Fraser Island is a fantastic destination to visit, highly recommended. The rangers who are part of organized tours are passionate and kmowledgeable, full credit to them and are making a difference. Kingfisher Bay resort itself is attempting to blend several objectivea as a family destination, eco lodge/enviro oriented (Fraser island is a listed as world heritage by Unesco) and as part of the Acoor hotel group it is also expected to be commercially viable. As a result it achieves none of it. The resort was built in the early 90s and shows its age. Outside of an initial effort to design it within a range of man made ecosystems, it shows little in the "environmentally friendly" space and i didnt see any evidence towards strong sustainability procedures. The staff is friendly but kept to a minimum through heavy rosters.It is no wonder why Australians consider destinations in south east asia as a preference first, The price tag is fairly heavy considering the overall quality om display (amenities/food/service) when compared to other options in the APAC zone. Food is really average at best except for degustation menu at the main restarant.
