3/5 Okay

Liked: Room comfort
Airlie Beach stay
We made the mistake of thinking this was an apartment but it was a suite- one big room and bathroom so it was smaller than expected. Bed and armchair were very comfortable, location was convenient and it was a bonus to have washer and dryer. We were on ground floor so it was great to step out to pool which we were lucky to have to ourselves. Being only one of four suites in the complex was great if you want privacy. Room definitely wasn’t luxury as it felt cluttered with old style speakers for outdated iPod and mobile phones on bedside table. Nowhere to put personal belongings as no drawers in bedside tables. Shelf above the television displayed unsightly cords and devices such as old game consoles, DVD player etc. Suite didn’t have Foxtel or hairdryer as advertised. Television batteries on remote were flat. The room smelt of cigarettes and the outdoor area needed a good clean. With a few simple updates, this suite could definitely be improved. Check in and out process was easy with friendly staff.

2/5 Poor

Travelled with partner
Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Spa bath had hairs inside - no hygienically cleaned sticker either present, cigarette butts on balcony, sliding door to balcony didn’t lock, shower screen door didn’t shut, water everywhere in bathroom and limited hot water in shower. Shower hot water lasted 2 minutes then goes cold, flow of water very poor. Had to run hot water in kitchen sink to maintain hot water in shower, otherwise it goes cold. Called to complain, maintenance man sent, but couldn’t fix. We had to put up with this. This is not a cheap place to stay and expected better. This resort has no on site staff, other than part time cleaner. Managed by sister resort next door. In need of some general maintenance and TLC. Other than that, outdoor pool was great, location great, bed was extremely comfortable.

Transit stay 2 nights
Great location walking distance to shops & restaurants. Room was a great size will full size fridge & kitchen utensils. Bed was comfortable. There is no water pressure in the shower & it took about 45mins plus to fill the spa up. Overall nice stay

2/5 Poor

Great location and staff but run down and very tired. Fridge broken, rain shower does not work, balcony door does not lock, toilet seat not attached, toaster only toasts on one side, lounge falling apart. Needs a full refurbishment and given the amount of property this group manages should not be an issue. Maybe a management change is required?

The spa on balcony. Rest needs up dating and the picture on website needs to be upgraded as they have pics of the penthouse for the spa room. Spa room had no view like the picture on the web site. 4/10
