Location

Coral Sea Resort is situated in Airlie Beach, serving as the gateway to the Whitsunday Islands and the Great Barrier Reef. The hotel offers easy access to the main street of Airlie, where dining and activities are abundant. It is positioned right on the oceanfront, allowing guests to enjoy panoramic views from multiple angles.

Rooms

The hotel presents spacious accommodations, including the Ocean Deluxe Room with stunning views and modern amenities. Each Ocean King Room provides a cozy retreat designed for tranquility. Families can take advantage of the Verandah Twin, featuring two queen beds and an enclosed verandah for added privacy.

Dining

Coral Sea Pavilion offers an oceanfront dining experience, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a focus on local produce and coastal flavors. Guests can indulge in barista coffee and hot à la carte breakfast at an additional charge. The Pavilion is open daily, welcoming visitors and locals alike to enjoy meals against a beautiful backdrop.

Wellness

Drift Boutique Spa, located within Coral Sea Resort, provides a range of boutique spa treatments aimed at relaxation and rejuvenation. The spa boasts two dedicated treatment rooms designed for a serene experience. Guests can enjoy premium services, including massages and facials, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Whitsundays.

Events

Coral Sea Resort offers multiple venues for private celebrations, including The Jetty and The Beach & Lawn, both featuring oceanfront views.

“Here's my take: the oceanfront location truly defines this property, placing it as a premier gateway to the Whitsundays. Though some rooms show their age, the modern communal spaces and that view from the pool really impress. Its strengths lie in its waterfront access and event spaces, making it a solid choice for leisure or celebrations.”

Satisfactory Stay with Minor Issues

attentive staffpremium resortfirm bedsoft pillow

The staff was very attentive and professional. Every team member went the extra mile to. I stayed at an Ocean Beautiful Room. It was nice and spacious. The resort felt very premium.

The bed in my room was very firm. The pillows were unsatisfactory. They were very soft. I found it almost impossible to get a good night's sleep. The air conditioning was very poor as well.
