Magnums Hotel

I had an amazing time at Magnums! The live music created such a great vibe, and it really made the evening special. The drink selection was top-notch, offering a variety of options that catered to everyone's taste. The staff was fantastic—Billy, Harry, Richelle, and Charlotte were all super friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. It’s clear that they really care about providing a great experience. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to enjoy great music, drinks, and excellent service!

This is the most amazing venue in Airlie Beach for locals and visitors alike. For a tourist destination, they treat locals and visitors with the same friendliness and compassion. Dedicated to community causes makes it all the more special to frequent here. Robin, Becca, Carla, Irish, Carly and Dylan are the backbone of this venue along with all other staff. Thank you for all you do! Dog treats are amazeballs too!

WOW!! I had such a great time at Magnums! The live music was the perfect backdrop for a fun night out. The drinks selection was impressive, with something for everyone, and the staff really made the experience even better. Billy, Harry, Richelle, and Charlotte were all super welcoming and took great care of us. Their friendly service really stood out. If you're looking for a lively atmosphere, great tunes, and awesome service, Magnums is definitely the place to be!

Have been to Magnums at varies times of the day and always find it a great. Caters for all ages, young, old or in between! We experienced toad racing for the first time 🐸. The crowd loved it! Great atmosphere, good drink prices, friendly, helpful bar staff, especially Chelsea and Kiarna. Thank you for looking after us during our visit. These girls are amazing at their job, so helpful and friendly! Thanks for the limes!🍋‍🟩

To the ‘Mamas’ of Magnums - Tina and Karen. You both are SPECTACULAR. I was meant to write a review on new years but I forgot, these girls provided us such amazing service. Super super friendly and helpful, I made sure I got their names so I could leave a review! Thank you girls so much for making me and my friends laugh and chat with us on our nights out, we need more workers who are more verbose and less short. You gals made us feel so welcome to Airlie too as we have just moved up here from Brisbane.

A huge shoutout to Julies at 370 Shute Harbour Rd, Airlie Beach! 🌟 Their customer service was absolutely top-notch, and they truly went above and beyond to take care of us. We landed an amazing deal and had an unforgettable adventure! I can't recommend Julies enough! 🎉

Booked Magnums for the one night prior to going sailing and did the job! The check in staff (Jules) was lovely and welcoming. The process easy enough although I did get lost getting to my room as it's akin to wandering around a rain forrest - but this is more my lack of navigational skills than anything else (Id get lost in a cul de sac 😉). The room was huge and they had the a/c on so nice and cool post walking from the marina - and it was a pretty humid day! Check out was easy enough too (Jules again). Nice to get an engaged, curious person rather than going through a process. They have kitchens for the backpackers and little social areas - so it's probably a good way to mix n mingle too (if you so desire) Anyhoo- did the job and worth the stay! Of course, Zip is part of this review - no relevance at all- but Zippy Spam is a thing 😅

After reading the online reviews about how amazing the cocktails are at this place, I walked past all the other bars and ordered a gin-based cocktail. It was totally clear from the outset though, that the Gen Y bartender had no clue how to make it. He looked at the cocktail menu when I placed my order! After some fanciful cocktail shaker jiggling, he poured the drink through a strainer, but hadn't made enough! Without asking me if I minded, he swung round, grabbed a can of red bull and topped the glass up! He then took the mixing straw out of the glass, licked it, said 'yum!' and did a disappearing act before I could tell him I can't drink red bull (or any other energy drink for that matter) due to them giving me heart palpitations. There was no decoration on the glass-no fruit or flowers etc-not even a straw to gracefully sip through. Just a plain old glass with a cocktail cheaply topped off with a cheap drink, because he couldn't be bothered to mix another. Crap. Totally crap customer service. I felt really ripped off - especially given the price of the cocktail...

The 8 bed dorm is one of the worst pages you can ever stay. So messy. The bathrooms are dirty. When you shower it floods the whole bathroom getting the whole bathroom wet and nasty. There's bugs in the room, watch out for bed bugs. It's hot but they only turn on the AC two hours at a time. There are no locks in the room, this is terrible, someone could easily steal your belongings. I will never stay here again, this place is quite terrible. If you want to share a room with smelly backpackers, this is your place, but if you care about your health and hygiene, I would not recommend this place.

I was less than impressed with this place, having stopped here midday for a quick drink and to watch sport on their giant TV screen. They boast a large outdoor area for daytime fun while the indoor stage and multi level is sure to be a hit for late nights. If you want a dive bar with cheap beer, and I mean, cheap beer and zero cocktails, then stop here. It's a backpackers delight and frat boys dream. Otherwise, there are better, cleaner places to go along the boardwalk.

The drink specials here are just excellent, jugs start at $8-10 and cocktails at $5. Magnum's is most definitely the place to be for starting your night since a lot of people come through here for the affordable drinks. As far as atmosphere, it's mostly backpackers that are just coming through Airlie Beach and maybe a hint of locals in the area. There is a nightclub at Magnum's as well which is probably the biggest you'll find in the main town. I stayed in the hostel a few times also, an 8-share room gets you a basic room. I wish the rooms were a bit cleaner though and Magnum's is essentially a party hostel...but that's Airlie for you!

The Backpakers Hostel is cool, stayed there 3 nights. Good facilities, clean, great WiFi area, that lets you meet with fellow travellers, BUT beware of the bar! We saw one of the security guards (bald headed guy with dark beard) slip something in some girls drink! Seriously, would not drink anything at that bar anymore!

I stayed here several nights, in between I ve been to White Sunday Island. I had to put my luggages in the luggage room, so I went to the reception. The receptionist Mel served me after a long wait, I asked her to store my luggages, she told me to be back at 4 (8mins after). At 4 I was waiting again for paying 5$ and access this service. When she served me at 4.07 she told me I had to wait again until 5 as the luggage room opens for 1-2 mins only at certain times of the day only. When I told her I needed to go to my trip all she said was that she could refund me of my money. Like I should have put my luggages in a different hostel than the one I was staying in. Thankfully I haven't been waiting alone since other people aswell had the same treatment and risked to lose the white Sunday trip. An hostel is not supposed to be like Hilton hotel but common sense and logic would be appreciated.
