tired and nothing to do
just got back from new years at koala island. was booked for 5 days left after 2 days. nothing is open and nothing to do except sit around pool and drink. reef rooms are disgusting with mould, peeling plaster, no tv, rotten wood floor tin sheds.
was upgraded to ocean room on complaint,which was much nicer even came with towels and soap.
staff what there is were very nice and helpful.
food: limited cafe service open for 5 hours 10am-2pm. took 1hour to get a cheese burger. limited menu burgers, sandwiches not great quality
restaurant only open from 6-7pm with very very poor options. first night we had 2 types of pasta and 3 sauces. bad salad and small uneatable garlic bread. 2nd night we had small leather pieces of steak. instant gravy and the same poor salad (leftovers?)
the bar was o.k on new years eve about 70 people mostly drunk guys. few girls. in fact mostly guys there about 4 to 1 males to females. any females that make the mistake of wandering into pool area are set upon by about 20 guys.
no activities to do as everything is closed, except 9 hole golf course. the one professional part about this "resort".
location: the beach was just 2 meters of sand and then exposed rocks for about 30 meters at low tide.
no cruises or sailing left the island except the ferry service to the mainland via daydream island. the staff suggested i go to daydream island if i wanted other food or something to do.
i wish to warn everyone not to go to this place. we were lucky we escaped but many there were complaing they couldn't go else where they had already spent there money and no refunds. heard a few say it felt like a prison.
