"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!"

"Hôtel de luxe méritant 6 étoiles! Accueil personnalisé à l’aéroport: serviettes fraîches, transport des valises. Établissement sans soucis: glaces à la piscine ( inclus), cocktail de bienvenue. Service aux chambres deux fois par jour. Piscine et plage privée mais seule la plage publique adjacente permet la baignade. Prévoir votre réservation de buggy à l’avance: nous n’avions pas fait de réservation et aucun buggy n’était disponible. Le gérant a réglé notre demande et nous avions un buggy quelques heures plus tard! Cet établissement est très attentionné pour ses clients et mérite un détour: une classe à part. Petit déjeuner inclus tout aussi parfait. Simplement wow …"

Location was good, being only a few minutes by buggy to the marina and to Catseye Beach. The pool looked good but we didn’t actually use it. Would definitely stay here again."
