We spent a night at the Albatross Bay Resort, an interesting complex in Weipa which does have limited venues to stay and eat. It is a busy large hotel and the local watering hole for the town. We had some issues with air conditioner in our room which was sorted after a while. The bed was comfortable and we had a good sleep, our bathroom was a good size and the shower very good. There is a nice grassed area linking the accommodation area to the dining and bar areas which were quite busy. Unfortunately the dining was not up to speed with some dishes being missed for our group. The breakfast the next morning was a disaster with the dining room running out of juices, fruit, even hot water and some other basic items so our group set out with empty stomachs - not good enough for a major hotel who is supposed to cater for tour groups. 


Average hotel but limited choices.

Extremely disappointing.  We were on a booked tour and stayed at many places on our way to Cape York.  The Albatross was by far the worst place. The rooms were damp and mouldy and the meals largely inedible.  The place needs major refurbishment. The almost completely foreign staff were helpful but could not make up for the tired grimy conditions.

A place to  avoid, if possible.

On one level, the Albatross Bay is a perfectly acceptable remote-area motel. Our room was spacious and clean (including the bathroom). Wifi and a/c worked well. There were signs though that all wasn't hunky-dory. Three beds in the room but only 2 mugs, 1 wine glass, 1 bowl, 1 fork, 1 spoon, 1 teaspoon and 2 knives. And none were matching - all came from different cutlery sets! There was also a small microwave, a toaster and a tea-towel. 
But this place calls itself a 'resort', and that's when it really fails the test. There is no pool and while our room was functional it was completely characterless. No attempt to brighten it up, no resort-style pictures on the walls. 
Outside of the room, things started OK. The deck and beer garden are great spaces and offer sublime sunset views through the trees. And the beautiful Blue-winged Kookaburras added to the atmosphere. 
But come meal times, things really hit the wall. Dinner was something of a shemozzle, but at least everyone got what they ordered.  I also understand they had 2 or maybe 3 tour groups to deal with and they were understaffed, but it was not good. Our barramundi was dry and tasteless and steaks not cooked well. But that was heaven compared with breakfast the next morning, when for starters they ran out of bowls and the only available cereal was Corn Flakes. There was toast ... and bowls of peanuts. The problems were attributed to the barge from Cairns not arriving on time - though too many tour groups and not enough staff could also have been issues. 
I should add we were here with one of those tour groups.

As a 'resort', it fails the test

This place needs money spent on it to bring it back to something like being a ”resort”. 
Though initially looking promising it is actually a bit run down and dirty. The donga accommodation is old and dirty and the staff lackadaisical - couldn’t care less.
The food was passable.

Poor accommodation

1
It’s not the fact that this place is old, the room is comfortable but broken.
I don’t usually complain, but, air conditioner remote broken, contacted reception told will fix, nothing. Called back at 9pm … still nothing…
Was next day received a remote that worked.
2 lights not working told at the same time, still not fixed.
No toilet paper, soaps or towels next day on room clean 🤦🏻‍♂️
Called at 8pm & they sent some to room.
Care factor to us is zero.
Very disappointed.
Restaurant breakfast included is very basic.
But eating in the Tavern is excellent. Great chefs great food.
Not worth the money to stay here but would try other places

Pick other accommodation in Weipa.not here.

Superb location overlooking the bay. Comfortable room despite the lack of anything on the walls. Great shower. Nice continental breakfast. Generally friendly staff.who were very generous once an oversight in our booking was recognised.

Great location

Room appeared clean and tidy, despite a bad smell -  but on closer examination it was not. Dirty pillows, somebody’s clothes hanging in the wardrobe, a giant cane toad in the toilet. Front counter staff the next day were  very apologetic and displayed awesome service; but experience was enough to avoid in future.

Great customer service

The rooms were very nice, the bathrooms were a bit dated and the beds weren't comfortable. The meal we had at the hotel restaurant was just delicious with scallops in the original shells. We went for a drive around and shopped at the local shopping center which was reasonably large.

Great food and fabulous staff

A large hotel with a Sports Bar,  outdoor dining and a Top quality restaurant. We had lunch one day on the terrace which was typical good pub food. However, we went to the restaurant one evening and were blown away with the quality of our meals. Definitely comparable to city dining!! Well done to your chef. It’s a shame you are so far away because it would be great revisit you. Definitely recommend.

Top Restaurant

Went for dinner at 630, beat the rush, very friendly staff, lovely meal, barramundi, good prices, outdoor experience was good. Could not fault anything.went to Bowls Club last night this was far superior.
