We nt for family holiday. Cabin was good on the lake. Lots of room. Pool was large and clean, and lots of seating around pool. Pool bar was open and food was good. We were given use of 2 bikes for week and most paths are paved with complex. Rode to beach and within resort. Also paddle board and kayak was good. Hire cheap at $10 per person per day, and covered both activities. Used one tennis court and was in good condition. Only one main restaurant open at night that we noticed, but good was good. Not huge shop, but we were able to buy eggs and bread. Overall good getaway, but would like to see them get rid of old equipment no longer in use.

We always enjoy our stay on this wonderful island, the general vibe is just so tranquil. Overall it was enjoyable.
Our drawbacks were sports center, VR room, minigolf, playground, among other things still being dilapidated.
We felt the $15 a day price tag on the bikes was far too steep considering the 5million sitting unused. I'd recommend pricing them on a scarcity scale.
The only other issue was fluctuations in water quality between clear and yellow.
We will note that the staff were incredibly accommodating and friendly. They even agreed to send some staff down to open the sunset bar for a couple of hours just for us.
We were informed that the island will be going under repairs in the coming months to revive a lot of the features. We will continue to visit and can't wait to see how it develops.

The resort is horrendous. I am not sure how it is still legal for this resort to be open and to charge people to stay here.
We were going to stay for 5 days but as soon as we arrived and looked around couldn’t imagine staying longer than one night.
It’s an abandoned ghost town, all the facilities are closed, chairs broken lying around in pieces, beach full of broken beer bottles and most of the buildings falling apart. There is nothing to do apart from hire a bike. Everything is destroyed.
Extremely depressing energy and locals complaining about the resort.
Please don’t waste your time and money. We are deeply disappointed. Not even the beautiful room made this worthwhile for us.
You should be ashamed to even advertise this as a beautiful getaway and charge innocent victims.

Whilst we were a little concerned about all the negative reviews, we are so glad we stuck with our booking at Couran Cove.
Yes the resort has a lot of work and the cleanliness of the lodge was pretty poor, however put that aside and embrace waking up to a waterfront sunrise, all of the activities you can do on the island, including the sunset drinks and the sunset bar and really embrace what the island does have to offer and I can guarantee your family will have a great time!!!
Staff were very friendly and helpful. Don’t forget to book for dinner at marlin bar and you will not be disappointed. Whilst it may take longer to get your coffees and meals please remember you are on island time and there is limited staff.
After 5 nights and 6 days we found it hard to leave, but we will be back that is for certain.

Nice place with lots to do. With limited staffing right now, food options are a bit limited but everything was tasty.
Our apartment was lovely and spacious with a nice balcony, and the pools were great.
Also, the staff are doing a great job - saw people working extra managing to do multiple jobs.
