"Room is clean, owner Brain is very nice and helpful. If you drive there , is very beautiful place to stay for a family. At the top of mountain range, 2 kms to the Harbour there is a cafe Bristol at Ferry terminal. Beautiful ocean view from balcony for every room. Recommend "

"Very clean, like it was brand new. Quiet. Good location. "

"We had a spa balcony one bedroom unit. It overlooked the property and the port. The room was spacious and it had a full sized fridge, microwave AND a dishwasher which was a pleasant surprise. Even though there is only a fan in the bedroom, the living room air-con was sufficient to cool the entire unit. The rear car park was close to the lift. We enjoyed the communal hot tub which really was relaxing. We are not exactly spring chickens but we were able to walk to town, maybe 10-12 mins casual walk. It was sprinkling rain and on the return we hopped on the bus, which stops across the road. The driveway from the road is steep but did not cause us any problems, the upper levels are accessible by a paved walkway at the side of the building. There is some traffic noise when sitting on the balcony, there was a cruise ship in and the port was very busy, once inside with the doors shut it was quiet. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely rebook."

"I booked one night at Coral Sea Resort in Airlie Beach as a treat for my final evening, based on the excellent reviews and appealing photos. Unfortunately, the reality did not match expectations at all. While the common areas and pool are indeed beautiful, the rooms are extremely disappointing. They feel outdated, poorly maintained, and far below what you would expect from a 4-star property. The bathroom looks like it hasn’t been renovated in decades, the room itself is very basic and almost hostel-like, and even basic conveniences are missing — for example, there are no power sockets near the bed. The bed was also uncomfortable and the overall standard of the room felt neglected. The most unacceptable part, however, was the breakfast. We paid in advance for breakfast included, only to be told that any hot food (eggs, omelettes, etc.) would be charged extra. The buffet consisted mainly of cold items like yogurt, fruit, and some cold cuts — no eggs, no bacon, no hot options included. This is simply not acceptable for a hotel marketed as 4-star. A proper breakfast should at the very least include basic hot items. Overall, the hotel seems to rely heavily on misleading photos (some of which appear heavily edited or not representative of reality) and renovated common spaces, while the rooms are far below standard. Very disappointing experience — I would not stay here again."

"The hotel was in the perfect location. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend. Would definitely stay here again!"

"It was a decent place to stay however I wouldn’t stay there on the weekend again because it’s very noisy when it’s full of campers and people. The people staying in the room next to mine kept slamming their doors loudly. I don’t know why they were so rude. That was very annoying. It was quite nice when most people cleared out on Sunday!"

"Clean room /great staff/ located minutes away from the Cruise Whitsundays passenger port . Nice pool "
