Whitsundays Hotel Deals
"Wonderful hotel in a perfect position to explore Airlie beach. Easy walk into the town and across to the marina for tours. Friendly staff and lovely pool area. Highly recommend"
"First hotel I’ve stayed in that does not make your bed or change the towels top up toilet roll etc at all unless you go to ask at reception. For me this is a basic requirement of a hotel. The room felt damp for the entire stay. Noisey from wildlife through the night as bathroom window is mesh. Would I stay again- NOT A CHANCE"
"Room was spacious but dated - cracked tiles and dirty grout, curtains held on curtain rail with cellotape. Staff were great, really helpful and attentive. Pools were well maintained, really nice feature. Breakfast was a welcome surprise. Really nice. Would stay again because overall very good value for money just needs a little maintenance."
"Great staff great bathroom size and bed was hugh"
