The Pavillion Collection is in an unbeatable location, right on the beach, and our room with a bay view was absolutely stunning. It felt more like a beautifully designed home rather than just a rental. The attention to detail was incredible—gorgeous furniture, carefully curated decor, and even thoughtfully selected books on the shelves. This wasn’t just a generic apartment; it had a real sense of style and personality, as if someone had designed it with love and care. Some standout features were the Terrazzo tables, the incredibly comfortable bed, and the beautiful sliding door between the living room and bedroom, which gave the space an elegant and cozy feel. It’s the kind of place where you actually want to spend time, not just a spot to sleep. While the music from Paradiso downstairs was quite loud, they stopped playing at 9:30 PM, so it wasn’t an issue at all. We are truly grateful to have spent two nights here—a fantastic place and an absolute must-stay! 10/10 or more

The location of the place is amazing. You step out of the property and you're in the heart of the town. Located by the close beach, right next to a lagoon with a free swimming pool, next to the many reataurants, and very short walk from a big supermarket where you can buy everything you might need. The apartment is fully equipped, dishes, washing machine, cooking pots, toaster, very big fridge. There's a balcony with some furniture, overlooking a little park, beach and the ferris wheel. The host was very friendly and helpful, providing clean towels every day.

    Absolutely stunning place. Turquoise waters, beaches with corals chiming under your feet, spectacular sunsets, plenty of secluded spaces to enjoy the views in total silence, wallabies (little kangaroos) everywhere, birds, rainforest walks. Lagoons and pools with local coral fish and rays – and underwater observatory to have the best possible view of the coral reef ecosystem even without snorkelling. Beautiful swimming pools. Pretty much everything you could wish for.

    It's beautiful and relaxing place, nice and big pool. I love the sunset and the sunrise and the color of the beach. They have some free activity for the kids which is good. It's such a good place to gathering and enjoy free time with family. The food is nice too. There is a bonus point for the restaurant as the give free food for kids under 12 years old. The staff are nice and friendly, my children love to play kayak.

    One half of the island is vibrant and lively, featuring an amazing reef, elegant restaurants, and even an aquarium. Lovers Cove beach, with its stunning corals and breathtaking sunsets, made the visit worthwhile. The adorable kangaroos added a cute and charming touch to the stay.

    The resort itself is not bad, bedrooms renovated and fairly new facilities in the main area of the resort. But the older part of it is pretty dead like a ghost town, sports facilities pretty old and not taken care off. The snorkeling options are all enclosed in tanks rather than open in the ocean, and pretty pricey for what it is. Not proper sandy beach to swim due to the reefs. Outdoor cinema was not working.

    Location, Infinity restaurant, lovely staff, nice spots to watch sunset, lots of activities for during the day. Lovers cove is nice but sunset is better at the beach further down the island.

    Lovely, well maintained resort and very well priced compared to other Whitsunday Islands. We were upgraded to an ocean view which had a stunning view! Breakfast was excellent with a great selection, staff were all helpful and friendly and there was ample room by the many pools to sit back and relax. Views were gorgeous! We particularly enjoyed the living reef, a great place to visit daily and just watch the sea life, and loved the sunset drinks at Lovers Cove, too. The perfect spot for a relaxing family holiday - we'll definitely return.
