"We really enjoyed our stay at the Airlie Beach Hotel. The staff were friendly and we especially loved the pool. It’s in a great location - walking distance from everything you want/need. The rooms were clean, the beds were cozy, and the air conditioning was a God send. We would definitely stay here again as it truly looked like the best option out of all on the strip."

"The property is nice, clean and if you happen to stay in a penthouse, the views and the hot tub are an added bonus. However, I would not rank it as a 5 star resort. It is a self catering resort and lacks amenities that you would find in a hotel such as service and dining with limited reception hours. Overall okay but perhaps would stay elsewhere next time to get a personal service."

"We wanted to stay near the port of Airlie and be able to walk in and out to the Airlie pool. We also wanted to see the sea, not just have a glimpse. A small but adequate room. Undercover parking greatly appreciated, and although above a roadway, good sound proofing to enable comfortable sleeps. Lovely staff. "
