Top Whitsundays Hotel Reviews

Martinique Whitsunday

Martinique Whitsunday

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at Martinique. Well appointed, comfortable apartments set back from the waterfront. Absolutely stunning views overlooking Airlie Beach and the surrounding islands from its elevated site. Amazing infinity pool with heated spa where you can relax and take in the stunning location. Very happy to recommend for your stay at Airlie Beach. Hope to visit again soon."

Coral Sea Resort

Coral Sea Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We loved Coral Sea Resort! The bar menu by the pool was really great and the hotel is very easy walking distance from the main town. The pool area can get quite busy because day pass guests can arrive from 10:30am so get your sun bed early."

The Sebel Whitsundays Airlie Beach

"Staff friendly upon arrival :) They were very happy to keep my luggage to the side when I arrived early until I was ready to check in. Rooms were very decently sized, and you get an awesome view from the balcony! Definitely would stay again"

Magnums Airlie Beach

Magnums Airlie Beach

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely stay in the queen cabin – it was nice and spacious! Being right next to the Wi-Fi area meant we could get online easily (though not all rooms have in-room access). The mattress wasn’t the best, but otherwise the room was comfortable. It was also generally quiet (although we stayed mid-week so it wasn’t very busy). The staff were lovely and friendly, and the kitchen had everything you need to make a quick lunch or dinner. There’s a Woolworths supermarket about 30 seconds walk from the kitchen too."

Palm Bay Resort

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!"

"Beautiful property. Quiet location away from town but easy transport links. Lovely rooms and beautiful gardens and pool. Would recommend."

Colonial Palms Motor Inn

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"

Mirage Whitsundays

Mirage Whitsundays

10/10 Excellent

"The property was above our expectations. Our penthouse apartment was amazing, spacious, clean, beautiful bathroom products, excellent kitchen supplies with a handy lap pool as well as other great pools. The staff were attentive and friendly and couldn’t be more helpful. We would definitely recommend anyone wanting to stay here."
