Older unit, but furniture modern.
Pillows were terrible.
Roomy for 4 people.. kitchen had more then enough items for us.
Ants in sugar, should stick with individual packaging.
Air conditioning and fans worked well.
Bathroom was big but there was an odour. Shower head should be replaced as water went everwhere but your body.
Bedroom window wouldn't open .
Overall it was ok for 2 nights.

Staff at reception were very friendly.

The room was generous in size, with a large living area and wardrobe. Laundry machine and dryer were in the bathroom.
Reception was closed when we arrived at 1:30 PM on a Saturday. We never had contact with any staff whilst there.
The coffee shop onsite was closed in the evenings, and had no connection with the resort.
The bathroom was in need of cleaning- the grouting was dirty.
The washing machine was good, but no powder provided.

I had a really lovely stay at SBR. It’s a dated building, but has everything you need. The location is wonderful, just far enough out of town so that it’s quiet but close enough that it’s a pleasant walk with lovely views. Easy to access reef tours and jetskis and some restaurants.

Loved that there is a cafe, nice food to start the day. I had an ocean view room and got to watch the sunrise every day. I watched the sunset from the pool. I loved the plunge pools, could have spent all day and night in them!

Great location. Clean, spacious and quiet apartment.
I didn’t feel kitchen wasn’t fitted out to match the price paid - ie only two drinking glasses.
Adjoining Rainbow Cafe is recommended for breakfast with good service.
Tip - the marina view rooms may only be a small glimpse of the water, for better harbour views take the ocean view rooms which are the next row up the hill.
Suggestion - a full length mirror in the apartment would be useful & appreciated.

Apartment 32 had nice views to the port but the mattress was very soft and cheap and there were no laundry facilities as advertised. Lift was not working so hard to get to every level with heavy luggages or limited mobility. Old cheap sofa bed too not suitable for sleeping free of back pain. Loved the parking and cleaning of the apartment. Short on toilet paper, no speare bin bags provided but it has enough kitchenware for a few days stay. No room services to change wet towels or bedsheets in 4 days stay. No pool towels provided. 1 bathtowel 1 hand towel per person provided. 1 floor mat towel per apartment. Fan just works on the fastet setting, there low and medium setting doesnt work. Aircon works well. Comfy pillows.

Lovely location away from hustle and bustle but close enough to walk for drink, coffee, dinner etc. The pool area was nice.
Room was clean and pretty well equipped. The shower was quite mouldy and in need of an update however.

We had an elevated room with marina outlook but unfortunately looked over the roof of the main complex which is in a state of disrepair and was quite unsightly. Our fridge had no freezer but we were told a new one was in order.

All in all a great well priced resort and we would stay again.

Nice hotel - more for seniors than for families

Positive:
Very nice staff, lovely location and atmospheric Rainbow coffee shop, all very clean and nice view of the small marina. In pool some fun floating bean begs are provided. Parking handy behind units.

Negative:
A bit tired, bed was too hard for my taste and (this seems standard in Airlie Beach) only a sheet and woollen blanket was provided. Cooking is difficult as the fire alarms are sensitive, dishes have to be washed and rubbish taken out before leaving. Pool not really suitable for kids as very deep.

We absolutely loved the view from this property. The room itself was tired, dated and dirty; the dust under the beds and couch is terrible and the beds have long past their 10 year expiry. It is promoted as a resort however we were given 2 rolls of toilet paper between four people for 8 nights and our sheets were not changed during the stay. The cafe closes at 2.30pm and is closed on Mondays so there is no option for dinner at the property and nothing close by for take away. It is definitely not toddler friendly with a steep driveway and stairs to all rooms and the entry door to the room cannot be locked from the inside. Overall, it comes down to your expectations; if you’re after somewhere that takes your bags to your room, everything at your fingertips and no need to leave, keep looking. If you enjoy walking, the inconvenience of a kitchen and don’t mind a dated room, then this is a lovely budget short stay apartment property.

With this place listed as a resort, it felt more like short stay appartments.
The cafe that doubles as a bar is only open till 2pm so no chance of an afternoon cocktail by the pool. Rooms are very old and our room in particular had a very damp gross smell. Shower door would not slide closed, soap holder was falling off and just overall old.

Good location if you have a car to get around in. Around 15-20 walk into Airlie town and only 5 mins from the Marina.
Cafe upstairs does a great breakfast.
Pool is very nice at the end of a long day.
