The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Fantastic Family Pool

We had a great time enjoying the heated pool at The Sebel Whitsundays. My teenage son especially loved his evening swims after hours. The pool area was well-kept and offered a relaxing space for the whole family to unwind. It truly added to our wonderful holiday experience.

Comfortable and Spacious

Our two-bedroom apartment was perfectly appointed for our family stay. The spacious balcony provided stunning views of the Whitsunday Islands, and we found the king-sized beds incredibly comfortable for restful nights after our adventures. It was just what we needed for a family getaway.

Thoughtful Family Touches

The staff were very accommodating and made our children feel special during our stay. Upon check-in, they provided our kids with coloring materials, which made their experience even more enjoyable. These little touches really enhanced our family holiday.

The recommendations we received for dining options were excellent. Not only did we discover wonderful restaurants within walking distance, but the staff also provided detailed suggestions for where to find the best local cuisine. This extra service made meal planning easy and enjoyable.

I had a wonderful stay at the resort spa! The apartments were lovely and spotlessly clean, creating a modern and comfortable atmosphere. The location was perfect for me, just a short walk to the center of town without the noise of nightlife. The pool area was fantastic, with breathtaking views, but I did find the dining options could have been better. Overall, a great experience with some minor room for improvement.

My stay at this hotel was quite disappointing overall. The initial experience was marred by unpleasant staff interactions, including being yelled at for playing music on the balcony. While the pool and location offered a bit of redeeming value, I couldn't overlook the discomfort of the entire situation, particularly the problems with pest control.

I had high hopes for this resort, but it didn’t quite meet my expectations. The room was spacious with a lovely view, and I appreciated the comfy bed. Unfortunately, the cleanliness left much to be desired, with bugs and dust noticeable throughout my stay. The service varied; I encountered both helpful and less enthusiastic staff. While the pool was nice, the overall experience didn't feel like good value for money.
