Daydream Island Resort
8/10 Good
"Great location and family resort"
Gorgeous three-bedroom, two-bathroom home boasting uninterrupted sea views.
8/10 Good
"The views are amazing!! Note this house is two entirely separate units that are ONLY connected by the external staircase at the front of the house. You cannot get to the pool from the second level without going down the stairs at the front entry. The laundry is only in the lower level unit so you must carry your laundry out the front and down the stairs. The views still made this worthwhile, but we didn’t realize the extend of the separation until we arrived."
Discovery Parks - Airlie Beach
8/10 Good
"We really loved staying here. Great facilities like the waterpark, pool, and jumping pillow. They also had little karts and e-bikes you could hire for an additional fee. The playground was a bit old and run down. Rooms were tidy and beds were super comfortable but some of the furniture like the chairs in the kitchen were a bit old and dirty. Otherwise well maintained and clean. Staff were always friendly and helpful. You can take a public bus for 50c just outside the hotel in both directions so can easily get into town, the port of airlie or shute harbour, or further out to Cannonvale. Maps and timetables available. Also the Northerlies Beach Bar and Grill will do free shuttles out to their beautiful venue. Some tours will also provide free shuttles to the marina for their activities. Others charge a fee. Overall a great stay. We stayed in a superior 1 bedroom cabin which was spacious for us and actually has a sliding door separating the main living room from it, and another separating it from the main bedroom with queen bed. Toilet/bathroom comes off the small area with the bunk as well."
'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."
Coral Point Lodge
8/10 Good
"Great views"
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."
