Great little hideaway. It's in a busy holiday park, but the Villa Bali where we stayed was great. Note, it's a spiral staircase to the upper floor. If you have mobility issues, this might not be the best fit. We didn't want to lug our suitcases up there, so they stayed on the ground floor. Not the best for manuvering, but it worked. The staff was great and the park was quiet after 10pm. Convient to the Marina 20 minute walk. You have to cross a busy road to get to the water, buts doable....

The moment we walked into our room at Whitsunday Apartments, the immediate focal point was the ocean view--and it was magnificent! Truly, the room and the view were even better than the advertised photos. The staff was always helpful, cheerful and gracious. It would have been the best vacation ever, except the weather wasn't cooperating and we didn't go snorkeling. This only means we will have to go back--poor us! Lol

The palm bungalows were absolutely great. We had a 5 year old and a 1 year old with us. The hotel staff provided us with a complimentary stroller, high chair, baby bed and anything else we needed. When we put them to bed, we would just sit outside in our bungalow own hammock and watch the sun go down until the kids went to sleep. It was a fabulous vacation and I would recommend anyone to stay there, especially those with kids who need the “extras”.
