Whitsunday Apartments
10/10 Excellent
"Excellent accommodation. Beautiful staff. Great location. 10/10. Will definitely return."
Daydream Island Resort
10/10 Excellent
"The island is so cute and peaceful. The resort is perfectly situated at the ferry dock and you can stay inside the resort until the ferry pulls in which is nice if it's raining. The resort is perfect for a short visit, the food was good and the amenities were perfect for a relaxing break. The free use of snorkeling gear is a nice touch as you can see their newly grown reef right from the beach. The wallaroos are so cute wandering around and you can feed them. I believe most ferries stop at daydream and go to Airlie or Hamilton and on to Whitsunday island so it is very convenient to get on and off the island. Overall would recommend the resort for a nice get away."
Elysian Luxury Eco Island Retreat
10/10 Excellent
"This is the perfect place to stay if you want the things it offers. The list includes being a small resort, limited to 20 people in 10 villas, brilliant staff who constantly go above and beyond to care for you, excellent food, and peace and quiet. This is a remote island location with no shops or alternative entertainment, but a real community feel, personal relationships with staff and guests. There are good kayaks etc to go out to see the local turtles, but just the one 2k walking track up into the hills. It is rough ground, steep in places, not suitable for running, but brilliant for working up a sweat to combat the fabulous eating every day. Loved the 5.30 meeting around the fire pit for pre-dinner drinks and canapés! We stayed 10 days - longer than most - and were ready to return to reality afterwards, but can’t recommend Elysian enough….provided you want what it offers Huge thanks to Charlton whose intervention sorted out a huge with the resort where we were originally booked."
Qualia
10/10 Excellent
"Place was great! The golf carts were wonderful. The food was amazing. The staff was attentive when asked but the service could have been more personalized. We were soaked as was our luggage from a storm when checking in and the staff didn't know and or could have expedited our check in to get us warm and dry. Staff didn't remember our names but was friendly."
Palm Bay Resort
10/10 Excellent
"Palm Bay was a beautiful location to spend our honeymoon. Staff were very friendly, so many national park trails to walk, plenty of places to snorkel and high quality food from the restaurant. We loved going out on the supplied paddle boards to check out coral or watch the sunset. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a nice place to relax and be in nature!"
The Sundays
10/10 Excellent
"Hôtel de luxe méritant 6 étoiles! Accueil personnalisé à l’aéroport: serviettes fraîches, transport des valises. Établissement sans soucis: glaces à la piscine ( inclus), cocktail de bienvenue. Service aux chambres deux fois par jour. Piscine et plage privée mais seule la plage publique adjacente permet la baignade. Prévoir votre réservation de buggy à l’avance: nous n’avions pas fait de réservation et aucun buggy n’était disponible. Le gérant a réglé notre demande et nous avions un buggy quelques heures plus tard! Cet établissement est très attentionné pour ses clients et mérite un détour: une classe à part. Petit déjeuner inclus tout aussi parfait. Simplement wow …"
Poinciana Lodges -Ocean Views
10/10 Excellent
"An older-style apartment but it had everything we needed. Very spacious. Nice view from balcony. Bed comfortable. Kitchen well-enough equipped. Location was good, being only a few minutes by buggy to the marina and to Catseye Beach. The pool looked good but we didn’t actually use it. Would definitely stay here again."
