“Family friendly, couples catered for”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012

We stayed for one night on the island rather than doing a day trip. Took the car ferry and were thankful we had our own vehicle and could travel around to less visited places. The Radical Bay road is an interesting drive be very careful it has large holes in the surface so caution is required, the speed limit of 40 Kms is somewhat over stated around 20 is safe.

The resort was good with plenty to do especially for families with children, pool, tennis courts, games room with table tennis, snooker table, table soccer, many board games and even a dolls house and other toys for younger children. They also run a craft corner for children for a few hours in the middle of the day, at a reasonable cost. The laundry facilities were good. If you want to cook outside the free BBQs are a plus, even the cooking oil and utensils are supplied and very clean. The Stone Curlews (birds) were an interesting part of the local wildlife as they moved around the resort freely. The staff are relaxed and friendly offering assistance on bus times, things to see etc. Good value for money.

Room Tip: If you want peace go for the rooms away from the pool area. With children try for one near the pool...

“Good access to markets”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 December 2011

person found this review helpful

Stayed for one night. Facilities were decent but the bathroom shower didn't have a stall to it. Found it very strange to shower in an open area only separated from the toilet by a half wall. The pool was really nice but I couldn't find the spa that I thought was also on site. For what I paid, I can't complain too much.

The resort is located 2 minutes away from the beach, however it seemed like it was the unpopular part of the beach since no one else was there. About 5 minutes away from the supermarket, bottle shop, and a couple of markets. However it seems like most of the places you'll want to check out on the island are a bit of a drive away.

Service was friendly enough.

“Quiet Location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 October 2011

Having never been to Magnetic Island, was not sure what to expect. Arrived via ferry, jumped on a bus at the ferry terminal telling the driver we were staying at Island Leisure Resort. No problem at all, were actually dropped off across the road. Very relaxed, quiet ( except for the birds) location. Easy access for walking to shops, bottleshop, cafes and restaurants. Bure's were spacious, clean, basic old decor but ideal for a small family ( we're so used to accommodation in south east asia and a bit picky) Pool area was undergoing some replanting so was a bit sparse, some of the palms looked shabby and the grass was dead which was a surprise for the so called tropical north. Overall was ok stay nothing flash.

Room Tip: all bures are the same and are close together. Ask for one at the back of the resort if you want pri...

“Old style rooms need updating”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 July 2011

The position of the resort was good near beach, lovely pool area however it was needing a fill and unclean, games romm needs upgrade too. i think it has new ownwers now so this might all of been done. Tennis courts great and clean. Big bathroom but the windows were semi see thru kids and i went out and checked and yep if u wanted to u could look in put a towel upon window. table outside rooms, big birds walk around makes a screching noise, this didn;t bother us kids thought it funny, however what I did not like was Geko's in the room running near bed over roof near kids bunks, up all night with screams as they also make noises!

Room Tip: No Tips........... ask for no Gecko's in your room
