My husband and I absolutely loved this place. In the middle of a long trip around Australia to meet all his friends and family (I’m American) we stayed here as a break and chance to rejuvenate.

This was an amazing find on Expedia. Jodi, who manages the property, makes everyone feel like they’re the only guest. This is a true hidden gem, with a pub and top restaurant right down the path from the main hotel and the boat rooms. I highly recommend staying there! Oh, forgot to mention the absolutely amazing views - be sure to catch the sunrise!

Beautiful views and spacious studio. We liked the one-bedroom, which was the corner unit, so no one was walking by our balcony space. It felt more private and offered great views. The kitchenette was well-equipped and had a full-size fridge. Clean and comfy with great AC. Note: this property is on a hill, so there were stairs to reach our unit and stairs within the unit to reach the bedroom and bathroom. Not a problem for us, but worth considering if you have mobility issues. The unit...

The heart of reef shuttles are not good for endeavor location if you are over 50 as they don’t stop at your unit you have to bring your own bags up .

Everything is great (location, facilities, service, ...) but beware Internet access is NOT included (Hotels.com information is contradictory).
So, if you really need WiFi, first confirm you will have access.

We had a wonderful time staying at Airlie Beach hotel. The staff was super friendly and booked the reef snorkeling tours for us and offered discounts as well. It's right in the middle of the most happening part of the town, with excellent dining options and across from the beach.
I want to especially thank Ms.Sandy who accommodated our last min change in plans for an earlier checkout and she found a way to refund us the last day's charge even though it was very last minute. Would highly...

This is a nice place with great hosts providing good service and authentic smiles. It's a local business that gives you a certain feeling... it's something of the comfort and coziness you have when staying with friends.
On the practical side: the rooms are large, nice and include all necessary amenities. The place is located at a 10 minutes walk from the city, and 5 minutes walk from the Greyhound bus terminal./ Port of Airlie.

The palm bungalows were absolutely great. We had a 5 year old and a 1 year old with us. The hotel staff provided us with a complimentary stroller, high chair, baby bed and anything else we needed. When we put them to bed, we would just sit outside in our bungalow own hammock and watch the sun go down until the kids went to sleep. It was a fabulous vacation and I would recommend anyone to stay there, especially those with kids who need the “extras”.

Great little hideaway. It's in a busy holiday park, but the Villa Bali where we stayed was great. Note, it's a spiral staircase to the upper floor. If you have mobility issues, this might not be the best fit. We didn't want to lug our suitcases up there, so they stayed on the ground floor. Not the best for manuvering, but it worked. The staff was great and the park was quiet after 10pm. Convient to the Marina 20 minute walk. You have to cross a busy road to get to the water, buts doable....

The cabin that we stayed in was quaint, tidy, and very comfortable for a few nights stay. There are a lot of amenities throughout the park and individually designated parking spots. This place is also a bird watchers paradise as there several different species that frequent the park. Definitely our favorite place during our holiday in Australia.
