There were some roadworks near our booked apartment, so upon arrival we were informed we'd been upgraded to a villa. This place was incredible! I was so sad to leave. Super soft cloud like bed, amazing rainfall shower and spa bath, great kitchen and laundry in our villa... We got our own plunge pool and access to the two beautiful pools and spas on resort grounds. Close by are shops in Cannonvale and Airlie Beach is only a 10min drive down the road - so you're far from the backpackers keeping...

All stuff are very kind and friendly. The room was very clean with confortable beds and well cordinated with lovely tropical design. It was exactly the same look as we saw on the website.
The hotel was very close to the port of Airly and about 800m away from the central part of the town where there are Woolworth and some other shops.
The hotel was located at the bottom of the hill and so you can't expect a beautiful panorama view however, with a lot of pine trees planted and ocen water...
