Such a tranquil beautiful resort in amongst stunning rainforest national parks. Island transfer options are limited and can add significant costs depending on mode of transport. No shops o n island so make sure to take adequate supplies of snacks etc with you.

I had a wonderful stay at Palm Beach resort. It is a beautiful location. I had a beach villa and it was clean and had a really comfy bed and a hammock on the deck. The staff were really friendly, helpful and welcoming and the food in the restaurant for dinner was great - the steak was fabulous and I had a special fish risotto which was lovely. The resort seemed slightly understaffed and so the beach sunset bar was not open in the evening but it was a mere 2 minutes walk to the main bar which was no hardship. A truly lovely and relaxing stay with no tvs and no children. All my stress disappeared. Good for the soul! Breakfast, lunch and dinner had to be paid for but you rarely needed all three. There was sea kayacking and a lovely swing by the sea. You can walk on the island on the trails but you do need footwear (not thong/jandles/flipflops) for that. If you are after a relaxing trip, this is the place for you and the pool was nice. A tip - You can get a transfer from Hamilton Island directly but it is much cheaper to get a boat to and from Shute Harbour as a different option if you fly into Proserpine. If you are looking for tons of activities this is not for you, if you are looking for a beautiful and simple place to relax, this is it.

Beautiful quite serene island away from the hustle and bustle of city. A bit of challenge to reach the place so one needs to do a bit of research to reach there. If possible avoid private transfers, its damm cosly. Overall its a fantastic place to stay.

Long Island is uninhabited apart from this resort and another the other side of the island. It is tree covered with a number of bush walks and lots of wildlife. There are no cars/vehicles on the island except for resort service vehicles. We loved our accommodation, a bungalow, right on the beach, Ours included a comfortable Queen size bed, a walk in dressing room, large shower room, a small kitchen area with a sink/draining board, microwave (no other cooking facilities), a small ish fridge, a kettle, a toaster, a crockery (enough for one each), a nice selection of teabags, a sachet of washing up liquid/jcloth, an ironing board, iron, safe, an en suite shower room. There is also a lovely wooden verandah with a small table and two chairs, plus a hammock…all just a metre from the beach shoreline. Fabulous views! There are plenty of quiet places to sit around the resort, to sunbathe, read a book, whether it’s by the fabulous tree surrounded pool, or on one of the swinging chairs or sunbeds dotted around, or overlooking the beach. There is no WiFi for guests on the resort and no TV. Mobile one coverage was good in the rooms but would advise ensuring data is topped up. We advise taking some provisions, though this resort does discourage BYO. You can buy a few bear essentials at the resort but these amount to toothpaste and sun cream type of items. It is fully licensed and has a main bar/restaurant and a Sunset Bar on the beach, which opens 4.30-6.30pm.

Expensive to get to if there is less than 4 of you. You have to charter an entire boat. But once you’re there it is lovely. The staff are very friendly and the food at the restaurant isn’t overpriced and it’s good quality.
