Lord Howe Island is an escape away from the world, I adore the island, but when i am paying as much as Pinetrees costs I don't expect to have a showerhead that is green, covered in lime or whatever it was. To have the staff appear totally disinterested and forget my drink, food or mix up orders again and again and appear disheveled and hungover.
Yes, the food was exceptional. The dessert buffet was amazing and we had seconds.
But it was disappointing and when we return we'll go elsewhere for the same experience.
The picnic baskets a great idea.
Maybe we went on an off week.
We did meet Jim, he was a nice guy, friendly.
And one of the chefs helped us out with island hints.
But for the price there are many other islands i could visit and pay to get upgraded to somewhere nice with exceptional service.
