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

  My stay of 11 nights was fantastic! The ocean view studio was spacious, well appointed, clean with a fantastic view of the Coral Sea - just perfect with 2... read more pools to choose from and The Rainbow Cafe on site, it was tempting not to go out! With friendly and phenomenal service from the staff always with a smile to look after your needs and organise everything from car hire to day trips to the Reef made Shingley Beach Resort an easy way to holiday. A leisurely 15 minute walk into Airlie Beach via the boardwalk is close enough to be enjoyable with so much to see along the way. Definitely a slice of paradise to return to again. More

  This is the perfect setting overlooking the Marina. Unfortunately, the room we stayed in required quite a lot of attention. It really required a good scrub especially the... read more bathroom. I had to reclean the toilet but the shower screen just needed replacing. I also had to rewash all the cutlery and crockery. If you are happy to reclean a quiet and pretty place to stay.

  What a fantastic little place to stay. Quiet and conveniently located. Fantastic rate! We stayed for 12 nights with 6 adults, 1 teenager and a child. Not cramped at all.... read more Loads of space, very comfortable. 2 fantastic pools. Ally the manager is absolutely outstanding!! Amazing, friendly and very helpful. She knew all the best places to go and had great prices for activities. Ate at the cafe onsite 3xs. Their breakfasts, eggs Benny, pancakes and caramel lattes are to die for! Will stay again!

  For what we paid per night, Shingley Beach Resort provided an acceptable standard of accommodation. We enjoyed the peace and quiet of the area at night and the views of... read more the marina from our balcony were lovely. Only minor issue we had was the parking, the garage we were assigned was too difficult to get into with our wagon so we had to use the visitor parks, which a lot of others did also, at times we were unable to park up top near our room. Small cars would have no issues. Aside from that we had no problems, two pools to choose from, an amazing cafe downstairs with delicious coffee and homemade croissants and a handy kitchenette with washing machine and dryer in our room. I had read reviews mentioning the stairs and its true, we did encounter many during our stay but it probably did us some good. More

Thanks team SBR for your hospitality & welcoming attitude. Looking forward to seeing you again soon.

  We stayed at Shingley Beach in September. Our apartment overlooked the marina which provided a perfect vista for relaxing. Shingley Beach is situated away from the Hub Bub of Airlie... read more life but is only a short walk along the oceanside boardwalk to the restaurants and bars. Perfect

  We stayed in room 16 which is a 1 brm pool view room.
You can’t actually see the pool due to the walkway but it’s right next to it and... read more we loved the location. You can look out through the frees to the marina.

The resort is a bit Spanish mission style - probably a bit outdated with its 90’s style terracotta rules and timber laminate cabinetry but it still looks good and is well maintained.
We had come from a 5n stay at Marina Shores and although Shingley Beach Resort doesn’t feel as modern I liked it more.
The rooms are well kept and clean, at check in our shower screen was broken and they were going to put us in a different room but I wanted to be near the pool so they replaced the screen with a curtain (temporarily) which I did not mind at all.

The bedroom is separated from the living room by double louvered doors which do nothing to block any noise from the open plan lounge/kitchen which is a bit annoying as I wanted to go to sleep whilst hubby wanted to watch TV (there is no win win here)

The kitchen had a mini fridge, an electric 2 burner cooktop and a microwave. Bathroom had a large walk in shower plus the laundry facilities (which we didn’t use).
It’s pleasant - dated but well maintained.
Downside is that the apartment is poorly ventilated and by the look of multiple signs cooking in the apartment can cause the smoke alarms to go off - signs suggest using the range hood (our apt did not have one) closing off the bedroom and ensuring windows and doors remained open - problem was our one door and window were both at the entry so we couldn’t get cross ventilation, out of fear I kept taking the fry pan outside to reduce the fumes as I cooked bacon and omelettes, out of fear of setting off the alarms - which I don’t believe would have been my fault yet the signage indicates I would have been at fault and fined accordingly.
Overall a very easy stay - we are returning late January for a further 9 nights and I hope the same service and experience awaits 🙂
