Green Island Hotels with Wi-Fi

Mixed feelings about this place. There is a special vibe of being on a tiny island with a rainforest on the edge of the Great Barrier Reef but it's quickly replaced by the impression that it is severely mismanaged. The entire shoreline of the island is littered with plastic debris, mostly washed up. No one is cleaning it. As an ”eco resort” this is a huge red flag. Another red flag is the excessively cold air-con than runs 24/7, even in empty rooms. This apparently stops mold growing - there must be better ways to prevent mold. Leaf blowers start at 6am - not what you want to hear on a remote island holiday. The food is awful and extremely expensive, and with only one restaurant option at night, you have little to choose from. Nothing is fresh. All food is frozen. Each fortnight they get one food delivery on a barge which is frozen to last 2 weeks - meaning they run low on supplies. 3 to 4 boatloads of tourists arrive each day - fresh food could be delivered to the island on these boats but it's not. Instead, it's an oversupply of pushy and rude tourists. Another red flag is the animal cruelty aspect - dark pools in the middle of the island house crocodiles that have been there since the 70's. It's very sad and I'm sure animal lovers would be appalled. The rooms are nice but you can hear your neighbours conversations and mobile phones very clearly. The staff seem a bit miserable - lots of them are just fulfilling their visa requirements and it shows. Quicksilver Group own the boats, the island and the reef tours. The island and reef seem heavily exploited and run-down. They needs to scale back the number of visitors and elevate the island experience to match the exorbitant prices.
