The reception team were amazing on arrival and later in the week after a incident causing my Dad to have a fall. 100%. My only negative is the general cleanliness of the rooms were fine, but the attention to detail is lacking. Not sure if this comes down to upper management not allocating appropriate time frames for more thorough cleaning. Skirting boards were thick with dust and doors. Light fittings needed a deep clean even in the penthouse suite about the sink in main bedroom. The sink plug in kitchen didn't seal. Cutting boards were in need of replacement. The painted handrail at the bottom of the stairs was really dirty not been wiped down between guests. All these minor details can make or break a review. Would I stay again Yes without elderly parents, as were were unaware of steep access to the property and if the attention to cleaning details and final touches were dramatically improved. A very big Thank You to the reception and maintenance team. Your support for my Dad was amazing. Joanne This review is for the Sebel only not advertising purposes.

Beautiful stay in Airlie Beach

Our family enjoyed our 3 night stay in a 2 bedroom ground floor apartment. It was clean, airy and bright, and had everything we needed including a kitchen and washing machine and dryer. Our room also had direct access to the heated pool. Upon booking, there was excellent communication provided by reception including quick confirmation of our stay, followed by informative messages regarding airport transfers, upgrades available and food options in Airlie Beach. Will return. Thank you.

We stayed at the Sebel and overall had a pleasant experience. Unfortunately, the lift was out of service on the day we arrived, and with no alternative access available, we had to carry all our luggage up the fire escape stairs, which was a bit of a challenge. That aside, the rest of our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The facilities were well-maintained, and the location was great.

Everything was good except that you would have to walk up a steep hill and a steep driveway with all your bags and luggages. The bed was great for good night sleeps, location is about 10min walk into town. View is beautiful. You'll you have to get your groceries from downtown and walk it back or take the bus back.

Staff were amazing. So friendly and accommodating. The only issue was a smell coming from drains on last day, but the cleaning staff dealt with it straight away. And also the driveway to get out was steep, makes it hard as tour/transfer buses cannot access. But would definitely stay again
