"The room was a good size and very clean. The staff were extremely helpful and accommodating with an early check-in, and the coffee was great! The only downside was that the continental breakfast wasn’t available until 7am, and we had to leave before then. It would have been great to have the option of an earlier breakfast, or perhaps a pre-packed breakfast that could be taken to the room for guests leaving early. Overall, a very pleasant stay and we would be happy to stay again."

BIG4 Whitsunday Islands Holiday Park

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect for our one night get away with 2 kids."

Daydream Island Resort

8/10 Good

"Nice 4 night stay. Room was comfortable-no tv reception but a good on demand movie selection for relaxing in the evening. Food was good -pizzas and the Christmas is July buffet especially. Breakfast by the reef each morning was enjoyable. We saw lots of wildlife -whales, dolphins and even a sea turtle. There were lots of kids (school holidays)."

Airlie Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel in a good location. Spacious room with a very comfortable bed, large bathroom and a coffee machine. Nice balcony with lovely view of sea front. Very helpful reception team. This is a very noisy hotel, the music/noise from the hotels bar/restaurant is very loud, constant and inescapable. Other guests slamming their room door shook my whole room. Fair amount of road noise too. Enjoyed my stay despite noise."

Gorgeous three-bedroom, two-bathroom home boasting uninterrupted sea views.

10/10 Excellent

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Excellent hous ein a great location Views in every direction are amazing. Cockatoos on the balcony every morning & afternoon were super friendly.If you could add a set of stairs internally or at the rear under the balcony it would finish the place off perfectly.Thankyou!"

'Vue de Bleu' Luxury Whitsunday Retreat

8/10 Good

"he house was really nice, with a great pool, views, and surroundings. Our complaint was that we felt the house was not represented correctly. It worked out for us since we were all adults, but I’m not sure it would suit a family. It is listed as a four-bedroom house, but in fact, it is a two-bedroom house with a detached building that has a further two bedrooms and a bathroom included. There are 19 large outdoor steps down to these rooms, and unfortunately, it was raining most nights, so we got quite wet going to bed. These two downstairs bedrooms are actually one room separated by two steps up and no door, so they are not really two rooms and lack privacy. The back bedroom is quite pokey and claustrophobic. The standard of this downstairs space is not in keeping with the house itself.There was only one hairdryer provided for three bathrooms, the mugs and glasses didn’t match, and there could have been more crockery and cutlery provided. When paying this much for a property, this feels a bit cheap.There are also safety concerns if you had children with you, the porch around the pool is quite tall with no barrier and a drop straight onto concrete below. I don’t know if it is council compliant but it’s a long way to fall on concrete. Overall, while we appreciated the charm of the house and the stunning views, clearer communication about the property’s layout and improvements in safety and amenities would greatly enhance the experience for future guests."

Seascape on Shutehaven

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay at this property. The pool is large and perfect for a family, with a great BBQ and seating area. The view from the upstairs windows is stunning and it would be great if the overgrown plants were cut back so you could have this view from the pool.The kitchen is large and has everything you need. There were just a few little things that could be improved, like a wardrobe or chest of drawers for clothes in the upstairs bedroom and the shower screens and windows haven’t been cleaned in a while. Overall, we had a good time away and will definitely visit Airlie Beach again."
