The room was very poor. Aircon did not work and there was no natural ventilation. Bad smell. Bathroom was very poor. Everything was broken or not far off. The downstairs bar was fun and had a good atmosphere but the room itself was only marginally better than a nice hostel.

The Rooms at the Island are fantastic - spacious and funky! Perfect for 2 adults and our 2 Teenagers. The facilities here are good but they cater to a young crowd. We were unable to get a seat by the pool all afternoon due to Schoolie guests.
