“Staff exceed expectations. Dolphin experience fantastic.”

Reviewed 17 May 2013 NEW

We recently visited Tangalooma with our 8 year old daughter who is gluten intolerant. Travelling can be a challenge, and she often feels like she is missing out. On our first day, I received a call from the Operations Manager to talk through her dietary options, which was very much appreciated. Nothing was too much trouble, and the teams willingness... More

“Great location, dilapidated accommodation, overpriced!”

Reviewed 14 May 2013 NEW via mobile

Half way through my stay and not impressed so far. First impressions were good, grounds are neat and tidy but some drainage issues meant having to walk through puddles to get to room. Location is great, staff are friendly and rooms are spacious, that's where the positives end. The room were staying in (d block) is old and in need... More

“Such a shame”

Reviewed 12 May 2013 NEW

I recently returned from one weeks holiday at Tangalooma resort. I had been there before but it was terrible weather conditions so I decided to go back and get the 'proper' experience. I was massively disapointed. The staff were ALL so rude and arrogant. From the moment we stepped off the boat to the moment we got on the boat... More

“Condescending and unhelpful front desk, terrible cafe food, confusing signages but good location.”

Reviewed 11 May 2013

Front desk officer, Rizwana, muttered a rude comment when she saw our luggages before greeting us with the standard smile. She was not helpful at all when I asked if we could use their buggy for our friends stranded halfway to the reception. Signages on the resort were useless. Extra bath towels were $5 each. Room for 4pax was spacious,... More

“A relaxing few days away, but a bit shabby and pricey”

To start with, we had a nice couple of days away with our 3-year-old daughter. The resort is only 1 hour from Brisbane by boat, but feels like a world away when you're there. Have been to Tangalooma 15 years ago, and in the intervening period, they seem to have lost their way as a resort. This time, there was... More
