Find the Cheap Mandalay Hotels

The rooms are amazing. The service from the staff was above and beyond, we had a very early start on Sunday and the open the kitchen early for us to enjoy a continental breakfast before our long day. We have 9 rooms and everyone slept very well. We will be staying here again next year. Thank you for a great weekend.

Easy checkin even after hours, and very responsive via email. The location is a bit past town but there is a nice store and cafe about a 1.5 km walk down a busy highway. We didn’t do the walk so I can’t vouch for shoulder/sidewalk etc. Tons of families, and many quite loud. Cockatoos and kookaburras everywhere, also loud but very fun. Nice greenery around the park. Local tours do pickup here. Office hours are pretty short and unreliable. Major drawback - there’s one bathroom building for everyone (besides en suite or cabins), which happens to be a fairly long walk from the grass sites. However it was rarely busy even at peak morning shower time. Just a 2.5-3 minute walk from the back of the park. The grass sites are basically the camper’s dog’s toilets and there are fleas or some other small biting bug infesting the grass. Bring repellent and cover yourself, or avoid the grassy sites. Not the fault of the property, just a note. If I had it to do over again we’d book an en suite campsite - more private, with toilets. Overall, okay but not great if you’re child free and looking for a chill quiet spot.

Best place by far and good prices! Clean peaceful, lovely showers and toilets. The kitchen area was buzzing every evening. The reception lady was so so helpful. This site is just a 15 min easy walk to the Whitsundays Cruise terminal which takes you on trips to the Great Barrier Reef and other islands. I can recommend the full day Barrier Reef trip. Also do the guided snorkel tour - it’s great if you aren’t a confident swimmer but also takes you out of the designated area so it’s wonderfully peaceful. We also indulged in the helicopter ride - I took a great video of the reef - truly amazing. Also the Whitehaven Island - stunningly beautiful particularly Tongue beach. All day, hot and tiring but worth it (I’m in my 60’s). Bus stop - walk a few yards keeping right as you leave the entrance. $2:50 into town - change given.

I stayed at Vista apartments for one week and it was very relaxing, pleasant stay. The staff, the ladies, Bebe and Robyn were very welcoming and very helpful with advice on where to get the best coffee or meal, places to visit, and very helpful with suggesting and arranging the tours. And available for a chat, which is great for solo travellers. Thank you, ladies! I stayed in one bedroom apartment that was very clean, bed linen changed midweek. Well equipped kitchenette so I could make meals when I felt like. Stunning views from balcony. Nothing beats the morning coffee on the balcony with the views of the harbor, the sea and islands on horizon. Bus stop next to the hotel if you don't feel like walking, however, it was only short walk to Port Airlie and about 10 -15 minutes to the main street, lagune and boardwalk. By the way, bus fare is 50 cents! There is free underground car park as well. So.if you want great accommodation at the very sensible price, go to the Vista! Oh, almost forgot. There is Thai restaurant at the hotel, that offers delicious dinners and I would highly recommend Zorro cafe at Port area, look up the photos to see why.

The rooms are suites, there are rooms and rooms, the rooms are spacious, the rooms are clean and comfortable, the rooms have microwaves and hot water bottles, but they are not cooked, and the balcony faces the beach. It is very convenient to have McDonald's, food market and supermarket for about 10 minutes on foot! The front desk service is super good, intimately introduce the places and supermarkets nearby to eat, you can report in the hotel or in the nearby local travel agency. Very satisfied, come back to this hotel absolutely!

We loved our stay at The Boathouse Apartments! The rooms were spacious and super clean with an amazing view over the marina. Staff were fantastic and couldn’t do enough to help. We loved the pool and tennis court and there’s a great coffee shop downstairs The location is one of the best in Airlie - an easy flat walk up to the Main Street, lagoon and cruise terminal. Everything we needed was close by. Will definitely stay here again.

Not far from the main street, there is a bus stop just outside the hotel. It is quite convenient for transportation, food and drink. It is very comfortable to take a slow walk in the wind after dinner in the evening. The sanitary conditions are acceptable. It looks like an ordinary apartment. The facilities are a bit old. , does not affect use, has a small balcony, wide view, clothes drying rack, microwave, refrigerator, dishes, cutlery, and you can stay there.

There is a very lively and popular pub downstairs from the hotel. However, the soundproofing in the room is OK, and it is not too noisy when the windows are closed. This time I booked a sea view room with a small balcony and a nice view. The room is equipped with special towels for swimming. If it rains, you can borrow an umbrella from the hotel front desk. The only regret is that there is no safe in the room.
