Hayman Island Golf Hotel

"This is one of the best places I have ever stayed at. The apartment was superb with a very large balcony offering excellent views of Airlie Beach and a hot tub with a view"

"I booked one night at Coral Sea Resort in Airlie Beach as a treat for my final evening, based on the excellent reviews and appealing photos. Unfortunately, the reality did not match expectations at all. While the common areas and pool are indeed beautiful, the rooms are extremely disappointing. They feel outdated, poorly maintained, and far below what you would expect from a 4-star property. The bathroom looks like it hasn’t been renovated in decades, the room itself is very basic and almost hostel-like, and even basic conveniences are missing — for example, there are no power sockets near the bed. The bed was also uncomfortable and the overall standard of the room felt neglected. The most unacceptable part, however, was the breakfast. We paid in advance for breakfast included, only to be told that any hot food (eggs, omelettes, etc.) would be charged extra. The buffet consisted mainly of cold items like yogurt, fruit, and some cold cuts — no eggs, no bacon, no hot options included. This is simply not acceptable for a hotel marketed as 4-star. A proper breakfast should at the very least include basic hot items. Overall, the hotel seems to rely heavily on misleading photos (some of which appear heavily edited or not representative of reality) and renovated common spaces, while the rooms are far below standard. Very disappointing experience — I would not stay here again."

"The hotel was in the perfect location. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend. Would definitely stay here again!"

"It was a quick stay just to getaway! Lounge chair was badly stained and outside deck looked like someone dropped a cup of coffee that splattered every where and wasn't cleaned up, apart from that, we loved the space and amentaties"

"I had a ocean view room with a generous size balcony , room was clean & Bathroom had a bathtub / spa. Check in was easy & Staff were friendly."

"Fabulous 4 night trip to Hayman. Just the most beautiful scenery and grounds and a very friendly staff. We enjoyed the excursions snorkeling and seeing Whitehaven Beach. We initially had a lagoon room which we didn’t love so we upgraded to a second floor room overlooking the pool. They were very accommodating. Used the gym and ate at all the restaurants. We also enjoyed the great acoustic guitar player each night. "

"All good"

"The resort is a great place to relax, amazing food and drinks. Staff need more attention to detail when asked a question. Overall rating 8 out of 10"

"Staff are awesome, amenities great although being eco friendly created a few minor issues with a spider wasp infestation around our cabin, property is beautiful and would benefit from an eco friendly playground such as a flying fox or jumping mat that can be removed or covered perhaps bike rental availability"
