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 The rooms are outdated and a little ran down.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

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.

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.
