Everything. My partner and I stayed for 6 nights, The rooms were absolutely perfect. We couldn’t recommend the Coral Sea resort enough. We had the best holiday. - Emma - Booking.com

Beautiful location and venue which drew us to holding a destination wedding. Due to rain we couldn't hold on lawn as planned but ended up on jetty. Sharon the wedding coordinator was very professional and so helpful during all the pre-work and planning. Last minute changes handled well too. Ceremony only. - Kylie O.

Amazing ocean view, tasty cocktails and the seafood platter for 2 on the dinner menu was absolutely mouthwatering! Best meal we have had on the Whitsundays! Fresh king prawns, oysters kilpatrick to die for, tender calamari, grilled Balmain bugs, the most tastiest reef fish I have ever eaten and delicious French style mussels and clams with a fresh fennel garden salad. Felt like paradise sipping cocktails watching the sunset then feasting on local seafood. So glad we made the decision to dine here and can’t wait to return for another visit! - _miss_renae_8 - tripadvisor

Planning our wedding diner from abroad was made seamless thanks to the highly responsive events planning team, who maintained excellent communication throughout the booking process. They were incredibly accommodating, even tailoring the menu to our preferences by incorporating additional meat options. From coordinating with our vendors to accommodating special requests, the staff truly went above and beyond to make our reception unforgettable. The ambiance was perfect with cozy lighting and elegant décor creating a romantic atmosphere in front of the marina. We rented the Cabana so it was very private. The service throughout the evening was impeccable. The staff were attentive, friendly and went out of their way to ensure that everything ran smoothly. The food served was exceptional, exceeding our expectations and delighting all of our guests. Every dish was beautifully presented and delicious. We are incredibly grateful to the team for making our wedding reception a truly unforgettable experience. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to celebrate our special day. Thank you for your outstanding service and hospitality. – Julie and Ludovic - Julie and Ludovic
