Mirage Whitsundays

Mirage Whitsundays

8/10 Good
"Lovely VERY large modern apartment with great views of the bay. Only downside was a fishy smell about the apartment which we were provided with air freshener to periodically spray the air-conditioning unit to try and get rid of it. Toilet basin didnt look too clean with etching on it. Laundry facilities were very useful to refresh clothes half way through our holiday. Breakfast was just ok, but they did provide a lovely take out box of pastries and fruit for our last day as we were checking out too early for breakfast. Overall a great stay"

"Enjoyed my stay. Room was clean but small for the price. The only real disappointment was the breakfast. Coffee was good but the buffet had limited selection and it was extra for a cooked breakfast. Staff were very helpful."

"Nice hotel in a great location. Our King Coral room felt a little dated but the 15th floor provided excellent views across Catseye Beach, with a nice balcony to sit and watch the world below. The buffet breakfast is extensive and fantastic. Every taste is catered for with heaps of food every day. Ours was included in the room price and very much worth it. Didn't use the amenities like the gym, sauna, spa, tennis courts etc but they looked really good. Staff were very helpful and sorted any issues very quickly and efficiency Would certainly return for another stay if we ever go back"
