The following island works have been confirmed to address maintenance requirements and product refurbishment.
- Reef View Hotel External Painting Works, 1 May to 20 May 2023 and 29 May to 1 December 2023 – External painting works will take place on the western side of the Reef View Hotel. There is likely to be rope drops running from the top of the Reef View Hotel and intermittent noise from Monday to Friday between 9.00am and 5.00pm.
- Palm Bungalow works, 23 May 2023 to 18 December 2023 - To ensure the continued upkeep of the island, upgrade works have been scheduled from 23 May 2023 to 18 December 2023. Some of these maintenance activities are in proximity to the Palm Bungalows and as a result there may be some noise on weekdays from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and occasionally on Saturdays. The works have been thoughtfully planned and scheduled to minimize any inconvenience to our valued guests and rooms have been allocated to ensure as little disruption as possible.
- Beach Club Restaurant Closure: Maintenance work is scheduled at the Beach Club Restaurant from 4 December - 10 December. During this period, the Beach Club restaurant will be closed for all services. Sails, located only a short walk from Beach Club, will offer daily breakfast. There may be minimal intermittent noise between 10.00am and 4.00pm daily, and the presence of some scaffolding around the restaurant area. All other Beach Club facilities and services, including the Beach Club pool and the Beach Club Bar will operate as normal. In recognition of this, we will apply a $100 Resort Credit for each night that the guest’s stay falls within the affected date range. Please view alternative dining options here.
