Top Mermaids Beach Hotel Reviews

The Sebel Whitsundays Airlie Beach

8/10 Good

"We found the hotel good and location was really good we were initially a little upset that the room we had had a big arch that obscured the view and was mouldy to look at - I didn’t have the energy to complain as it was a cheap rate. But it’s not the first time in recent months that I feel the Accor hotels we have stayed at have not been accurate when we have booked a city view room in Melbourne (looking at a wall and dumpster) and an ocean view room here at Airley which should probably been sold as an obstructed ocean view…."
