Palm Bay Resort

位於長島上的resort，環境好，很幽靜浪漫，島上衹有不到20個小木屋，提供免費水上活動，包括kayak，snorkel dive，swimming pool。 交通需要乘坐water taxi前往，從漢彌爾頓島過去衹有一家提供快艇服務，價錢貴，但時間相對可控。從airlie灘過去，可以乘坐水上shuttle，時間固定，價錢先對便宜。 酒店衞生還行，但由於完全依賴於島上的生態環境，相對不夠現代，設施較為基礎，沒有熱水和wifi

Una experiencia fantástica, es el paraíso, ninguna otra isla de whitesunday ofrece ese tipo de cañas ni tranquilidad, volveríamos sin duda, lo malo que al ser una isla tan aislada la comunicación es más limitada pero aún así súper bien, el servicio muy amable y a destacar de 10 las comidas.

We made reservations on the 18th of August for 4th to 8th of October and they cancelled my booking one week before my flight. How pathetic and the reason is we are overbooked sorry. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

We spent 5 days at Palm Bay. It was really lovely! We had welcome drinks on arrival, and our bags were taken up to our room for us. A real white lotus moment as we arrived by boat to the island! We stayed in the hibiscus suite which was authentically decorated and had the most amazing views. The beds were lovely and comfy and it was clean with good air con. The island itself is so secluded so a 5 day escape was just enough. We filled it by relaxing, having drinks by the pool and the sunset bar which was just outstanding of an evening to watch the sun go down. The resort had kayaking for free which was a lovely touch. Were from the U.K. so not sure what Australian holidays are like, but September weather was cloudy with bouts of hot sunshine and hot weather which was just perfect as it seemed quiet time of year. We took a day trip with the paradise explorer which could be booked directly with the hotel. Would definitely recommend! Staff were lovely and friendly. Only thing I think could be improved would be the food and a few more bits and pieces in the shop. The food was clearly all so fresh but I think as the it’s the only available restaurant on the island, improvement in the quality and cooking would make this resort a place of perfection.

The island resort offered tranquillity and comfort. It’s the perfect romantic destination. My wife and I were married on Long Island 20 years ago and returned to renew our vows. This is our first time at this resort and we loved it. The views were spectacular, the accommodation was great. Bed comfortable. The staff couldn’t be more accommodating. The food was delicious. However a change of menu from time to time would be nice. Happy hour cocktails on the sunset deck was perfect but a change of cocktails every couple of days would be nice. The resort WILL RELAX you, there’s no TV which at first shocked me but we loved it in the end. Enjoy the island you need it. The transfer from Shute Harbour from Phil Island transfers was great, recommend Heart of the Reef airport transfers as they collect you from Shute Harbour and the others didn’t. Unless you pay highly for it. Thank you to Mercedes, Joanne, Jamie and the rest of the team. We will return for sure.

What an absolute beautiful location palm bay resort is located on palm island. I didn't want to leave. We booked 4 nights in a beachfront bure. Upon arrival we we're greater by Kate with a nice welcome drink. Accomdation: The room was nice and well presented and the hammock on the deck was great. In relation to cleanliness of the room I did notice the aircon filters were dusty with some mould and also the bathroom exhaust was dusty and some mould to the grout and silicone in the shower. As we were staying 4 nights we could have used a bit more toilet paper and also shampoo and toiletries but we luckily brought our own. The small kitchen only had a kettle and bar fridge a microwave would have been great as sometimes I didn't finish my lunch so a microwave would be great. Another thing we would have been a nice touch was maybe some chocolates or a bottle on wine as we this was our honeymoon as we received similar things like a note and a small gift on birthdays or anniversary trips when we been to other places. Location: The location was breathtaking, I loved the swings in the water the beautiful swings around the property the maintained gardens the beautiful birds and butterflies. Facilities and water sports: The pool and restaurant area was clean and well presented. The spa was not really hot Inwas expecting a hot spa so not sure if the temperature can go up as to me it was just a pool with bubbles. In relation to the free watersports we spent majority of our time swimming in the bay and also kayaking. Sometimes there was a wait on kayaks as I only counted two blue singles and one gree double and about 3 stand up boards so you may need to invest in some more during peek season. Snorkeling gear was good that it was free to use but unfortunately we didn't see anything but did see some turtles and a dolphin while kayaking. Staff: Staff were lovely a very special mention to Adam. He was such a character and was so lovely and a positive energy and great to have a chat to. He looked after us. Food: The food was tasty and great but this was only my real negative feedback was the ridiculous prices. Luckily we got free breakfast as $14 for three small slices of toast or $14 for a piece of banana bread was ridiculoubut then you get a big breakfast for like $30-$35 and the serving size was huge. I don't eat much so I wanted something small but the cost for something small was huge. Maybe a buffet breakfast is better rather than a select menu as I didn't see many options maybe pancakes would be good to add. Lunch selection was great plenty to choose from good serving sizes and the cost wasn't to bad but to add Chicken to a salad was like $10-15 extra and to add salad and chips to popcorn chicken was the same and when the meal already like $25-30'its alot to add on chicken. Dinner was a disappointment. Its a whole lot of seafood and for a couple who don't eat seafood we didn't have much to choose from. Chicken parmigiana was huge size so due t

Stayed here with my husband, my best friend and her husband after her wedding. The stay was perfect and the rooms are beautifully located on the beach. The rooms are comfortable and clean with nice beds and a wonderful shower. The resturant food is was fantastic and well worth the price. And in the early mornings we saw whales, turtles and wallabys What made the stay a 5/5 was the kind and helpful staff. I had plenty of questions and requests leading up to the stay and they managed to fix it all! I really wanted my friend to have a perfect trip and she surely did. Would absolutely recommend this resort!!

A few words come to mind, Paradise, magical. Staff are fantastic. Food is delicious with huge portions. We stayed in hibiscus room. The views are amazing, but if you have problems walking then it can be a bit of a challenge to get to the room. You soon forget the chalenge when you open the doors to the room. We had cockatoos visiting us every morning. A suggestion i'd like to make to management is binoculars in the hibiscus rooms would be amazing, to help viewing the whales during whale season. We were lucky to get to see some whales when we were there. The room comes with a fridge which is great. We requested a microwave and staff organised a microwave for us. Again staff are helpfull and are lovely to talk to. Also a shout out to island transfers watertaxi from Shute harbour to Palm bay resort. Phil and his team are amazing. Loved our stay and defenitely will come back one day.

We stayed for 3 amazing nights in October 2023. I have just come back to the website to look at booking again. After seeing some of the negative reviews I felt I had to post our review from October. We had the most amazing time. Our Bungalow was so clean , fresh, spacious and quiet. The food was amazing and the staff were super friendly. I know people are entitled to their opinion, but please don’t be put off by the very few negative reviews. Prices were very comparable and having the solitude from the outside world was just what we wanted and needed. We have recommended Palm Bay to many friends and will definitely be returning. Taking the boat over and back was very easy and not expensive. Just make sure you don’t waste one of your days waiting for the afternoon boat. We stayed the night before in Airlie Beach so we could catch the morning boat and spend the whole day on the island. This is a fantastic, special island to have a mini or week long holiday. We loved it.
