Whitsundays

"We enjoyed a room away from the busy main hotel. However, we still had access to the main hotel. We were able to enjoy a simple (and cheaper!) home made breakfast. Coca Chu, Beach House Restaurant (which we tried - excellent!) - easy walking distance. We picked up a community umbrella at Beach House when we were caught out in rain, but would have appreciated if there was one left at our room. Many would find the adjacent buggy park useful, too."

Whitsunday Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Spectacular views from our balcony and lots of birds and wallabies! Staff were very helpful. Free shuttle was great! Beach was a very short walk from the property! Will definitely be back."

InterContinental Hayman Great Barrier Reef by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Had a fantastic trip here. Facilities were excellent, however the hotel was looking a little dirty and tired. Considering the price per night, and the extremely high prices for all the food and beverages, I would have thought this would have been a bit more up to scratch. Most of the staff were very friendly."

Palm Bungalows

10/10 Excellent

"Pretty plain room. It was right next to 20 plus wallabies that come out in afternoon to feed. Lots of Australian birds too! Not good for seniors that have a hard time walking."

Beach Club

10/10 Excellent

"Beach Club is a wonderful location for a tropical island holiday break and the staff are absolutely first rate! Nothing is too much trouble and they are so friendly and efficient. Breakfast offers a huge range of options, most of which can be modified to your liking or particular dietary needs. The room views are spectacular (idyllic), with wallabies regularly grazing on the lawns outside your room. Walks/hikes to Passage Peak and/or various other locations provide for stunning views of the Whitsundays."

"Absolutely loved my stay here! The staff were so kind and the room was very clean. I also really liked the central location of the hotel. Thank you for having us!"

"Furniture was out of date. Apartment needs an upgrade"

Elysian Luxury Eco Island Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"This resort is brilliant for relaxing. Only 20 adults on site at any time, which provides a great ambience and chilled vibe. The transfers are magical - we chose the helicopter in, and the boat out. The food was terrific and the accommodation very good with great views. The resort is highly recommended!"

Qualia

8/10 Good

"qualia is one of the most beautiful properties we have visited. The setting, architecture, views, and atmosphere truly feel special and uniquely Australian. Our arrival experience was excellent. Noemi provided a warm airport pickup, smooth check-in, and a thoughtful overview of the property and room. The accommodations themselves were stunning. We also had an incredible “Best of Both Worlds” tour with Pedro, who was engaging, knowledgeable, and passionate about the island. It was one of the highlights of the trip. The main challenge during the first 24 hours was inconsistency in service attentiveness. At times, particularly at the pool and during our first dinner at Long Pavilion, service felt less proactive than expected for a property at this level. Drink refills, reservation follow-up, and simple check-ins occasionally required prompting rather than feeling naturally anticipated. What truly elevated the experience was the response from leadership. Rebecca, the General Manager, was exceptional: thoughtful, responsive, attentive, and genuinely interested in feedback. Her professionalism and accountability significantly improved the remainder of our stay. Beach Club dinner was another standout, with warm staff, relaxed pacing, and beautifully prepared food and cocktails. Overall, qualia delivers an extraordinary setting and many memorable moments. While there were some early service inconsistencies, the property’s beauty, excursions, dining, and strong leadership respon"
