Top Palm Bay Beach Hotel Reviews

Palm Bay Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic location, with beautiful bush walks to neighbouring bays and access to reefs by tour. Only one restaurant on site but the food was delicious and decent prices for an island resort. You are in the forest so you might encounter insects and small spiders in the room. Wallabies living in and around the resort, amazing to see!"

Daydream Island Resort

8/10 Good

"Nice 4 night stay. Room was comfortable-no tv reception but a good on demand movie selection for relaxing in the evening. Food was good -pizzas and the Christmas is July buffet especially. Breakfast by the reef each morning was enjoyable. We saw lots of wildlife -whales, dolphins and even a sea turtle. There were lots of kids (school holidays)."

Waves 2 - Ocean views with buggy

8/10 Good

"Hamilton Islamd was a dream, the buggy made getting about a breeze. The accommodation is great, spacious and we had a few lovely BBQs on the balcony, it is quite tired in places but was spotlessly clean, with enough dishwasher/laundry detergent to last our holiday and we loved our time there."

Elysian Luxury Eco Island Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"This resort is brilliant for relaxing. Only 20 adults on site at any time, which provides a great ambience and chilled vibe. The transfers are magical - we chose the helicopter in, and the boat out. The food was terrific and the accommodation very good with great views. The resort is highly recommended!"

Qualia

8/10 Good

"qualia is one of the most beautiful properties we have visited. The setting, architecture, views, and atmosphere truly feel special and uniquely Australian. Our arrival experience was excellent. Noemi provided a warm airport pickup, smooth check-in, and a thoughtful overview of the property and room. The accommodations themselves were stunning. We also had an incredible “Best of Both Worlds” tour with Pedro, who was engaging, knowledgeable, and passionate about the island. It was one of the highlights of the trip. The main challenge during the first 24 hours was inconsistency in service attentiveness. At times, particularly at the pool and during our first dinner at Long Pavilion, service felt less proactive than expected for a property at this level. Drink refills, reservation follow-up, and simple check-ins occasionally required prompting rather than feeling naturally anticipated. What truly elevated the experience was the response from leadership. Rebecca, the General Manager, was exceptional: thoughtful, responsive, attentive, and genuinely interested in feedback. Her professionalism and accountability significantly improved the remainder of our stay. Beach Club dinner was another standout, with warm staff, relaxed pacing, and beautifully prepared food and cocktails. Overall, qualia delivers an extraordinary setting and many memorable moments. While there were some early service inconsistencies, the property’s beauty, excursions, dining, and strong leadership respon"

Baybliss Luxury 1 Bedroom Apt

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful appt. The view over Shute Harbour from the Balcony was wonderful. The location of the property is quite remote about 20 mins from Airlie by public transport. We didn’t have a car so used the bus. The stop was about 10 min walk from appt. Buses ran on time and were extremely cheap. If you like peace and quiet and waking up to stunning views every morning then this property is for you. We loved it and would definitely return. We stayed in Unit 4. Thank you for a wonderful stay for which we have the fondest memories and of course photos. "
