Some basic foods like avocado, yogurt and cereals were not always available. Despite this, other guests enjoyed the nice food and meals, which included rotating pasta, fish and curry dishes. However, some guests recommended bringing your own booze and breakfast and lunch items to supplement the menu, which they described as practically a pub menu. To improve the meal options, guests suggested including some healthier options such as salads or burrito bowls.

The same young staff members are there from morning till night, ensuring a consistent level of service. The resort's restaurant is also highly praised for its great food and fabulous staff.

Wi-Fi

If you're looking to disconnect and truly escape the outside world, Palm Bay Resort is the perfect destination for you. Many guests appreciated the lack of Wi-Fi and TV in their rooms, allowing them to fully connect with nature and embrace the serene environment.

Guests had the opportunity to enjoy a lovely massage during their stay and had nothing but great things to say about the well-priced treatments.

Overall, the day spa at Palm Bay Resort is a top-notch destination perfect for a day of pampering and relaxation.

Pool

If you're looking for a great place to take a dip, the Palm Bay Resort has got you covered! With a large and well-laid-out pool area, you'll find plenty of space to relax in the sun or shade. And the pool itself is fantastic - guests have described it as incredible, beautiful and lovely. The perfect size, it's not too warm or too cold and there's even a jacuzzi to soak in. Plus, the outdoor pool offers amazing views of the water's edge bure and the sea beyond.

Of course with any popular pool, there are some downsides - some reviewers noted that the day visitors tend to take up all the day beds, leaving overnight guests with nothing. Additionally, some guests complained about the pool needing maintenance and that the resort lets boaties and their kids in to use the pool without paying to stay on the island. And while some guests loved the VERY salty resort pool, others found it almost unusable.

But despite these minor issues, most guests loved the Palm Bay Resort's pool area with its plentiful lounges, fresh sea water and available service all day. So if you're looking for a relaxing spot to soak up the sun, the Palm Bay pool just might be the perfect spot for you!

Tennis

The tennis court and free facilities were widely praised with guests having a great time playing on the court. However, some felt that the tennis court had seen better days and the balls were not of the highest quality. Nonetheless, the Sunset Bar and complimentary use of kayaks for snorkelling and tennis made for a fun and fulfilling stay at Palm Bay Resort.

Outdoor Pool

Palm Bay Resort boasts a wonderful outdoor pool that guests simply love. The pool is a great size and is surrounded by plenty of shade, making it a perfect spot to cool off on a hot day.
