Ok so not really sure where to start with this 3 night accommodation stay
First lugging our bags up a step hill then up the steps to the first floor (thankfully we were not on the second or third floor) - (no lift to accommodate)
Entering our room our first thoughts were “oh it feels dirty and old” and our thoughts were not far from being wrong
Broken switches (surely unsafe) the switch for the fan was just a stick out the wall (no knob) making it hard to control
Second bedroom if that is what it is called (more a alcove with slated doors) has no window (not enticing to stay in) dark without a window for light and fresh air. Main bedroom was nice with sliding door onto the balcony
Bathroom/toilet - toilet constantly ran each time after flushing had to keep going back to hit the button again to stop that, no fan in the bathroom
Kitchen - microwave did not work at all
No salt/pepper which is always supplied in small packets, glasses had lipstick marks around the rim- good amount of cutlery and dishes though
Lounge - considering there are two single beds and one double (both comfy) there is one two seater couch and one cane chair. Clearly not ample enough for a 4 person room
Moving the couch out from the wall was a “disgusting moment” obviously under the couch had not been cleaned after many visits, there was food/dust/dirty sock which god knows how long had been there - not covid cleaned that’s for sure
Front pool nice clean
Back Pool - area needs a good weed very over grown not inviting at all
Only one pool light working after dark
Unfortunately I would not recommend shingley beach
For the price that is charged there are many newer, fresher, cleaner resorts to stay at - I wouldn’t call it a resort

The bathroom door itself was caked in grime and thick dust and there were cobwebs on the wall.
The ceiling fans had dust hanging off them. The window ledges were caked in dust and dirt. The balcony had obviously never been washed down. I could go on!
We stayed in apartment number 5. Glad I didn't have to spend too long it.
Don't waste your money on this place, they are ripping people off. More

Please keep in mind
If you want to go to the Islands with Whitsunday ferries the Ferry doesn’t depart from there, you need to drive to Port of Airlie with easy parking and its only a 5 min trip by car.

There are beautiful walk ways around the Shingley Resort.
We are planing another stay soon. More

The on-site Rainbow cafe is a fabulous place to have a drink, a coffee or a meal. It is open for breakfast and lunch.

Overall we had a great stay and we were blessed with fantastic weather the whole week despite venturing there in the wet season (March).

  This hotel has great facilities and is in a great location, the room was great and even before I arrived I was impressed with the service when I emailed them... read more to book an airport transfer. The staff were very friendly and helpful before I arrived and asked me to provide my flight details and how to get the key from the safe as I arrived after the office had closed.

The room was really nice and had a great view of the marina, the hotel is only a short walk from the centre of town and a quick walk to the marina and boathouse. Styaed here for 3 nights and the restaurant here offers a decent selection of food for breakfast.

The only thing that wasn't that great about the hotel was that the aircon wasn't working properly but the fan over the bed was good enough to cool the room down at night. More
