Beach Hotels in Queensland, Australia

The stay was generally pleasant, and I appreciated that they located us on a high floor. The service desk staff were kind and helpful. However, I was disappointed that they don’t accept any cash. I usually pay cash for food and parking, but I was forced to use my card and ended up paying extra card surcharges.

Very close to the main street, just a few minutes walk, very convenient. There is a waiter who speaks some Chinese, very nice! The sea view is not wide enough, the facilities are relatively old, the food is not delicious, maybe it's because of different tastes. The bed smelled at night, fortunately we only booked one night and went to another hotel the next day.

Perfect location. The hotel staff is very friendly & helpful. Love the beautiful view of the garden, and kangaroos everywhere. They are so cute. Pls enjoy the restaurant & coffee around the hotel, good food & drink. We will come back next time on Summer time, and enjoy the outdoors swimming pool facilities.

The rooms are fantastic, giving off a real resort vibe with a huge central swimming pool, complete with a diving area – absolutely perfect for families with kids. There's a Coles supermarket just a 250-meter stroll away, which stays open late, so you can easily grab all your groceries and essentials. Getting to Port of Airlie is a bit of a journey, but thankfully there's a direct shuttle bus right outside the entrance that gets you there in about 17 minutes. The only minor letdown was the air conditioning; even set to 18°C, it didn't feel particularly cold. However, visiting in early September, it was still quite bearable.

Lovely hotel located at the other end of the Esplanade. The broad walk at the back of the hotel was nice to stroll along and an easy way to get to the city center. Kudos to the reception staff, Riccardo for leaving a really good first impression when I first arrived. He was so clear in explaining everything I needed to know before I checked in, and subsequent days when I saw him he was also really helpful with whatever requests I had. The room was big and spacious, very comfy beds!! The housekeeping staff were also friendly whenever I saw them as I head out for the day. Food from the room service was tasty. However, the breakfast buffet options were almost the same everyday though, wish there could have been more variety. But overall, I still had a rather pleasant stay here(:

I was mostly happy with the resort. There were some things missing like more food options (only two restaurants) and small luxuries like a sauna for example. It’s also hard to rate the staff as you had some incredibly helpful staff and then some real depressing ones that were just rude. The only other thing that was a bit of a shock was that the beaches were just full of dead coral and no sand. I hadn’t been to one of the islands in the Whitsundays so I was surprised to see that. The photos of the resort did not show this so it would have been nice to know so it didn’t lead to disappointment. Some positives though is that the resort was beautifully designed and they offered a lot of free water activities like kayaking for example. The buffet breakfast was also really nice.

We were absolutely delighted with the complimentary room upgrade — such a wonderful surprise that made our stay even more special. This isn’t our first time staying at Crowne Plaza, and once again it reminded us why we keep coming back. The location is excellent, just a 2-minute walk to the tram station, which was especially convenient for me after my recent TKR. Getting around to must-see attractions was effortless, and visiting the SkyPoint Observatory Deck was a highlight. Overall, we were very happy with our stay — so much so that we felt we should have extended an extra night. Highly recommended for comfort, convenience and great service.

The location is fantastic! It's just a two or three-minute walk to the light rail station, and then another five minutes to the beach. There are all sorts of restaurants and clothing stores nearby, so you definitely won't have to worry about food or lodging. The room and bathroom are both very spacious, and there's even an outdoor pool. Plus, they offer free luggage storage.

As a solo traveler I highly recommend Magnum's as a safe, well located and value for money accommodation provider. Great service, facilities and fantastically located. With Woolworths next door, well stocked and clean kitchen and great adjacent coffee shop, my needs were well met. Even with the pub pumping at full blast, there was no noise interrupting a peaceful sleep. Will definitely be back!

Mission Reef Resort is located right next to the beach and is the perfect location for a peaceful short break.
