    • Loved the proximity and access to the beach. Room was nice and clean. Would recomend this motel.
    • Close to everything
    • close to shops & Lagoon, bed comfortable.

    Cons -

    • TV not working in first room & kids room didnt have TV or netflix working. nosiy till 3am on the Thursday night.
    • Rooms were clean, although the cleaning products were very strong in the whole room (over powering smell) and the floor still felt icky. Air conditioner worked but not properly, room felt hot. Water leak from bathroom vanity, water all over the floor. Fortunately the location made up for everything. Very convenient position!
    • So noisy/walls paper thin and dated. Definitely not worth over 200 a night.

    Location is good if you like being close to shops bars and public pool.

    So noisy/walls paper thin and dated. Definitely not worth over 200 a night.

    7MariaPosted on: 4-29-2025

    Nice room, big, comfortable. Close to the swimming pool and in the centre of the town. A

    A bit noisy at night, you can hear everything.

    6SineadPosted on: 4-28-2025

    Perfect location right at the lagoon & in the centre!

    There were some ants crawling on the counters upon arrival & also it was quite dated!

    8SharonPosted on: 4-24-2025

    Super central location

    No view. Certainly not "on the beach"

    10ChristopherPosted on: 4-18-2025

    A very comfortable place to stay as the rooms are quite large with a balcony where we ate breakfast together. The location is ideal as the lagoon is out the back gate and the main street is right out the front with all the restaurants etc right there. The staff are very helpful and friendly as my family had a great time staying at Whitsunday On The Beach

    5SherynPosted on: 4-17-2025

    Amazing locations great for lagoon and town centre! An unpleasant experience with the smell in the toilet/bathroom that weeping into rest of area to sleep. After contacting management they advised the exhaust fan had failed. But we had moved on!

    The hotel is in the centre of airlie. Really good location. The room was big and clean, the bed was amazing. It’s a little bit old but is really nice.

    10DanielPosted on: 4-8-2025

    My experience was absolutely awesome. I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Close to all facilities beach right at your doorstep step. On the beach was clean, tidy, and easy access management was terrific. We needed another night accommodation and they sorted it out for us without any problems. I highly recommend this accommodation.

    8CarmenPosted on: 4-4-2025

    A bit dated but had had everything you need, right down to fly spray. It was in the best location, direct access to the lagoon. Close to shops and eateries.

    8GlendaPosted on: 3-5-2025

    Close to main centre/cafes/pubs and lagoon. Comfy bed.

    All good

    The lagoon behind the property.Location.Leaving.

    Patio was located in the parking lot with cars intruding into our patio space.Toilet/bathroom area was not very clean. Mold.Linens had blood stains and no handtowel provided.Very dated.Rusted out vending machine used for a fence. Nice touch!

    9GeoffreyPosted on: 2-11-2025

    Right in the middle of Airlie, perfect position, nightie and dining on one side and lagoon and beach on the other. Owner was happy to help me when I needed everything though he didn't have to . With be back

    It was too clean , the TV was nicely positioned and reasonably new , the bed was far too comfortable, it really was a shambles hahaha obviously I'm joking

    8EvelynPosted on: 1-27-2025

    The location of our room with the sea and lagoon view. The bed was comfortable.

    The TV was basic with very little canals. The WIFI was not strong enough

    7EmilyPosted on: 1-24-2025

    Was close to the beach and shops

    Carpark

    9LisaPosted on: 1-19-2025

    Right on the beach and the main strip in Airlie. Perfect for what we wanted. Staff were great and very accommodating.

    Nothing at all. Some people might find it noisy due to bars across the road but didn’t bother us at all (couple in our 50’s)

    6RafePosted on: 1-18-2025

    Location price.

    Sewerage riser pipe outside absolutely stunk the unit out. Couldn’t even open the doors or sit on the balcony to watch the passing throngs.
