    Traveling as a Solo Traveler
    Very good
    Nice bar area and good live music. Unfortunately timing was Mad Monday (All sept/Oct?), so was 95% footy groups which was what it was.. Make sure you're tolerant to a bit of wildness or not approaching 40. King bed was super comfy (though actually two singles attached). The staff on the tour/booking desk were great. Do a booking with Divers Den if you want proper diving or snorkeling. (Fitzroy or green island more just a casual day trip to a beach at the unimpressive inner reefs)
