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.

We absolutely loved our stay at Heron Island. It was picture perfect. The snorkelling was incredible, so much marine life right off the shore. The staff were all incredible and super friendly. I've seen some bad reviews about the accommodation which was basic but fine, same as the food which was actually good. Also people complaining about no phone reception or tv although we found it was very refreshing to completely switch off from the rest of the world. If you can't enjoy Heron Island for what it is and need fancy accommodation and internet, then go somewhere else!

Our week at Heron Island was wonderful - the facilities made accessing the outstanding marine life a joy.

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.
