Summit Apartments Airlie Beach
Summit Apartments Airlie Beach"Es apartamento bonito y limpio pero está retirado de la zona principal. Hay que caminar 15 min de bajada cuando vas a la playa y de subida es terrible. Tienes que tomar Uber. No ha restaurantes ni tienda cerca del departamento. Nunca llegaron a limpiar. Es como rentar un Airbnb a precio de hotel. No me volvería a hospedar ahí por qué no es cómodo. Tampoco cuenta con elevadores. Hay un pequeño desnivel én el baño que causa accidentes. "

Top Airlie Beach Hotel Reviews
Club Wyndham Airlie Beach
"From check-in to departure and location it was all excellent"
The Sebel Whitsundays Airlie Beach
"Staff did not give us the wifi code and it was not available in the room. Staff not there when we have to pick up our luggage and no phone to call,"
Heart Hotel and Gallery Whitsundays
"A little noisy at night but otherwise a very nice stay."
Azure Sea Whitsunday Resort
"We got 2 bedroom apartment with ocean view. We loved it, as we were able to see the ocean view in the master bedroom, patio, and living room. While one of the bathrooms had a little bit of mold on the shower tiles, overall, we found it is acceptable. We had the toilet separately away from the shower stall, which worked out perfectly for us, in addition to the full bathroom in the master bedroom. The ACs in each room worked perfectly fine. The apartment was cleaned and well organized and decorated. The beds and pillows were comfortable. The only things that we thought that could be better are: (1) the bedrooms had blankets but not set up with the bedding, and they weren't washed as we found strings of hair and stain, etc. We would prefer that the blankets are set up as part of the bedding with 1 sheet under and 1 sheet above on the bed. (2) While the bowls, glass cups, mugs, and plates were cleaned and washed, they weren't dried properly before they were put into the cupboard. It wouldn't be good for the apartments as if the next guest don't use them, it could create mold, etc. We could understand as the requirement was self contained (putting them away). But a lot of them were still wet and had moist in them, yet, placed downward in the cupboard. We had to wash all over before using. Staff were nice and helpful. We loved the clean pool. It was also quite a uphill walk. Parking was easily accessed. Great location! Woolworths is down the street. Highly recommended!"
