Great holiday stay

We stayed for three days at Water’s Edge Resort. The apartment is spacious with a beautiful sea view. Simple decor, nice furnishings, well equipped kitchen. We felt the holiday mood the instant we stepped into the apartment!The undercover free parking was good. Three swimming pools look great but too cold for us to use them. Supermarket just across the road was very convenient. The only downside was poor WIFI .

The body wash was empty on my first day of the stay. Called the after hour service, the lady asked for my numbers and said she will need to see what she can do and give me a call back....never received a call back. The baby wash was refilled the second day but the overall service level was slow and sloppy. The overall cleanness is terrible, I had bed bugs bites and the window screen in the bathroom was covered with thick layer of dust, the corridor to my room was always wet and with visible rubbish. The mattress is extremely old, with noticable lumpy surfaces However the pools are pretty decent.

I was promised reimbursement for the taxi fare back to the airport because of a mistake made on the transfer companies end. I have emailed the resort 3 times over the last week and have yet to get any response. It is not the resorts fault that we didn’t get picked up for our scheduled pick up. However, the lady at the front desk is the one who told me to send her a receipt of cab fare to get reimbursed.

This is not a hotel, as per the Expedia info! It is an Apartment building. So no room servicing, unless staying a week. You do get your own washing machine and dryer - which was fantastic (if you’re ok doing your laundry on vacation!). We had to ask for detergent as this was not in our room. The apartment itself was great - everything you could want or need for a stay in Airlie Beach - even included a Nespresso machine! Just be aware of added extras - ie cost to rent beach towels - also not included, as expected if you book from Expedia! Please also be aware that the apartment hotel is on a very steep (but relatively short) incline - if you have mobility issues this might prove extremely difficult as no handrails are provided. Otherwise, access to town is a stones-throw away, Woolworths just across the street (use the delivery short-cut!), and the pools are great!
