Shingley Beach Resort

This was the best place I have stayed in Airlie Beach. I think a lot had to do with the friendly owners.

The property is situated across from Able Point Marina which is perfect for those heading out to the reef.

Most of the accommodation is set behind on a huge hill, which is a mission to climb, however on arrival the owners do assist you with a person lift up with your luggage.

There is one room that has been assigned to those who have trouble walking up stairs or are wheel chair bound. This room is situated right at the front of the pool.

The rooms are in the process of bein re furbished to create a more modern appearance, however they are still comfortable, spacious and tidy.

There is also a new restaurant featured in the Resort.

This property is approx 15 min stroll from the Main Street in Airlie Beach and it is a nice walk along the Marina

Beach Club Resort

One street from the esplanade this property is prime location without being amoungst the rat race. The Property is well designed and is perfect for a romantic weekend away for a couple.

This property is not suitable for large families as the rooms are only designed to accommodate 3 people comfortable.

On the top floor is a fantastic BBQ area featuring a glass bottom pool.

I really enjoyed my stay here and would definitely recommend it in the future.

Definitely a 3 star property. I was a little disappointed in the accommodation on this Island. The rooms are very run down and general maintenance seems no existent. Simple things such as re painting the mini golf and brushing away the leaves each day were things that seemed to be over looked.

The staff, more often than not, were moody and it sent off a bad vibe. I had actually asked one of the bar staff to atleast smile when serving me but I was refused a smile.

The Island itself was nice, with beautiful views.

The meals were nice but not anything to write home about.

There were a few complaints from other visitors about the activities and the kids club not being available.

There were night time activities on offer but seen as how they were not widely published I didn’t even know they were on.

The best part about this trip was the cocktails and walking trails.
