I stayed for a night at a 2 bedroom apartment and it was very clean & spacious. Definitely not a 5 star luxurious resort but a good 3 star resort (think of a much improved Kellerman's in Dirty Dancing). For something better, maybe you could consider the apartments right at the jetty, they looked a class higher & newer. Staff... More

We just came back from 4 days at Tangalooma 'Wild Dolphin' Resort. Over-priced, very average food. There are only 2 choices for lunch or dinner and they're both ordinary. For what they charge, the food available at the buffet is rubbish (and you have to get the buffet at dinner time - you can't order a la carte). The other... More

Tangalooma was an amazing place to stay to relax and to have fun. The staff were amazing and were so helpful especially when arranging a proposal on the island. The island is very clean,well looked after and the accommodation is very nice. A special thanks to Manav and his team! We will definitely be back again soon..

My husband and I decided to look for somewhere to go for a nice weekend away that wouldn't cost us a lot of money. We decided Tangaloma as it was close by and have heard a bit about it. Firstly we booked our accommodation 2 nights at $270.00 per night which is pretty average, then there was another 80.00 per... More

My husband and I returned today from a 2 night stay at Tangalooma Island Resort. The boat trip was great. Reception staff were lovely and very helpful and our room in Kookaburra Block was better than expected, so we immediately extended our stay from 1 night to 2 nights.

Mind blowing number of activities available, both complimentary and optional. If you've never hand fed a pod of wild dolphins under the stars, this is the place to do it.

We stayed only for a night at Tangalooma. The rooms were decent. The beach is beautiful. The service personnel was average as some (especially those tending the restaurant) were not entirely friendly. Since the boat arrived at the island resort only around 11am, much activities was missed. One can only try all activities (assuming you have already had your mind... More
