Almost perfect
The location here is incredible, with cute wallabies jumping around and friendly cockatoos, plus a number of seabirds. It reminded me of places I've stayed at in South East Asia, with the jungle feel, the palms and the beautiful greenery around clear (mostly) blue waters. It was great to be greeted (very White Lotus) on arrival and would have been nice to have a goodbye on departure too. The bar/restaurant staff were fantastic, couldn't do enough for you. A special mention is needed for the food, which was amazing. Their chef put some very interesting flavours together - top class. Unfortunately I didn't sleep well a couple of nights as I found myself catching and removing cockroaches from my bathroom. Maintenance were helpful, attempting to poison them, reception less so, providing me with a spray for flying insects, that did nothing to the roaches. I understand they turn up in tropical places and that they are hard to shift, but while I didn't mind no housekeeping for the 4 nts I think bins should be emptied every day, to avoid attracting them. The other negative was the noise of tractors and outdoor power tools at different times of day. Thus said, it's a beautiful place and I found it a wonderful place to chill.

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.

Idyllic stay.
Beautiful, relaxing idyllic stay. Food was good. Staff were lovely. Pool was nice. Loved the setting and nature. The hammocks were a nice touch. Lots of activities. Bush walks were fun. Bedding etc was very clean. Room 15 was very musty so had to keep aircon on at all times.

We really enjoyed our utterly relaxing stay. The staff were friendly, the bungalow was clean and comfortable with a lovely beach view from the balcony, and were surrounded by nature. We’d definitely come back.

Quiet island location close to the mainland. Small resort with great staff and food service from a great kitchen. Facilities are older but maintained in a casual lush tropical setting Good walking options to explore a bit if you like.
