"Great view. Minor issues with room. Toilet seat not fitted properly, hand basin very slow to drain (clogged), some rubbish not removed from under the bed (visible from first entry). Great location. "

"Resort showing its age. Broken lamp and deck chair with holes. Pool noce but too much debris floating in pool. Restaurant nice. "

"We had an absolutely brilliant stay. The staff were very helpful. the rooms clean and the bed was dreamy. And let's not forget, very affordable."

"Good location. Well maintained room"

"It's an outdoor resort on a secluded island with abundant wildlife. I would (and have) still absolutely recommend, but i think it's good to know going into it. It is not a brand new resort but it is not in bad repair and doesn't feel run down. Everything about the experience more than makes up for minor aesthetic drawbacks. I would also highly recommend looking into trip insurance!! Water was rough getting there, and several other tours with other places were canceled. Thankfully the ferry still ran - but because the ferry is separate i don't think there are any refunds for your room if you're not able to get to the island!! I got lucky, but DEFINITELY something I'm looking into for next time. "

"A beautiful heritage hotel retaining so much of the original rooms with tasteful additions to make a truly pleasant stay. "

"The Empire is in a great location. Walking distance to the CBD, the Pilbeam Theatre and a shopping mall containing Coles. The rooms are a great size and contain just about everything you need for either an overnight stay or a few days."

"Room had an amazing ocean view. I found the room a tad too small and the hill up from/down to the street a little steep. Nice pool."
