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. ##### Jennifer Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kaitlin Feb 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Beautiful place to stay. We loved it there! ##### Kaitlin Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Matthew Oct 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service NOTE: Palm Bay Resort would be ideal to stay at for limited stays. We did not know any better so booked an 8+ night stay so my review is based off this. The facilities were a little run down, tiles falling off the pool, areas missing off some of the roofs. Tv in main area slightly broken. Room was fairly clean, staff were lovely however a bit forgetful, not super proactive (apart from one amazing employee) view from room was incredible, spent hours upon hours reading with that view in the background. The beach itself was very rocky. Food was good, but menu limited. Again I need to stress, if this was all over a 3 or so night stay this would be 9/10. Also massively limited with supplies. Definitely need to do some supply shopping in Airlie or Hamilton before coming. So would definitely would go again but would definitely stay shorter. ##### Matthew Stayed 9 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emma Mar 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Amazing stay.

Only one issue was the water in my shower was Luke warm. Was reported but not corrected. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0eb4f13f-064c-4d61-b71b-7ebc61ae8542-1750471578275.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/40ae2fb6-ab9a-4a32-ab18-8cb3cd942410-1750471611771.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4e1efd9e-db58-4a5c-a9e3-ad917b1b959f-1750471611669.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b95a38b9-64b2-49ac-815d-bc3103ad5c05-1750471610507.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### TRACEY Lee Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### kevin Jan 19, 2025 A pleasant budget stay ##### kevin Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rosa Aug 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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 Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Octavian Nov 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great place ##### Octavian Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Doris Nov 25, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness Beautiful place to relax, with great food and great service. ##### Doris Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott Aug 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The resort was absolutely gorgeous, peaceful, staff were amazing and the food just fantastic! ##### Scott Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leigh Oct 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff were amazing and a beautiful quiet place to spend several nights ##### Leigh Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathrin Mar 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We spend wonderful, relaxing and quiet days in this very nice resort - our cosy little hous was directly at the beach with a stunning view.
