Home from Home
Reviewed By Andrew RThe apartment was luxurious and spacious, fitted with everything needed to make a perfect holiday. views across the bay from a large balcony. Parking onsite is a bit tight for SUVs. but manageable. Dining and Bar options weak, but early in the season so room for improvement. Staff at the breakfast were cheerful and friendly. A bit out of Town but a couple of dinning and drinking options within a 10 -15 min stroll along a boardwalk. Optional pools family friendly or adults only.

NEVER AGAIN
Reviewed By maureenpH8032YPWe are disgusted with the way we were treated by staff, to the point if they worked for me they would no longer have a job. Very bad attitude towards paying guests, very bad language from staff towards guests. The staff on Saturday should not be in hospitality if they don't like their guests laughing and having fun. Dirty string in the bed, cockroaches in the rooms, mould on the smoke alarm. Very disappointed considering we are local and wanted to support Club Croc. NEVER AGAIN. Many other better places to choose from next time.

Lovely hotel - great outdoor spaces
Reviewed By Stephenie PLovely hotel - easy walk to Main Street in Airlie Beach. Beautiful pool area with pier, man made beach and bar with yummy cocktails. Great place to relax with good service. We stayed mid week and our room was quiet with gorgeous views. Rooms were a nice size and comfortably furnished - they did seem half renovated with older style fridge and furnishings mixed with the new but it didn’t bother us! Would definitely recommend.

Excellent location
Reviewed By Rubybegonia08Very close to main st of Airlie Beach, not too big a hill to walk up. Also close to Woolworths, handy as we had a serviced apartment with a kitchen. Beautiful infinity pools and a spa. Only downside was that we could hear someone walking around in the apartment above us.

Reviewed By ib tThis resort left a good impression - as long as it's there for a good price I'd happily pay and stay. The management are nice and professional - left some photos as a way of justifying especially for other interested viewers that the resort has its good points.

Affordable Accommodation, Very Quiet and Private
Reviewed By YusufdouerTotally unexpected, quiet and private. I had Villa 12 with my 3 teenage kids. For the price I was expecting a backpacks den, I went in the peak of school holidays in January. Awesome comfortable stay that left us loads of $$ for tours and restaurants. Rooms are good with cupboard space and good sized fridge and a spacious bathroom. Your wide veranda becomes a mini clothes dryer. Kitchen was great and small. A/C excellent. Bus or taxi to town ($10), IGA close by, BBQ area, laundry block, Very quiet but friendly, Exceptionally clean

7 Nights In Airlie
Reviewed By mel660We returned home last week after spending 7 nights in a 3 bedroom apartment at Azure Sea Whitsunday Resort. The apartment was nice, but overall we were a bit disappointed after paying just under $3500 for an apartment that looked fabulous on the website but turned out to be not so fabulous! Firstly, the resort is situated on the side of a hill, so the views over Airlie Beach and out over the Bay are spectacular! Parking is secure, however you do have to watch that other guests don't take your allocated parking spot, which happened to us on one occasion while we were out to dinner! This was sorted fairly quickly though, thankfully. Our apartment was huge, giving us plenty of space to spread out, and the kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. However, there were some things that let this place down. The shower in the ensuite needs renovating as a matter of urgency as it is very old and tired. The shower screen has obviously never been cleaned properly as it is so stained with white water marks you can barely see through it. If things are consistently cleaned properly they do not become stained like that, regardless of the calcium content in the water. The floor tiles inside and outside the shower are also stained white (see photos attached). Not good enough for the price tag of this apartment. The sink and tap in that bathroom need to be replaced too, as the tap has a strange spout that sprays water instead of running it. This meant your clothes got wet if you were washing your hands or brushing your teeth! The balconies are advertised as private, but are only private if you stay back near the sliding glass doors undercover. If you stand at the balcony railing, the apartment above can look down onto you, meaning that if you wanted to sit or stand at the railing in your pyjamas and admire the sunrise, other people can see you! It would've also been nice to have a couple of sun lounges on the balcony to lay on, but then again, it's not private, so maybe not! The apartment above has a hot tub on the balcony which reverberated down into our apartment and was very noisy, as were the people staying there, as we could hear every footstep (sounded like a herd of elephants), every word, and every chair they scraped across the floor, all of that being even worse when they were out on their balcony! Cigarette smoke (and on one occasion, marijuana smoke!) was annoying too, constantly floating in from other apartments. We were also very disappointed with the sound of air conditioning being installed next door using a terribly loud hammer drill, from very early in the morning and continuing for hours during that particular day. Lastly, one of the 3 bedrooms is clearly a study, not a bedroom, as it had only a sliding door, and no wardrobe (only a portable shelf with a hanging rail above it) which meant our daughter couldn't properly unpack her suitcase. Overall, this place is in a great spot, giving fantastic views, but really isn't worth the high price tag due to the issues mentioned above. For the amount we paid, we expected better.
