📍 1 Howard St, Bowen

Ocean Breeze Units
6.4 (42 reviews)

Ocean Breeze Units ★★★

📍 5 Marshall Street, Queens Beach, Bowen

"Do not be tricked by the photos. This place should be condemned. It was appalling. The photos are false advertising. Payment was taken days before we left with no invoice. There was no reception or office to speak to. One air conditioner for three rooms, I could go on. I had to give a star to leave a review but if negative stars were an option it would be -5."

Whitsunday Sands Resort

Whitsunday Sands Resort ★★★

📍 2a Horseshoe Bay Rd, Bowen

"Excellent location and value for money. Wonderful staff who provide friendly service."

Merinda Village Hotel
6.6 (19 reviews)

Merinda Village Hotel ★★★

📍 13 Linley Street, Bowen

"This is a workers camp, not a motel. I stayed there for 4 nights. My room got serviced once in that 4 days. They made the bed but didn't do any cleaning. The restaurant is supposed to be open until 8pm. I went to have dinner one night at 7:20pm and was told that the kitchen had already closed. I had to travel all the way in to Bowen to get something to eat. I also had to leave my trip a day early due to flooding. I was told by the hotel manager when I had to leave a day early that I would get a refund. She asked for my account details, which I gave her at the time. On the day I would have checked out received a message through ******* saying I had to change my trip through them. I tried that but because the message came through after I would have checked out anyway I couldn't change my booking. That was in December 2024. I paid for my entire 5 day stay at the time I checked in. We are now half way through April 2025 and I'm still chasing them for a one night refund. Pathetic operations management. I have been told it is my fault and that they won't be responding to my emails anymore."

"Great spot so close to the beach, manager was so friendly and helpful Our room was comfortable and the beds was really nice. We would stay here again it was very quiet and a great spot. It was handy being able to use washing machine. We really enjoyed walking out of our room onto the sand"

Shell Motel (Pearly Shell Motel)
8.4 (11 reviews)

Shell Motel (Pearly Shell Motel) ★★★

📍 2 Don St, Bowen

"The room was clean and suitable for two people. The only issue with the room was we had to use our own batteries for the TV remote. As for the Motel itself, the parking design was not the best, and the only other available parking in the middle of the street"

Ocean Breeze Units ★★★
"Disgusting is an understatement. My room was filthy. Vomit on the toilet wall and ants all over it. A huge crack in the bathroom wall and paint peeling in shower. TV didn’t work Screen door didn’t lock The list goes on I wish I had read other reviews before booking I would never stay here again and do not recommend wasting your money here"

"Came to see Valerie sing which was fabulous, unfortunately the bar staff are well below par, need to put a smile on their faces & definitely need better training, my friend asked for a glass of Merlot (red wine) they brought out a bottle of bubbles !!! Then said they didn’t have Merlot , I wanted just a glass of bubbles but was told I HAD to buy a bottle. On a positive HAPPY HR IS GREAT 😊"
