Beautiful view from the room, well equipped room, nice toiletries, clean room and friendly staff. The restaurant and bar areas are beautiful but sadly close super early (don’t expect to eat past 8-8.30 and they will throw you out by 9pm as they are wanting to clean and lock up). The views are stunning, the pool is beautiful and well maintained. It really is a stunning location and very calm and tranquil. A great location for being near town and local bars and restaurants. A peaceful haven and slice of paradise!

We had a Coral Sea Suite which was lovely. Gorgeous views and a well appointed room and a great location. Would highly recommend. This resort is popular with weddings (3 weddings over the 5 nights we stayed!) and therefore can be a bit noisy. However staff quickly shut down any noise after 10.30pm. With all that said, we enjoyed our stay here.

Only downside was restaurant closed very early, even on a Friday night. Lots of kids in and around the pool. Didn’t worry us but worth noting. Overall, great place to stay in Airlie. We will definitely return

I had booked the most expensive 1 bedroom room in hotel with a beautiful balcony view of the sea. However, it needs a lot of work. The toilet was so old and grubby looking and hard to press the flush button. If you mansged this feat the water jumps up on the seat. Very tired throughput the bathroom, not what id expect from a hotel of this ranking. We had ants upon arrival all over the bench tops that were hard to keep at bay and when we did order eoom service the one night (tennis final night) the steak came quite cold. The pool was great, but they had problems with their QR scanning code system so cocktail orders often went missing. The buffet breakfast was simple to say the least leaving you very underwhelmed.

Stay was good due to room with view, however missing things such as in-room minibar, and hotel service was not great - lacking in comparison to other hotels we normally stay in at this price range. Pool unheated. Also breakfast is continental only unless you are prepared to pay extra. Should include eggs and bacon without paying extra at the room rate.

The location is great, but the rooms are a bit run down with uncomfortable beds and cheap pillows. The manual keys made me feel like I was in a motel. Trying to pass off as a high end resort but on a shoe string. The restaurant was very average and charged as if they had a Michelin Star. We checked out 2 hours late and they charged us an extra night for both rooms on a Monday night during the shoulder season.

Nearly $600/night. Very basic room. Bedside tables, chipped paint. No microwave, very basic TV. Would have expected a hot buffet breakfast atleast, as well as Continental. Iron was leaking water. Shut power off in our room. Just luckily found a maintenance man. He came into the room, and just flicked the trip switch. The view was amazing. Staff were good, too. I just think when you are spending that amount of money, ecpect more. We won't be back.

Booked a king spa delux room at this resort for the 3rd year in a row. Despite being double in price ($600 per night) to previous years, we were so excited to be here. On arrival we were told that we are in a ground floor bay view room. This is not what we asked for or expected. I told reception how gutted I was after spending 10 minutes in our assigned room. I sent a request for room 222 or 322 months prior to arrival and expected something similar if those rooms weren’t available. I was told that it’s pot luck what you get even if you put in a request, the rooms get assigned the night before you arrive and it’s a matter of you get what’s given to you. After spending the first day there and sleeping one night, I cried with my disappointment and went to plead with reception again. Only to be told again sorry but it is what it is! Our room was number 127. Round the side, ground floor and was in total shade from 10am onwards. The sun is hidden by the side of the building and therefore our room was cold and dark. We couldn’t sit on the balcony as the wind rips through coming off the bay. We couldn’t have a spa bath either because of the wind on this side of the resort! Even the housemaid couldn’t open our front door because of the vacuum of wind. Around the front near the pool it was beautiful sunny & no wind. We could see guests sitting on their balconies enjoying their stay. We were stuck for 5 days in a cold windy dark horrible room,paid top $$$ with no apology or care!

Had a great modern vibe with a real resort feel to it. Loved the cocktails and pool area. Not really well suited to children but still welcome. We thought the rooms particularly the bathrooms were a bit old fashioned and in need of renovation considering the high price of the rooms. The view was stunning and overall a great resort

The rooms and the view inside the ocean front rooms were nice, however, there was construction happening and pest control spraying during our stay which was not communicated in advance until the day I arrived. I emailed them ahead of my stay to request my room did not have any extra fragrances due to an allergy, but I never heard back, and they were unable to accommodate when I arrived.

View from the Coral Sea Suite was amazing. Room was modern with a real beach resort feel, added bonus was daily room service and comprehensive continental breakfast. Only one issues was at check-in, we were directed to get to our room from the ground floor corridor, meaning we had to clime 2 flights of stairs with 50 kg of baggage between us. Turns out there was a lift to level two and a ramp to level 3, we were left to discover this ourselves

Nice location, close to shops. The seafood platter was too pricey for less food. Only 6 oysters, 6 prawns, a bit of fish. With no crab and no crayfish. The most expensive menu in general for less food on plate. Great location. Top views from resort. But the food can be a bit better to attract the guess for the prices you charge.

A lovely ocean side resort. Spectacular views and an easy walk into town along the waterside. The surrounding boardwalks have amazing views and feel very safe. Our booking included a continental breakfast which had a good range of cereals, danishes, yoghurt, fruit, toast/breads, juice/coffee. It was lovely but by day 3-5 I was craving variety and a cooked breakfast. Pack a warm jumper as it can be cool in the morning when having breakfast when it is windy (July). We will definitely return. Such a lovely place to relax and enjoy the view
