"We enjoyed a room away from the busy main hotel. However, we still had access to the main hotel. We were able to enjoy a simple (and cheaper!) home made breakfast. Coca Chu, Beach House Restaurant (which we tried - excellent!) - easy walking distance. We picked up a community umbrella at Beach House when we were caught out in rain, but would have appreciated if there was one left at our room. Many would find the adjacent buggy park useful, too."

Top Daydream Island Hotel Reviews

Colonial Palms Motor Inn

8/10 Good

"Room was spacious but dated - cracked tiles and dirty grout, curtains held on curtain rail with cellotape. Staff were great, really helpful and attentive. Pools were well maintained, really nice feature. Breakfast was a welcome surprise. Really nice. Would stay again because overall very good value for money just needs a little maintenance."

Mirage Whitsundays

8/10 Good

"The Mirage Whitsundays is a beautiful resort. The rooms clean, the views spectacular, the staff very friendly, and the grounds beautiful. The pools were nice but not heated. Our one disappointment was the restaurant which we were told is under different management. The food in general was hit or miss. I truly believe that with a little extra attention this resort would easily be 5 star."

Magnums Airlie Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect stay in Airlie Beach. As a solo traveler, the room was clean and comfortable. The site itself is greatly maintained and gives the illusion of being in a jungle. The site is also centrally located in Airlie Beach, walking distance to the harbors for day trips, the Airlie Beach lagoon and beach areas. It’s also adjacent to a grocery store and pharmacy. The perfect stay for someone who plans on doing day trips and needs a comfortable place to sleep."

Kipara Tropical Rainforest Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"Kipara was a lovely place to stay, close to Airlie Beach walkable or a short 5 minute bus ride away. The staff were welcoming from the start and very helpful thought our stay. HELENE on reception was lovely helped me out with my travel enquires and a good listener. She is great and a credit to their staff. Cabins are clean, kitchens too. We even used the laundry facilities while we were there. Pool was a nice place to sit and unwind in too, a nice place to stay, highly recommend."
