"Nice place to stay on the island, the downside is lack of air conditioning. Unless you plan on spending all day in the pool or your room then probably best to avoid this place in summer. I am a born and raised north qld local. I was dripping sweat in the main build watching the Australian open on the big screen and playing pool."

5/5 Excellent

"My wife & I escaped the rat race to spend 4 nights at Palm Bay Resort, Long Island to celebrate our upcoming 50th birthdays. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome by the staff. We were allocated a lovely Ocean View Bure overlooking the turquoise water in the bay. The food in the restaurant was incredible and we were amazed to hear that the Chefs are both very young…… I hope they keep them as they are immensely talented. Happy hour in the Sunset Bar every night was just wonderful with a good variety at very modest prices ($16 during happy hour). The staff were delightful and always up for a chat (Jade & Lacey were so good to us). Most importantly the Resort encouraged you to switch off from the outside world (no TV’s, no WiFi) & reconnect with loved ones…… so refreshing in this digital age! Overall, we can’t recommend this experience highly enough. We loved our time at Palm Bay Resort & have both hit 2025 refreshed & recharged."

"The area is beautiful and the property have good potential to be excellent, but the place was not clean enough, the place smells when you arrive and a lot of messages no pleasant in the walls. When we tried to use the toast there was an electricity cut, was hard to find the switch. Most of utensils and furniture no the best quality, very restrictive with soap and a lot of little details that makes lost the potential of the place."

Breathtaking!

"An absolutely breathtaking property to spend our family holiday! The home itself is beautifully designed, the pool and bath add that special touch. The view is absolutely worth the travel out of airlie itself, we look forward to returning in the future. The hosts were wonderful and made our stay so simple, thank you! I would highly recommend staying here, everyone in the family loved it!"

"Amazing property that is as good in reality as it looks, we could have stayed here much longer and I would definitely recommend or stay again. The property was huge, the private villa pool was lovely, we used the gym and bouldering wall as well as watching the sunset on the private beach. Communication is first class. The only consideration for anyone else is that you really need a car to stay here."

"Pros: Great apartment and apartment complex with great pool. Apartment is modern with a small balcony. Beautiful view over pool, garden and the sea. Cons: Mould in shower needs addressing. Wi Fi inconsistent, bad first night, good the next. Apartments not fully soundproof, would be a problem if you have loud, noisy people next to you or above you. "
