Review of Couran Cove Island Resort

Don't go to Couran Cove

Don't go to Couran Cove

The resort doesn't do the simple sum of working out how many people are checking out each day and how many people they can take home on the ferry. We simply were unable to get off the island. There were about 20 people in the same situation. The resort was of no help and simply hands out business cards for a private water taxi service and leaves it to people to organise it for themselves. Cost for the water taxi is $90 one way but the resort doesn't pay any of it or give a refund for the ferry which you have to pay for when going to the island even if you cant fit on going home. The water taxi also doesn't take you back to where your car is parked so you have to get an uber from Sanctuary Cove back to Hope Island. Totally unacceptable.

Also, price for staying at resort is plus, plus, plus. Room cost doesn't include ferry to the island which is half the cost of the room, doesn't include parking at the ferry, doesn't include bikes which you need to get around the place. None of this is evident when booking the room. Your money is best spent adding up all the additional costs and staying somewhere much nicer on the mainland.
