“In my opinion, this property certainly aims high with its luxury positioning near the Great Barrier Reef, but some experiences seem inconsistent with the pricing. The location is stunning, offering access to iconic beaches and natural wonders like Heart Reef, and the residences promise unparalleled seclusion. However, reports of untrained staff and inflated activity costs suggest that the execution sometimes falls short of its five-star ambitions, particularly for seasoned travelers accustomed to impeccable service.”
