The views are amazing. The rooms are outdated and a little ran down. They have a strict no BYOB rule but ran out of the beer I drink on day 1. Food is not great for the price. Customer service could be much better. Overall experience would be a 5/10

Belle escapade
Dépaysement total dans un contexte tropical, seule déception les jelly-fish dans la mer mais l’hôtel ne peut rien y faire et met à notre disposition des wetsuit. Personnel très attentionné, la nourriture et les cocktails sont délicieux

We stayed at the property for 3 nights and it was absolutely beautiful. We spent a lot of time at the pool, we went for a lovely bush walk, drinking cocktails, kayaking and wandering around. The food and drinks are top tier, absolutely amazing! It was so nice to switch off from reality and just enjoy each others company. I would definitely recommend this place to others. We loved it and can’t wait to go back one day.

Excellent Hideaway
Your own secluded island with great service great food and great pool. With a one bed room right on the beach this was the perfect getaway. Very laid back but with excellent service from the young team. Lovely pool and restaurant area in balinese style.

Beautiful view, nice and quiet, not much to do so 5 nights was maybe too long. Meals were a bit over priced i thought. Would've been good to have a toaster in room to be able to at least make own breakfast.

6/10 Good

The property itself was nice. The villa we stayed in (beachfront villa) was great but in the mornings we were woken by alot of noise from machinery unloading supplies etc. The food was terrible! We ended up only eating one meal a day as we couldnt stomach it anymore. We ordered the secluded picnic...it was not at all secluded, the staff members when finishing their shift were sitting with us and people were walking all around stopping to chat. This was not romantic. The following day the staff members not working were taking up all the chairs on the beach, were using all facilities and in the pool etc. They acted as though we were an inconvenience being there. Very unprofessional and quite unpleasant as this island has so much potential.

Such a special place living amongst nature. We saw whales, turtles out at front, curlews, humming birds and cockatoos in the gardens. So secluded you dont see more than 15 people anywhere. Quality of food is excellent and similarly priced compared to mainland.

10/10 Exceptional

We were so pleased that we chose Palm Bay for our recent Whitsunday Island Stay. Firstly the price was reasonable and comparable to accommodation prices on the mainland. Then it was very conveniently located, being a short boat ride from Shute Harbour. All our favourite activities were available including fishing, snorkeling, kayaking and hammocking! The small fridge and toaster in our bungalow meant we could prepare some snacks of our own as well as enjoy restaurant meals and poolside snacks. Overall, I would highly recommend Palm Island Resort, just don't tell too many people!
