Cid Island Holidays from AU$887

Amazing hotel - lovely room, incredible sea view and stunning pool with scenic views. Great location but prepare to hike up a steep hill after wondering around Airlie Beach - but it’s worth it!

The boathouses were clean and tidy. Staff very friendly. We only stayed one night. The swing seats on the deck next to the pool was a nice feature. The continental breakfast was really good. Small selection but well thought. The place is a bit tucked in with Northerlies just next door for food and drinks (pub style food). Things to be mindful of when booking *midgies in the evenings *Parking is open air and a little away from the accomodation (not right outside your door) *not flat - lots of steps

Our stay was just ok. The trash was still full and in the kitchen from the previous guest, there were dead roaches, there were dirty popsicle sticks by the pool. The coffee machine didn’t work either. A staff member did drop a different one by after I let them know. We also had the doorbell ring at 2am and wake everyone in the house… apparently this is common when the batteries run low? Seems like they should be routinely changed to prevent that from occurring. None of these issues are big, but combined are quite a few blunders considering we paid top dollar to stay here.

Palm Bay was a beautiful location to spend our honeymoon. Staff were very friendly, so many national park trails to walk, plenty of places to snorkel and high quality food from the restaurant. We loved going out on the supplied paddle boards to check out coral or watch the sunset. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a nice place to relax and be in nature!
