We loved our stay at Palm Bay Resort. If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing holiday that involves lazing by the pool or beach, sipping cocktails, this is the perfect spot. The resort only takes 60 guests at one time ( I am pretty sure there were only 20-30 during our stay) If you do happen to feel energetic and are looking for activities, there are a couple of walks you can do around the island. You’ll see butterflies the size of small birds, wallabies and bush turkeys. The resort also provide kayaks and stand up paddle boards for guests to use. The beach is very protected and safe to swim & snorkel & is a haven for sea turtles
There is also a small gym onsite. It is very basic. A little tired but usable.
This island resort is such a little gem in the Whitsundays. So if you are wanting peace and quiet and looking to avoid the crowds, it is definitely the spot to be
The only downfall we did notice, was that the resort is starting to look very tired and needs maintenance
The shingles missing off some of the roofing around the resort, Mould on the ceiling in the bathroom of the accomodation, ceiling fans not working etc
It would be a real shame to see this place slowly fall apart
There didn’t seem to be any one main person managing the resort. The staff consisted of young travellers from across the globe on working visas (that stay on for a few months, before moving onto their next destination)
They seemed to be running the show, ensuring the basic work was getting done.
