Accommodation near Sandy Bay Beach

"Cozy, chill spot to watch spectacular sunsets in the pool. To get that view you’ve got to get up a very steep, short hill so plan accordingly. Rooms are basic but clean and comfortable. Owner is great and happy to book local activities. Good value for the area."

"The food was absolutely fantastic – 10/10! However, be prepared for the high cost. The accommodation was stunning, especially since we were upgraded to an ocean-view room, but unfortunately, the room itself was quite dated and not well-maintained. It was dusty, and the bathroom had visible black mold. We raised our concerns with reception, but the only response we received was a small room credit, which we appreciated. Overall, while the location and food were great, the condition of the room...

5/5 Excellent

"My wife & I escaped the rat race to spend 4 nights at Palm Bay Resort, Long Island to celebrate our upcoming 50th birthdays. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome by the staff. We were allocated a lovely Ocean View Bure overlooking the turquoise water in the bay. The food in the restaurant was incredible and we were amazed to hear that the Chefs are both very young…… I hope they keep them as they are immensely talented. Happy hour in the Sunset Bar every night was just wonderful with a good variety at very modest prices ($16 during happy hour). The staff were delightful and always up for a chat (Jade & Lacey were so good to us). Most importantly the Resort encouraged you to switch off from the outside world (no TV’s, no WiFi) & reconnect with loved ones…… so refreshing in this digital age! Overall, we can’t recommend this experience highly enough. We loved our time at Palm Bay Resort & have both hit 2025 refreshed & recharged."

4/5 Good

"The area is beautiful and the property have good potential to be excellent, but the place was not clean enough, the place smells when you arrive and a lot of messages no pleasant in the walls. When we tried to use the toast there was an electricity cut, was hard to find the switch. Most of utensils and furniture no the best quality, very restrictive with soap and a lot of little details that makes lost the potential of the place."

Breathtaking!

"An absolutely breathtaking property to spend our family holiday! The home itself is beautifully designed, the pool and bath add that special touch. The view is absolutely worth the travel out of airlie itself, we look forward to returning in the future. The hosts were wonderful and made our stay so simple, thank you! I would highly recommend staying here, everyone in the family loved it!"

5/5 Excellent

"Amazing property that is as good in reality as it looks, we could have stayed here much longer and I would definitely recommend or stay again. The property was huge, the private villa pool was lovely, we used the gym and bouldering wall as well as watching the sunset on the private beach. Communication is first class. The only consideration for anyone else is that you really need a car to stay here."
