Top Daydream Beach Hotel Reviews

Airlie Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely decor and bathroom only there 1 night would highly recommend"

Martinique Whitsunday

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at the Martinique Whitsunday! The pool was fabulous and never too busy. The views from our deck and apartment were stunning of Airlie Beach and the marina. The apartment was spacious and updated appliances such as a smartfridge with a water and ice dispenser we found very useful. As described the complex is up a hill but worth it for the views and it is still close to walk to everything in the main strip and to Woolworths. The bathroom had a double sink and shower with good water pressure. The expedia listing was very accurate and the pictures described the unit we received. I would highly recommend booking for your stay."

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."

at Boathaven Bay Holiday Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely staff and very helpful with local information."

Baybliss Studio 1

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful views. Priceless"
