Review of Couran Cove Island Resort

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY

Why I've rated Ramada Couran Cove Island Resport 1/5:
- Room was very dirty, everything covered in dust, girlfriend suffers from allergies to dust.
- The only place to buy food was the Poolside Cafe which is basically a very expensive canteen. The restaurant was "closed for maintenance" and the cafe was open for about 4 hours during the 3 days we were there. We were not informed that there are kitchens in the rooms so we assumed there would be sufficient food available, which was not the case. We were forced to pay upwards of $20-$30 per meal, 3 times a day for very, very, very average food. The poolside cafe was not even open all day... There was set eating times and no where else to purchase food outside of these times. We were forced to pay upwards of $120 each day for food for 2 people. I wouldn't actually mind paying more than $20 per meal, if the food was in fact worth that price. The food is very poor quality and very expensive.
- The first time we left the apartment our key stopped working so we had to walk back to the reception to obtain a working key.

Highlights:
- Ferry was on time and prompt

All in all, we ended up leaving 2 days early so that we could get some decent and non-expensive food. We felt captive on this island... It was not an enjoyable experience.
