Hi Carol57

If you decide against AI and go for the alternative of B&B, you need to be near to Namma Bay as that is where all the restaurants (Hard Rock, Camel Bar etc) bars and shops are. The Crowne Plaza is a nice hotel, rooms are good and the reef is great, and it has all the usual 5* facilities of Health Club, tennis courts, 4 or 5 pools, selection of eateries and bars. It's about 5 or 10 mins in a cab from Namma and it has its own taxis. Most of the AI's are quite a long way from Namma Bay.

Happy holiday hunting.
PS if you are interested in the Coral Sea it has it's own thread with loads of info you can read.
