Idyllic stay.

Beautiful, relaxing idyllic stay. Food was good. Staff were lovely. Pool was nice. Loved the setting and nature. The hammocks were a nice touch. Lots of activities. Bush walks were fun. Bedding etc was very clean. Room 15 was very musty so had to keep aircon on at all times.
Elizabeth, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great resort on a quiet island with hike paths around it, many beautiful beaches where you can walk around alone. Restaurant of the hotel has the same menu everyday, so after a while you have tried everything. They do a great happy hour during sunset everyday!
José Antonio, 3-night trip

Resort looked tired… several maintenance issues such as A/C in room not functioning, pool lights cable tired or loose in pool, several tiles of pool missing, balcony railing of room loose/wood rotten.

The location was amazing with stunning views and amazing sunsets. The quiet pace was exactly what we wanted including the double hammock 😎
Rod, 7-night trip

Peaceful and quiet but wish we knew how remote it is and that there’s only one restaurant for the entire time we were there. The food was good but can only have it so many times!

Great staff very friendly and helpful. Resort is clean and tidy, can see that resort has suffered cyclone/weather damage so some things like tennis courts not used. Free snokals and kayaks/SUPs was great, great get away for couples.

Adrian, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Palm Bay is a secluded resort nestled in Long Island,,,in fact it’s the only resort that is habitable. There is an abandoned resort property on the island as well. Palm Bay cottages are lovely and very roomy. Beds are comfortable. The restaurant is good…it’s the only place to eat on the island. We didn’t appreciate that it wasn’t feasible to take a water taxi anywhere else (say Airlie Beach) to dine because the last water taxi coming back to the resort is around 4:45 pm from Shute Harbour, and the cost for a return fare on the water taxi is about $115 per person—-very pricey. Staff is friendly, kind and courteous. You’ll run into locals such as wallabies, curlews and cockatiels as you hike on a couple of the trails. The trails are rather rough and rocky—bring a walking stick and good walking shoes.
Rosa, 4-night trip
