Top Airlie Beach Hotel Reviews
Martinique Whitsunday
"We loved our stay at Martinique. Well appointed, comfortable apartments set back from the waterfront. Absolutely stunning views overlooking Airlie Beach and the surrounding islands from its elevated site. Amazing infinity pool with heated spa where you can relax and take in the stunning location. Very happy to recommend for your stay at Airlie Beach. Hope to visit again soon."
Pinnacles
"The Pinnacles has the most amazing view over Airlie Brach as it is located on top of a small hill. Itโs a 10 minutes walk into town but the walk back up the hill is not for the unfit. The infinity pool was stunning. Our apartment had a jacuzzi on the large balcony and a fully equipped kitchen. Management were really helpful and friendly. We would definitely stay here again."
Coral Sea Resort
"We loved Coral Sea Resort! The bar menu by the pool was really great and the hotel is very easy walking distance from the main town. The pool area can get quite busy because day pass guests can arrive from 10:30am so get your sun bed early."
The Sebel Whitsundays Airlie Beach
"Staff friendly upon arrival :) They were very happy to keep my luggage to the side when I arrived early until I was ready to check in. Rooms were very decently sized, and you get an awesome view from the balcony! Definitely would stay again"
Magnums Airlie Beach
"We had a lovely stay in the queen cabin โ it was nice and spacious! Being right next to the Wi-Fi area meant we could get online easily (though not all rooms have in-room access). The mattress wasnโt the best, but otherwise the room was comfortable. It was also generally quiet (although we stayed mid-week so it wasnโt very busy). The staff were lovely and friendly, and the kitchen had everything you need to make a quick lunch or dinner. Thereโs a Woolworths supermarket about 30 seconds walk from the kitchen too."
Heart Hotel and Gallery Whitsundays
"Great location and great staff!"
Colonial Palms Motor Inn
"We had an enjoyable stay at CPMI. Highlights would be the helpful and welcoming staff, access to the two (small-ish) lagoon pools and a great breakfast. The room was quite basic, had some marks on the walls and only one easily accessible plug socket. However it was very clean on arrival and it was great to have the facilities to make tea and coffee, and access to a fridge and microwave. It is at least a 10 min walk into town, but this meant that it wasnโt too loud, which was nice. Many your experiences offer a free pick up from the hotel too, which is handy"
at Water's Edge Resort
"Affordable and super convenient location. Good sized apartment with a fantastic view. Highly recommend for families looking to get away without breaking the bank and not wanting to share a tiny hotel room with the whole family! The kids loved the multiple pool options"
Club Wyndham Airlie Beach
"From check-in to departure and location it was all excellent"
