Independent Report
generalQuiet, tranquil spot with beautiful views. Accommodation is basic but comfortable and clean, and the general facilities at the resort are of a good, international standard. The resort endeavours to accommodate honeymooners and couples at a separate end of the resort from the families, allowing more space and privacy. MN0309.
lobbySmall lobby, tropical style with comfortable seating. Also located within the lobby area is a small gift shop which also supplies basic essentials and doubles as a tour desk facility to assist guests with transport and tours. Adjacent to the gift shop is a day spa offering a range of treatments with Algologie products.
exteriorLow rise cluster of buildings, scattered throughout the tropical landscaped gardens. Hammocks are hung under the trees on the beach. Located beyond reception you will find tennis courts and a gym. There are also 20kms of walking tracks around the island. On the beach is an activities kiosk, offering a range of water activities including jetskiing, snorkling, paddleskis and beach volleyball. The resort also features a lap pool and a lagoon style pool and spa. An outdoor bar overlooking the beach, adjacent to the main swimming pool area and restaurant, is a great spot to unwind and soak in the views!
restaurantBuffet breakfast, lunch and dinner is served daily in Palms Restaurant, located on the ground floor. Dinner buffets are themed. There is also Cafe Paradiso which offers light meals, snacks and beverages at affordable prices.

locationFly into Prosepine (closest airport to Airlie Beach) or into Hamilton Island. From Hamilton Island there are boat transfers to Long Island. Alternatively transfers depart from the mainland at Shute Harbour which is a scenic 10min drive from the centre of Airlie Beach village (a bus makes regular trips from town to the terminal, there is also a taxi rank on the main street). Ferry transfer from the mainland takes only 20minutes. A lovely cruise through the Whitsunday passage, home to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.
