- Barry (8/5): Good value Self- contained units Magnetic Island - Rob and Jen, are the owners/managers and they live on the premises so immediately available. There are 12 units, all fully self-contained but if you need something extra they are pleased to get it. There’s a pool but the beach is a short walk away. A bus stop is nearby. It’s a the quieter side of the island but a couple of restaurants and a pub are nearby.

- Verified traveler (10/5): - Helen was so helpful and gave us all the information we needed. The situation was quiet and the beach, museum and food places very close by.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very clean and comfortable rooms in a lovely location. Picnic Bay is a bit more quiet than other areas on the island but still has a beautiful beach, a pub, a wood fired pizza place and a café with the best food we had during our stay. As far as the staff go we wish we could give them a 6 out of 5 for their helpfulness (they'll pick you up and drop you off at the ferry) and friendliness. They even have 4 wheel drive hire and a very good rate.
- Russ (10/5): A weekend break - A well priced accommodation in a quiet bay on Magnetic Island. Easy access to beach, walking track, quality food and coffee. A place to relax.

- Verified traveler (10/5): - Liked everything. Outstanding place, friedly owners, highly recommended
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Great hospitality and super friendly. The internet/wifi was hit or miss. In the military and without wifi for 6 weeks, was really looking forward to some wifi, however, we would connect and then it'd kick us right back off. Overall super satisfied with Tropical Palms.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Quiet and comfortable with all needs in the room. Hospitality if owners very good

- Fiona (10/5): - Very relaxing and peaceful
- Bazil (10/5): - Really comfortable motel walking distance to everything Picnic Bay has to offer.
Hosts were excellent and made us very welcome - couldn't speak highly enough of them.
We are a married couple and spent 6 nights there and really enjoyed it.
Picnic Bay was a good place to make our base and explore from there.
We had native birds visit us at the Motel BBQ area with sulphur crested cockatoo, rainbow lorikeet and kookaburra. The cockatoo and lorikeet were quiet enough to hand feed at our table.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Over and above! - Owners made all the difference. They went over and above all our expectations. Property was well maintained and rooms really clean. Beach and Jetty was really close by (-100m). Fishing off jetty was very good. Will return next time I’m on Maggie Island. Thanks!!
- . (2/5): Would not stay here again . - Family group celebrating 50th birthday with age range 4-76. We were made to feel that we should be in bed by 7pm . The rubbish wasn’t collected over the 4 day stay. Staff were extremely rude and we and the rest of the group agreed we will never go there again .
- Leeanne (10/5): Fantastic hotel, clean rooms, friendly & helpful s - Had a fantastic stay. Owners Rob and Jen went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Will be back for sure.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - It was a short stay the accomadation met our needs it was priced well the owners were very friendly and helpful
- C H (10/5): Tropical delight - Friendly, helpful, clean and comfortable. We had a great time here and on the island.
- Kim (8/5): Nice homely hotel close to beach and bar. - Older style accommodation but very clean and comfortable.
Friendly and helpful staff. Lovely little outside garden with tables and chairs for use in the bbq area. Nice pool with excellent shade which was needed during our New Year visit.
We were in room 12 which is great because no-one passes your window at all to get to their rooms. The hotel is a very short 2 minute walk to the beach and pub. Public transport is very good too.
Accommodation is good value for money and I would recommend it to anyone.
- Lynn (10/5): Lovely hideaway - Very relaxing holiday .Everyone was pleasant and helpful ☺
- scott (10/5): Very helpful staff clean close to everything - Stayed 4 nights and it was perfect my daughter and I will be back for sure
- Phillip (10/5): Relaxing at Tropical Palms - Basic but good value and fully self contained. Close to Picnic Bay Beach Hotel and Jetty. Bus is cheap ,meets the Ferry and will stop at door if you have luggage. Magnetic Island is relaxed and very picturesque.

- Brampton Tragic (8/5): Great hide-a-way and value for money - Great little motel hidden away amongst the trees at Picnic Bay. Very quiet location close to transport, beach and hotel. Bush walking also close by. Car hire on site made everything so convenient and also with courtesy drop off to ferry terminal.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great Motel. - Owners very friendly and helpful. Close to hotel and restaurant. Close to bus route. Extremely clean, neat and tidy. Lovely bbq area and pool.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Clean, quiet and very friendly. - We are repeat customers as we like the cleanliness, comfort and welcoming atmosphere of Tropical Palms at Picnic Bay. The rooms have all you need for to cook a quick meal, there is a lovely big courtyard and pool with BBQ to enjoy and laundry facilities for guests. The owners are friendly and very accommodating. We always go back when having to stay on the island.
- Astrid (10/5): Relaxing - A lovely relaxing place
- Verified traveler (4/5): Dirty and Noisy Accommodation - Was extremely disappointed in the accommodation. The bed had stained linen which we had to wash and the stains came out. Rooms have been slightly renovated but very small. The rooms were not cleaned properly. There were cobwebs and dirt on the floor. Owners had family staying with several children and they were extremely loud and took over the pool and garden area every single day. We basically stayed in our rooms or went for drives to get some peace and quiet. My kids were annoyed as they wanted to go for a swim but the younger children there took over the pool. Will never stay at this accommodation ever again.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Excellent, affordable accommodation. - Great, clean self contained rooms that had a kitchenette stocked with cooking gear. The hotel pool and bbq area were nice and relaxing. Staff were accommodating of our need to check-in late and the hotel was located close to the Picnic Bay Esplanade. 4x4 were also available for hire on site, while we didn't end up hiring one the rates were competitive.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Nice place, close to the beach - I have stayed here a number of times and intend to return next year. Friendly staff and suit's my needs.
- Janet (8/5): Nice resort on quiet end of island. - BBQ's facilities are available for guests. Lovely gardens and rooms clean and comfortable.
Would recommend.
- Ros (8/5): Quiet and relaxing hotel - Close to Picnic Bay Hotel, fishing jetty and beach. Quiet and tranquil. Short walk to bus stop and hotel.
Clean and modern self contained facilities.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Beautiful stay - The hotel I'd close to a wonderful resturant and a beautiful beach. The owners were friendly and gave us lots of helpful advice on things to see and do on the island. We will defininately stay here again.
- Laraine (10/5): A great family gathering weekend. - We were a family of 6 adults & 2 children staying in 3 comfortable rooms near each other and found we could walk to activities on the beach front. We enjoyed sitting near the pool each night though our family from NSW were abit frightened by the Curloo calls until we explained & showed them the birds!
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice and close to beach - Relaxing and stress free enjoyed just hanging around and doing nothing
- Jennifer (10/5): Clean and Comfortable - Good Value - What a nice surprise! Good value for a clean, comfortable self contained room. Grounds are maintained and staff was very helpful. We will recommend to our friends
- Verified traveler (8/5): Close to beach - Restaurants and beach just around the corner didn't use kitchen facilities but looked adequate
- chris (8/5): Excellent value for money and great location - Very friendly people and good facilities
Fairly quiet location
Easy walk to a lovely beach and great pub right next door
