Peppers Blue on Blue Resort Magnetic Island

Superb accomodations. Brilliant harbour views, huge balcony. Sparkling clean and beautifully prepared. Amazing buffet breakfast, served hot! Huge shout out to Reception Host Sylvan. A warm welcome, very informed, approachable and professional. A credit to Peppers Blue!

Well located, easy holiday. We stayed in a superior suite which was a good size for us. Breakfast was good. Things that could be improved - heated pools. Would also be nice to have a complete kitchen set in the suite - we had no tongs, our friends only had 2 bowls for a family of 6

Large sized hotel room with plenty of space, separate bathroom. (The room was not cluttered) Located about 30m from ferry terminal. The buffet breakfast is well worth the price of included with the room. Only negative is that you have to pay for barista style coffee.

Wow! We loved this place and didn’t want to leave! Beautiful room with balcony overlooking the bay . The room had lots of extras including fridge,microwave,coffee machine,lounge area. Fabulous pools and welcoming staff at reception and in the bar. Pleasant breakfast and great location. We hope to return to Australia in 2 years time and we plan to return here for longer! Definitely worth the upgrade ( for a small fee) to overlook the bay. We had a lovely time! A really memorable stay! We can’t wait to return! Thank you!

Peppers is in an unbeatable location—just a short walk from the ferry terminal, bus stops, a couple of cafés, and a food store. Transport around the island is easy thanks to frequent ferries and reliable buses. The resort grounds are well kept, with two very nice pools and lush gardens. The restaurant space is bright and airy, and rooms with marina views feel very private and peaceful. For the location and amenities, the price was quite reasonable.||However, there are a few let-downs. Our "superior" room was looking tired, with frayed carpets and a generally shabby feel—not like the promotional photos. Despite daily cleaning being advertised, our room wasn’t serviced. Breakfast was basic but plentiful—just make sure you get there early, as the bain maries don’t keep food hot for long. Pro tip: order your eggs as soon as you arrive, as they can take a while!||Accessibility could be an issue for some, with lots of stairs and only one elevator servicing a single level. Pool furniture was grimy and in serious need of a clean. We also couldn’t enjoy the balcony due to an enormous air conditioning extractor blasting hot, dirty air. And a quirky bar note—watch your drinks, as they serve digestives as spritzers!||All in all, Peppers Magnetic Island has a lot going for it in terms of location and setting, but it could really shine with some attention to detail and a bit of TLC.

Overall lovely experience. Breakfast was ok. Buffet style breakfast. Wouldn’t pay extra. Room was great, clean and well maintained. Pool was great and there were two. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Location is excellent. Would come back.

Fantastic hotel in a great location. The room was clean and extremely comfortable. The bathroom was fantastic and I loved my stay here. I would say this was one of my favourite places to stay in Australia!

I don’t understand the good rating of the hotel or why it is advertised as a 4 star hotel. The staff was friendly but not very helpful or competent. The receptionist for example told us that the restaurant was closed and we couldn’t eat there, when her college corrected her and said that it was in fact open. When being asked about a name tag for our luggage, she told us that they don’t have any, just to be reminded by her college that they in fact offered them. Those are just some examples on the lack of knowledge and service. The biggest turndown was the lack of cleanliness as well as lack of food quality. The rooms were very worn down and the sheets had stains on them. Moreover, the food at dinner as well as breakfast was terrible. Some of the worst food I ever tasted. The dinner was Italian themed but I think the chef never tasted good Italian food. The garlic bred was definetly defrosted and not self made for example. The breakfast buffet was very messy and not appealing at all. We definitely won’t be returning and can’t recommend this hotel.

Pros: - right next to ferry drop off and grocery/convenience store/bus stop - trail to geoffray bay nearby - great pool, not too cold and pretty big - room had nice shower head - free movies available with new releases Cons: - restaurant requires reservations in advance, can still order room service - staff helpful but not the most friendly - room could improve based on expenses paid - door before your room door is super annoying to get through with luggage, even without the doors are difficult to open in general - ac not strong enough to keep room cool - wifi is very weak, can't stay connected very long and has intermittent signal - breakfast food was terrible (warm food) stick to the cold. It is a buffet. - checkout is 10a and not the normal 11a, $20 charge per late hr

went from being really accommodating to being extremely rude and disrespectful, making smart remarks while making our drinks. last time I checked when you've got 20 paying customers willing to spend a lot of money you go above and beyond. at least that's what I used to do... to the extremely rude lady behind the bar with the weird pony tail and the look like she hated life, you've rude comments just lost your employer a lot of money. cheers hun x

Went from amazing to trash and didn't stop in between. Gave the place a few chances. From the horrible menu to the disappointing food all the way to my 35 minute wait for a coffee. I'm always wary of a place that does buffet anything and I was right. Avoid at all costs!
