“Airlie Beach Hotel puts you at the center of the action, right across from the beach and close to excursion points. I think the varied dining, including the award-winning Northerlies, and the gaming lounge add compelling reasons to stay. Still, some rooms seem to suffer from noise and cleanliness issues, which prospective guests should consider.”
