Our stay at Orpheus Island was magical, filled with enjoyable activities for everyone, including our teenagers who loved the water sports and the exceptional dining experiences. While the service was outstanding, the dining could use some improvement, and the outdoor areas could be more weatherproofed. Overall, it's a beautiful destination that's great for families but has some flaws that need attention.
