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

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

The resort is in need of a refurbishment as it is 'tired.' The activities were good and there was plenty to do for families. Pools were great, although one of the pools had a swim-up bar which was closed during an extremely busy time of year. We stayed in a ground floor beachfront room and the location was fantastic, the... more

This place is awful! What a shame to have such a beautiful island spoiled with such a horrible resort. We stayed in a beachfront room. It did have a great view of the beach, but it looked as though it had been decorated as cheaply as possible. Everything was dated, there were mould stains on the bathroom walls, the pillows... more

After a week on Dunk Island at the same time last year, we were looking forward to another relaxing, idyllic Island holiday. We booked a 7 day stay with 2 small children (3 1/2 and 1 1/2 years old) at Great Keppel Resort. The natural resources of Great Keppel Island are beautiful. Great clean beaches for the kids to play.... more

Normally we go overseas for our holidays (have never needed to complain about any of trips have always had a great time & excellent service). Thought we would stay in Aussie this time probably won't again. We just got back from Great Keppel & I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. We were only there for 1 hour & we already... more

This being our second visit to Great Keppel Island we were already aware that paying a little extra for the Hillside Villas was the way to go. Being a bit larger and Air-conditioned made the stay a lot more comfortable for the four of us (2 adults & 2 kids). The food was a lot better than our previous visit... more
