The Studio was spacious & ideal for a couple & very well equipped.WiFi excellent too.
Management is poor.Office locked & overdue return. Could not get reply or message bank for calls to either Reception or " after hours no. ".
Nice pool & outlook.

  Stayed here for four nights. Overall okay. Location is close to what we required. It’s quiet & great views over Coral Sea Marina. Staff friendly. Great bakery/cafe onsite.

As for those who have given a negative review about the cleanliness of the place I strongly disagree. There are a few chips in the tiles (from age) and water marks on the shower windows yes however you can see as well as smell upon entry that they have been thoroughly cleaned and cared for. Great work to those in charge of these rooms! Highly recommended! 5 out of 5! More

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

The Resort is nearly opposite Abel Marina with Restaurants, shops and cafes.

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).
