Great rooms etc, but very bad for food choices and way overpriced for food. Breakfast choice is only a buffet at 42$ per head and the spread seems to be slightly stale bread, cold perhaps one day to 2 day old pastries etc. Definitely will avoid breakfast there for sure.
Very busy with tourists from 9am to 4pm, but even then you can find quiet areas of beach around the back of the island.
Outside those hours it's a quiet, secluded paradise.
All the staff are fantastic and go beyond to make you feel welcomed and comfortable, food is good quality and reasonably priced. Plenty of things to do and snorkelling on the beach is fantastic, saw many tropical fish and turtles.
The crocodile sanctuary and feeding show is a must, and each day is capped off with complimentary drinks on the beach while the sun sets.
There is a fragrance of guano, but you get used to it. Overall, a highly recommended stay.

Disliked: Amenities
The island was very pleasant, especially after the day visitors left.
This was a dream come true stay for the one day we stayed. (We were evacuated our second day due to cyclone). The staff went above and beyond. The room was great. You get a lot of extra amenities included like the transfer to and from the island, snorkeling and the glass bottom boat tour. The best part was after 430 the day tourists left and we had the whole island to ourselves with only 29 guests staying over night. Overall it was the best day of vacation I ever had.
We had an amazing 3 nights and couldn’t be happier with our time and beautiful new memories we have made as a family.
Biggest stand out is the staff - nothing was too much trouble. Restaurant staff were amazing, happy to improvise our breakfast requests and make us feel welcomed.
Swimming with the turtles was breathtaking & will remain a memorable experience for all of us.
I’d like to add - before our arrival we had read so many reviews & some of them negative towards the day trippers, so we weren’t quite sure what to expect - but aside from it being busy around the cafe, bar and other eating areas, overall it really wasn’t that bad. By 4pm when the last lot of day trippers had left, you had the whole island to guests only. It really was something special and I highly recommend a stay if you are thinking about it.
Swimming with sharks and turtles as beyond imagination

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
first of all, the staff have been very accommodating and helpful. however i noticed the rooms are outdated with rusts and the pool noticeably unclean. the beach though is amazing, the glass bottom boat tour is highly recommended.
Loved the rainforest vibe of the island! Amazing greenery combined with outstanding beaches and swimming. Going snorkeling with turtles and sharks is incredible!
Skeleton crew at the “hotel “ and terrible service at the “ restaurant “. Was told I wasn’t allowed to eat at the restaurant unless I order a 50 dollar burger. “ the kitchen is very busy “
Overall great stay. Menu options could be improved to match the captive audience pricing! Not a deal breaker but step up the game a little. Would certainly return!
Green Island is a beautiful and peaceful resort set in a tasteful natural habitat. Lots and lots of things to do on such a small island and an excellent location to explore the reef.
We loved our stay in the beautiful apartment and felt quite secluded. Perfect for couples 😍
Amazing location and so much to do. Would be helpful for a chest sheet for the tips and tricks to get the best info. Also breakfast want included in our rate and no alternatives
Unlike any accommodation we have stayed at. Right on the island made it a very unique experience. Pricy? Yes but worth it if you need a well earned break.
Our 5th or 6th stay. The resort is clean, quiet and peaceful! The team did everything they could to make sure we had a lovely 10 day stay. Many thanks for making it special for us.
The resort is small and has a feel of luxury. The room was large and the woodwork in the room was gorgeous. The bathroom was well appointed and the veranda backed on to rainforest. The room felt very private and you are not overlooked by other guests. The pool area was very relaxing and the staff were very friendly. It felt like a private island after the day guests left at 4.30. Highly recommended, you would not be disappointed.
One of my favourite places to visit - the scenery is stunning - you literally can’t take a bad photo. Daily snorkelling and walks along the beach or through the rainforest. The staff are delightful and don’t miss daily fish feeding followed by sunset drinks after the day trippers leave. Already planning my next stay!
