It brings the price, with return air and taxes and all airport/hotel transfers, down to as low as $1169pp twin-share from Melbourne, $1179 from Brisbane and from $1199 pp twin-share from Sydney for stays between May 5 and September 15 this year, with some select dates excluded and some seasonal surcharges applicable.

For an optional $140pp, Coral Seas will upgrade guests to a Beachfront Room, and as well as including Tropical Breakfasts daily, will also give them a NZ$100 Food & Beverage credit per room.
