BEACHFRONT UNIT "EVERYTHING YOU NEED AT A PRICE YOU"LL LOVE" Frangipani 206 <br>

10/10 Excellent

"Great room and amazing communication / service. Went above and beyond to help us during our stay. Highly recommend and will stay again. Thanks Team for an amazing trip"

Poinciana Lodges -Ocean Views

10/10 Excellent

"An older-style apartment but it had everything we needed. Very spacious. Nice view from balcony. Bed comfortable. Kitchen well-enough equipped. Location was good, being only a few minutes by buggy to the marina and to Catseye Beach. The pool looked good but we didn’t actually use it. Would definitely stay here again."

InterContinental Hayman Great Barrier Reef by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Had a fantastic trip here. Facilities were excellent, however the hotel was looking a little dirty and tired. Considering the price per night, and the extremely high prices for all the food and beverages, I would have thought this would have been a bit more up to scratch. Most of the staff were very friendly."

COMPASS PT 5 - HAMILTON ISLAND - GREAT BARRIER REEF - WHITSUNDAYS - WHITEHAVEN

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic stay at Compass Point 5 and the photos don't do the apartment justice! It has an absolutely stunning view and gorgeous balcony to relax on, it is spacious with a well thought-out layout and the separation of the toilet and shower in the large bathroom is useful. Everything is within a few minutes drive on the golf buggy, which is fun to ride around in. The host was very easy to communicate with and the valet pick-up and drop-off all went very smoothly.Cannot recommend Compass Point 5 highly enough! Would definitely stay again."
