Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The pictures of the hotel/room are outdated. We had a penthouse 3 bed room and this was in desperate need of an enhanced upgrade and clean. The carpet up the stairs was dirty and worn, the blinds in the first floor double bedroom were broken and mouldy, there were no blinds in the downstairs bathroom and this meant the shower was in view of outside, the electric sockets at the side of the bed on the ground floor did not work, there was no hot water in the kitchen, kitchen hob was faulty and needed turning on and off to make it work, the corridors outside of our room was not cleaned for 3 days and was very dirty The view was amazing, room a good size, washer and dryer in room

We had a lovely stay at The Sebel Airlie Beach. The apartment was clean, spacious, and had a beautiful ocean view. The girls at check-in were so friendly and welcoming, which made a great first impression. Be prepared for a bit of a hill when getting suitcases up and down, but it’s not a huge issue — and the location is great, only about a 10-minute walk to town. There aren’t too many food options immediately nearby, but town and the marina (perfect for day trips) are both very close. Some areas, like the hallway to the room and parts of the bathroom, felt a little outdated, and it wasn’t the cleanest entrance outside the room, but overall it’s hard to fault much, especially for the price. A great value stay with lovely staff and a beautiful view!

The one bed apartment was excellent, lovely balcony and lovely view. Shower was a bit tricky up a couple of steps into jacuzzi bath. Would have been nice to have been nice to have some food/drink amenities on site, but Airlie beach was only 10-15 min walk away. The only issue is the extremely steep driveway up to reception. Bit of a hard slog dragging a 23kg case up! Some taxis would drive up the slope, so not an issue when coming back from having a meal .

We had a great stay and the apartment we had ( which had an amazingly sea view) was perfect for our needs. We had a small issue with our balcony and the problem was fixed within an hour which shows fabulous service from the staff. The reception staff were very friendly and always willing to help. The pool area and gym was also excellent.
