Kingfisher Bay Resort is in a fantastic spot, nestled in the trees overlooking Great Sandy Strait. It forms part of its local environment nicely.

It has all the usual facilities, and is very family friendly (e.g.: a pool; scheduled activities; recreation areas for the kids and plenty for Mum and Dad to do, too).

Staff are attentive and helpful, and are very welcoming.

The villa we stayed in (privately owned) was a little 'tired', and would have benefited from a refurbishment (particularly the bathroom and kitchen).

The central areas, too, while clean, were tired and suffering from some basic janitorial shortcomings (mainly due to the very high ceilings - cobwebs and bird droppings up very high - which, while not present at ground level, still gave an impression that there were some simple things that could be improved upon).

Dinner service was lovely (Seabelle), if over-efficient (Maheno). Service at the bars was prompt and the Jetty Hut for sunset was a standout.

Overall, a lovely couple of days, and a great base to explore the island (including a fun trip across the island each day, to reach the ocean-side and the better-known highlights).
