Mirage Whitsundays

10/10 Excellent

"We had the most amazing stay at Mirage Whitsundays! Our room was absolutely beautiful and honestly even better than the pictures. The views were incredible, and waking up to them every morning was just breathtaking. The apartment was spacious, beautifully presented and had everything we could have asked for. We absolutely loved our stay and would 100% recommend Mirage Whitsundays. We can’t wait to come back! 🤍🌴✨"

"This property has an amazing view overlooking the ocean. We loved sitting on the patio eating our meals and watching the boats come and go. The property itself is well kept and the pool is pristine! The view from the infinity pool is so amazing. The only negative was that our unit itself is a bit worn. Needs some freshening up esp with the dishes, cutlery, pots and pans. These were old and worn and some dishes had permanent stains on them. The washer and dryer were very handy after a day out snorkeling. The location is on a hill but we thought this was good cardio for us as we go up and down. Grocery market is just down the hill and the main street is also just a few min walk so the location is ideal. There is also a little gym although the lock to the door needs to be fixed as we spent a good few minutes trying to open the door each day. Definitely worth a visit back."

Daydream Island Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The island is so cute and peaceful. The resort is perfectly situated at the ferry dock and you can stay inside the resort until the ferry pulls in which is nice if it's raining. The resort is perfect for a short visit, the food was good and the amenities were perfect for a relaxing break. The free use of snorkeling gear is a nice touch as you can see their newly grown reef right from the beach. The wallaroos are so cute wandering around and you can feed them. I believe most ferries stop at daydream and go to Airlie or Hamilton and on to Whitsunday island so it is very convenient to get on and off the island. Overall would recommend the resort for a nice get away."

Palm Bay Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Palm Bay was a beautiful location to spend our honeymoon. Staff were very friendly, so many national park trails to walk, plenty of places to snorkel and high quality food from the restaurant. We loved going out on the supplied paddle boards to check out coral or watch the sunset. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a nice place to relax and be in nature!"

Colonial Palms Motor Inn

8/10 Good

"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 wasn’t too loud, which was nice. Many your experiences offer a free pick up from the hotel too, which is handy"
