Top Hotels Near Palm Bay Beach in Whitsundays from NZ$112

"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."

"The island has everything you need for food and activities. We spent 3 full days there and feel that was enough, the snorkelling was a highlight for our kids and us. The food was expensive as expected on an island but delicious. The pool was quite cold and only 1 of the 3 days we were there the spa was warm which was disappointing "

"Great sea view Very friendly cockatoos"

"A great hotel with good sized rooms"

"Was a great holliday. May return in the near future. "

"Great views"

"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."

"Food was great could do with the ability to rent a small boat to see more around the island. Unfortunately for us had a super soft bed. A shame properties don’t tell you the types of beds they have. "

"Firstly if you just come here for the views then it would be worth it. Reading or relaxing by the pool with the most speciality views of the coast is unlike anywhere else, unspoiled by crowds or boats. As there’s only a maximum of 20 guests plus 4-5 staff the whole resort feels like a private getaway rather than a resort and often we were the only ones in the pool. The food was great for all the meals and we definitely didn’t go hungry. The morning and afternoon yoga is great and there is a hiking trail up to a lookout however we encountered lots spiders and biting insects so be wary (in the rooms and by the pool this wasn’t an issue). Overall this feels like a great way to relax, connect with the surrounding nature and admire the beauty of the area. "
