went on the... More

We re called this mediorce island and found the rooms, service, food and activities woeful. We had such a bad time that we left two days early. We were members of the Mercue club but resigned after we complained almost daily to management and then when we got home we called and wrote letters to no avail. The whold resort... More

We decided to stay at Great Keppel resort on our way to Townsville. What a mistake. The arrival on the island is great. The ferry literally beaches onto the sand. A representative from the resort meets you and off you go by foot to the resort. Unfortunately you are required to follow the guide around while he explains where everything... More

My girlfriend and I took a trip to this resort, as a surprise birthday gift from a relative just over a year ago, and while we had a good time, there were a number of things that really let the trip down. First of all, I just have to mention how beautiful Great Keppel actually is. The beach is amazing,... More

Seen the ads on the TV, checked out the website and thought WOW what a great place to take our overseas visitors. Had read the reviews on here so went over with an open mind. Yes the resort was really tired but the rooms were clean - we arrived as they had closed most of the resort for renovations so... More

Quite possibly our worst holiday ever. The resort really needs to be knocked down rather than renovated. Pictures of the place are really misleading, very disappointing. Swimming pools are 70's style and need remodelling. The resort is understaffed, with mostly young, transient travellers being employed. I gave up asking them questions as invariably they didn't know much about resort/island and... More

Holiday from 19-24/12/2007. 5 adults 3 children, 11, 5 and 1+. Resort does need work, however totally family friendly facilities and activities were great. Food was good, vegies and selection. Encourage HillSide Villas in hot weather for aircon. Staff helpful and courteous. Area great for exploring. Will book again to go.

After reading for other reviews on this website, i booked into the resort with various doubts on what kind of holiday i will have spent my money on. I even went as far as emailing the resort and asked if it would be worth going, i received a personal phone call from the GM, Anthony Cleary and the basic message... More

Well, I have just come back from a weeks stay at Great Keppel Island Resort....I haven't been here since being a child, and to be honest not a lot has changed - you could look at this as a bad thing, but also added to the familiarity of it all. The Shell house is still there and the shark mouth... More
