Great Barrier Reef, Australia - New Zealand and the South Pacific hotel rooms at the Independent

"Just the taps in bathroom needs new washers."

"Perfect. Would chose this hotel again."

"The room was clean and well maintained. Excellent staff service. Free parking was available close to the hotel. The hotel is located close to an area containing many restaurants."

"I stayed in the Village view King room which had a balcony that overlooks the pool. I was really pleased with the room and the service. The fridge had a full water jug and a mini milk carton which came in handy. The shower has a retractable line on which you can hang wet swimwear and clothes. Would definitely stay here again!"

"We had a wonderful stay. The bed and pillows were very comfortable! And excellent service from the staff if I needed something. Great location — so close to the esplanade lagoon and marina. I highly recommend this hotel. There are 2 pools in the property and a sauna too!"

"Thank you . I enjoy my stay. "

"Room was very good"

"We had a lovely stay, rooms very clean, new and modern. Pools are fantastic and given the size of the resort privacy is not an issue if you are looking for a quiet spot on the lagoon/pool. Dining is a little expensive but there are other options in town. Private access to four mile beach. Aircon facilities and fans in rooms are great although we did get a little cold at night with the aircon not able to be switched off unless windows are open. Highly recommend and will definitely be back. "

"Fantastic location along the warf/water front. Super Friendly staff. Neat and tidy hotel. Super Nice rooms, although a bit small. Wonderful views. Overall fantastic hotel. Only negative is food and beverage service stops early at the hotel restaurant but there are tons of other locations close by that offer food. Would definitely stay here again."
