Daintree Eco Lodge & Spa Reviews -

"We had a fabulous time! The Daintree Eco Lodge was nice - the spa was beautiful... Thanks for your planning!" Cindi F., USA.
"...The rainforest and Daintree Eco Lodge were also a great time. The Eco-Lodge isn't for everyone. It is run on a much smaller scale, and while it is a quality experience it is not for those seeking real "luxury" or an upscale experience. I'd called it "funky" upscale. It is a very authentic rain forest experience, I believe more so than Silky Oaks (which we visited for dinner). Silky Oaks felt more like a resort, while Lizard felt like a hideaway or special place.
The spa at Daintree Eco Lodge is excellent. In fact that is my one criticism of Lizard Island....apparently keeping staff on island resorts (in certain functions, and not only at Lizard) is a challenge and as a result they often get more junior staff. I felt this to be true of the Lizard Island spa staff, and the quality of massage was not comparable to the overall standards of Lizard, or other resorts I've been to. I shared this on my feedback form there...
Thanks again for your help in plannng a great holiday. Best regards," J.M. Los Angeles, USA.
