A really peaceful and great experience! We had a really relaxing time despite being there during the tropical storm. The staff were all so nice and attentive. The food was decent, maybe a bit overpriced for what we get but still good!

My personal visit was not good. I felt like a they took advantage of being remote and there was no other choice but to buy things to eat or drink there for a unreasonable charge.There were bugs and huge spiders and dead roaches in my room. The whole place is outdated.

Palm Bay Resort, located in the stunning Whitsundays on Long Island, offers surreal views and a peaceful atmosphere. I recently spent 7 days there with my son and loved the convenient location, just a 15-minute water taxi ride from Airlie Beach. While the serene setting is perfect for relaxation, the lack of activities on the island made it less engaging for my active teenager. The food was excellent, but I was disappointed that housekeeping wasn’t done daily. This resort has great potential to become a top destination if the villas were refurbished and more activities were introduced to enhance the guest experience.
