“Excellent”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

We booked here after a last-minute change of plans to come to Airlie beach a bit early. We LOVED it. We stayed in a one bedroom, self-contained apartment and it was luxury. Full kitchen, washing machine, spa, big courtyard. It was definitely a great way to spend a few nights if you've got the money. The pool and staff were also great. Just know, its not actually on airlie beach, but around the corner a bit. However, this is probably better because you don't have to climb a mountain to get home and its really quiet.

Room Tip: One bedrooms are excellent

We love everything about the property - great position - lovely clean rooms. Suits us perfectly. This was our third stay and definitely not the last.

Room Tip: Rooms on the the first floor are quieter

“Marina Shores Apartments, Airlie Beach”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2012

I had the pleasure of staying in a 2 bedroom apartment over Christmas and had a very enjoyable holiday, The units are situated at Shingley Beach so you need a car to get to the shops unless you like a long walk. Each room had individual air conditioning which is a bonus and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had a full size fridge big enough to put all our Christmas food and drinks in and a lot of thought had gone in to equipping the kitchen with every appliance and utensil we needed. The main bedroom had glass doors overlooking the balcony and a water view, a walk through wardrobe, bathroom with shower, toilet and spa bath. The second bedroom had a bathroom and toilet right next to it for convenience. There was a washing machine, dryer and ironing board behind a sliding door. The loungeroom had a comfortable lounge with a TV and CD/DVD player and free Foxtel, this led onto a large balcony with outdoor setting and electric barbeque and had spectacular water views. Undercover parking was on the same level, so no stairs and a lift serviced the different floors. The pool was in a lovely secluded tropical surrounding and even thoughI didn't go in, it looked very inviting. The boardwalk between our unit and the water was very popular and we were just far enough away from the main shops & eateries at Airlie for it to be nice and quiet. Marie who was on reception was very friendly and helpful, all in all a great place to stay, I would recommend this establishment and will certainly return in the near future.

Room Tip: We didn't use the Fitness Center or Room service, so I cannot comment on those. We were in room...

“Relax in luxury”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2012

Marina Shores was more than we hoped for, quiet location, comfy beds, modern well equipped kitched, and personal BBQ on a large verandah. Staff are very accomodating, they even offer later check-out dependant upon availabily, suited us perfectly as we wanted to sleep in and spend some more time in the beautiful pool. Families are welcomed, and even though there were a few families there when we went, it was not noisy like some other places that I have visited. This hotel deserves their 5star rating....Loved our stay...

Room Tip: I believe all of these rooms would be acceptable, the ocean view is magnificent though!!!

“No need to think twice about staying here again.”

Couldn't have asked for more from handling of initial enquiry, reservation, apartment and location. Paying that bit more was so worth it.
