Top Daydream Reef Hotel Reviews

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."

The Sebel Whitsundays Airlie Beach

10/10 Excellent

"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

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."

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"

Discovery Parks - Airlie Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, great location, family friendly."

Harbour Cove

8/10 Good

"Located next to marina. Convenient location. Apartment was clean. Undercover secure carport downstairs with lift access. The only downside is there is no curtain for the front which is all glass. There ia a metal gate privacy screen but you can see through to outside and people can see inside."
