    When sitting outside it is not very personal, everyone's outdoor area faces each other. This is a minor downfall to a rather lovely place to stay. Thank you.

    Rooms are very central to pool, tennis court and entry. Rooms are very clean and tidy and have everything you need for a short or long stay. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. plenty of room for the kids to stay. Would definitely stay again.

    Honestly everything! Rachel was extremely helpful and welcoming. Giving us lots of information on our arrival and throughout our stay. The accommodation was stunning and clean. It had everything we needed, perfect. It was on the bus route and walking distance to Nelly Bay so couldn’t offer much more.

    We had an amazing time on magnetic island staying at island leisure resort! The team was lovely, they made us feel very welcomed and gave us many useful tips. The pool area in the resort is a nice place to relax and in general all the common areas are very inviting. The room was spacious and clean and the kitchen featured everything we needed. Location is great as well, close to the ferry and some supermarkets. The bus stop is right in front of the resort and makes it super easy to get around the island. Overall had a perfect stay and would come back here anytime! Thanks for having us

    Wi-Fi did not work in our room and only worked in communal areas such as by the pool. There were lots of ants in our room which I guess is what you get when staying on an island but unpleasant.

    The rooms were very spacious and comfortable. Staff were very friendly. Very quiet resort

    No curtain in bathroom. So it became very warm with the sun shining on the glass wall. And see through when the lights inside were on!

    Airconditioning struggled with the extremely hot and humid weather. This appeared to be because of the design of the units which had very high ceilings.

    Check in and out was easy. Staff member was friendly and welcoming. Units were in a quiet area within walking distance to the beach and built for privacy. A small kiosk and community centre with games, puzzles and books was available to guests.

    The location was in a quieter part of the island a long bus ride from Horseshoe bay, however there are still lots of restaurants and a grocery store nearby. Just be aware that most restaurants close by 8pm on the island so you may need to eat earlier while staying here.

    The resort was wonderful. Very nice pool and a Tennis court and games room for entertainment. The rooms are very nice complete with a small kitchen for cooking meals. Air conditioning worked great and the staff were very helpful. Would recommend as a place to stay while on Magnetic island.
