Top Airlie Beach Hotel Reviews

Coral Sea Resort

Coral Sea Resort

8/10 Good
"I expected a hot breakfast but it was mostly cold items which were good… still had to pay extra for hot eggs. The pool and the grounds were great, the room was clean. However, the birds decided to wake us up early which was not the hotel’s fault at all… just be ready. Short 15-minute walk to the center of town. No beach. Happy hour was reasonably priced. Dinner meals were good. Staff were very friendly and accommodating."
