Top Pelican Island Hotel Reviews

Daydream Island Resort

8/10 Good

"Day dream island was beautiful and amazing rooms clean food delicious but very expensive and you sort of get sick of eating the same food staff where lovely but a language issue with staff that arnt 100 percent speaking English"

Seascape on Shutehaven

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay at this property. The pool is large and perfect for a family, with a great BBQ and seating area. The view from the upstairs windows is stunning and it would be great if the overgrown plants were cut back so you could have this view from the pool.The kitchen is large and has everything you need. There were just a few little things that could be improved, like a wardrobe or chest of drawers for clothes in the upstairs bedroom and the shower screens and windows haven’t been cleaned in a while. Overall, we had a good time away and will definitely visit Airlie Beach again."

'Vue de Bleu' Luxury Whitsunday Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing place, incredible view and lots of thoughtful touches around the place. The hosts were very responsive. It’s in a peaceful quiet location just 10 min out of the heart of airlie beach. Highly recommend, will certainly book this place again in the future. "

Shutehaven Beach House with Ocean Views.

10/10 Excellent

"The property has every amenity and is situated in a beautiful spot with amazing views. We came here to snorkel and were not disappointed. We hired a boat for day trips and cruised the islands, snorkeling on the many reefs. If we do it again we’d hire a skipper with local knowledge to save time. Eventually the weather closed in so we took a tour to Whitehaven and swam there and didn’t snorkel as there’s no reef. It was beautiful. We always wore stinger suits and didn’t have any issues. We would definitely stay in this property again. "
