My girlfriend and I recently stayed there and we didn't have any expectations of what we were getting into, but now we do after staying here. It's set a pretty high bar and we both thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and best of all the managers looked after us the whole time we were there. I couldn't recommend this place... more

Although we stayed at Waterfront a couple of years ago, I feel it needs a mention. We stayed for 3 nights and were very happy. Our room was on the upper level and we had absolute privacy on our balcony. The bed is very confortable and the rooms spacious. It is a very short walk to the town centre. The... more

When we got here we couldnt believe it, the Waterfront Whitsunday is now about 1/2 a mile from the waterfront and there is a huge building site in front of the hotel. We didnt stay long. The updside was that the owner/person on reception was very nice and allowed us to change hotels and even booked it for us. We... more

I visited Airlie Beach for the first time this year and I booked the Waterfront Whitsundays because of the great reviews on Trip Advisor. I wasnt dissapointed at all. The rooms have a new Plasma tv's and the spa on the balcony is a great way to end the day. The service is the best I've experienced for a long... more

We only stayed at the Waterfront Whitsunday for one night and chose this property based on its location and the positive reviews here on TripAdvisor. Before getting into details I have the say the 2 best things about this property are the extremely nice and helpful guys who run it and the kitchens in the rooms. The hotel has a... more

We chose this hotel because of the excellent reviews on tripadvsior and were expecting great things, especially because of the price (approx AU$170 per night) and we decided to have one night in a lovely hotel before a sailing trip - We booked through rooms to go and checked in with a lovely guy who turned out to own the... more

Dear stephwana Thank you for your review we are grateful for your feedback. I am sorry that you decided to leave us early due to the musty smell from the air conditioning unit, as advised at the time the air conditioning unit was scheduled to be serviced that day as we had recognised some days earlier it required servicing and...

My partner and I stayed here for 3 nights before heading to one of the islands. The guys who run the place are great and were very helpful suggesting things for us to do and places to eat. They even drove us down to the main street when it was raining one night and then down to the marina to... more

The help and service we received from these guys was phonomenal. We had flights cancelled and got in a real mess. They practically sorted out our onward journey and got our holiday back on track. So glad we stayed here...Oh yes, and the room was excellent as well! more
