“The beachfront location beside Airlie Beach Lagoon is undeniably a draw, and the self-contained units, complete with kitchens, offer flexibility; however, some upkeep is needed to match the prime setting. While ideally situated near dining and the reef's departure points, the lively nightlife scene might mean weekend noise. If a central spot outweighs the need for pristine facilities, this could be a reasonable option.”
