Kid Friendly Hotels in Airlie Beach

"Great location. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean and comfortable."

"We stayed in apartment 12 which was 2 bedrooms & is the central apartment on the top floor. The views were spectacular! The apartment was so spacious with an open plan living, kitchen, dining area with each opening onto the balcony which was equally spacious. The large outdoor dining area was covered & the outer area caught the sun all day with sunloungers on it. The furnishings were lovely & the beds comfy. The kitchen was extremely well equipped & the washer & dryer were so useful. The pool area was beautiful & was much bigger than it looked on the photos. I wouldn't recommend the location for those with young children or anyone elderly or unfit as the hill is a challenge, especially in the heat but for us was so worth it & I could not stop gazing at the view. I loved Airlie & if I were to ever visit again, I would not stay anywhere but number 12 or 12a Martinique. "

"Perfect location for us. "

"We had a spa balcony one bedroom unit. It overlooked the property and the port. The room was spacious and it had a full sized fridge, microwave AND a dishwasher which was a pleasant surprise. Even though there is only a fan in the bedroom, the living room air-con was sufficient to cool the entire unit. The rear car park was close to the lift. We enjoyed the communal hot tub which really was relaxing. We are not exactly spring chickens but we were able to walk to town, maybe 10-12 mins casual walk. It was sprinkling rain and on the return we hopped on the bus, which stops across the road. The driveway from the road is steep but did not cause us any problems, the upper levels are accessible by a paved walkway at the side of the building. There is some traffic noise when sitting on the balcony, there was a cruise ship in and the port was very busy, once inside with the doors shut it was quiet. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely rebook."

"This is one of the best places I have ever stayed at. The apartment was superb with a very large balcony offering excellent views of Airlie Beach and a hot tub with a view"

"I booked one night at Coral Sea Resort in Airlie Beach as a treat for my final evening, based on the excellent reviews and appealing photos. Unfortunately, the reality did not match expectations at all. While the common areas and pool are indeed beautiful, the rooms are extremely disappointing. They feel outdated, poorly maintained, and far below what you would expect from a 4-star property. The bathroom looks like it hasn’t been renovated in decades, the room itself is very basic and almost hostel-like, and even basic conveniences are missing — for example, there are no power sockets near the bed. The bed was also uncomfortable and the overall standard of the room felt neglected. The most unacceptable part, however, was the breakfast. We paid in advance for breakfast included, only to be told that any hot food (eggs, omelettes, etc.) would be charged extra. The buffet consisted mainly of cold items like yogurt, fruit, and some cold cuts — no eggs, no bacon, no hot options included. This is simply not acceptable for a hotel marketed as 4-star. A proper breakfast should at the very least include basic hot items. Overall, the hotel seems to rely heavily on misleading photos (some of which appear heavily edited or not representative of reality) and renovated common spaces, while the rooms are far below standard. Very disappointing experience — I would not stay here again."

"It was a quick stay just to getaway! Lounge chair was badly stained and outside deck looked like someone dropped a cup of coffee that splattered every where and wasn't cleaned up, apart from that, we loved the space and amentaties"

"We had a great 3-night family stay at Whitsunday Terraces in Airlie Beach. The location is excellent—close to everything—and the views are absolutely stunning, which really made the trip special. That said, the kitchen and bathroom are quite dated and in need of an upgrade. The most frustrating part was the lack of WiFi in the rooms, which was a real inconvenience during our stay. Overall, a very enjoyable stay thanks to the location and views, but a few updates would make a big difference."

"The water view room was light, bright and airy despite being a little small. Both cleaning and guest services teams were very professional and friendly and the beds were very comfortable. Despite being in the heart of town, the room was surprisingly quiet. An extra bonus was being on flat ground, near the water and within walking distance of most attractions. Happy not to have to hike/taxi the incredibly steep hills of Airlie after a night out. "
