Palm Bay was a beautiful location to spend our honeymoon. Staff were very friendly, so many national park trails to walk, plenty of places to snorkel and high quality food from the restaurant. We loved going out on the supplied paddle boards to check out coral or watch the sunset. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a nice place to relax and be in nature!

Beautiful place to just relax and enjoy nature all around you. The resort has wonderful facilities around the pool and next to the beach. The food and the restaurant were just excellent although at times they were a little short staffed in the dining area which was not ideal but overall we loved our 5 day stay

I loved my stay…it is a tropical paradise, I will miss waking up first thing sitting on my little balcony with my first coffee for the day and enjoying all the beautiful birdsong. watching gorgeous butterflies fluttering everywhere. Walking the trails. Dips in the sea and lazing around the pool. Cocktails on the beach watching the sun go down Peace and quiet was what I was looking for and I definitely found it here . I would love to stay another time in the future. Thank you Palm Bay for a great stay… Joy

This is the best place to relax and to recharge if you want to stay away from the crowds and noise .Place is outdated and bit dirty.but for a couple days of stay it’s fine .just enjoy the sunset and the view.Limited option for dining at the restaurant,disappointed with the prawns we ordered because it has a Big flies in the plate.maybe it wasn’t fresh anymore because the flies was frozen too .

Loved it here! So peaceful, beautiful and an amazing escape. Was a shame the jacuzzi section of the pool wasn’t heated as we were there in off season. Everything else was great! Well worth the price.

If you want to escape this is perfect spot. It is relaxed, unpretentious, friendly and a lovely setting. Evening entertainment will be a puzzle or a swing in your hammock rather than a cabaret.

Beautiful, peaceful resort. Pros: The little beach bungalows you stay in are just lovely. The sunsets are glorious, especially when watched from the Sunset Bar. There is plenty to do: You can swim, snorkel, bushwalk, paddle board, kayak, use the pool, have a spa treatment... Wildlife is everywhere which is a nice treat. The food in the restaurant is great. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Cons: You get eaten alive by sand flies, so make sure you invest in the insect repellent they sell there. It's not easy to get water either - they only sell small bottles, and they don't recommend drinking the tap water (it does smell a bit gross). I probably bought six of them a day. However, the staff will fill a jug of filtered water for you at the bar for you to take to your room if you ask.
