Beautiful spot to relax and unwind
A beautiful, relaxing 3 day break. The perfect spot to unwind and not do much. The bistro meals were delicious and I highly recommend Kahuna massage whilst on the island. Such a beautiful, relaxing experience

Great keppel is an amazing place. Wonderful property close to the beach. Simple and pretty clean. Limited facilities in smaller rooms but enough to enjoy. Lots of activity options such as diving, paddle boarding and snorkelling. Be great to have a few more food options or a small grocery store

I like there's no free wifi. This way the quietness can be kept.
The island is beautiful but I guess the cabins might need some maintenance. I got a drain smell that got fixed but those are the things that need to be checked prior a guest stay. The food is really good. However, I had a bad luck with my Barramundi last night as It was over cooked. It looks like the fish was not cooked properly. The tours are amazing. I did the snorkelling tour and they took us ylto a special location. I will come back again regardless the faults as the staff is amazing and the island is a treasure.

The rooms could be upgraded. The smell in the rooms are unbearable. I know it is marine sewage but have stayed in placed where you couldn’t even smell it.
