Mantra in Preston from AU$199

"Everyone so friendly and helpful. Just great all round. "

"Beautiful views, clean and lovely resort! Wish we could've stayed longer!"

"Wonderful place to stay, very friendly and attentive staff. Breakfast was excellent every morning, dinner menu was very good as well. I’d like to go back very soon ;) "

"We stayed at the Reef View and our room was good and the view was absolutely amazing. Room 1115. Weather was great and we are Definately coming back"

"Every thing was super."

"Palm Bay is a secluded resort nestled in Long Island,,,in fact it’s the only resort that is habitable. There is an abandoned resort property on the island as well. Palm Bay cottages are lovely and very roomy. Beds are comfortable. The restaurant is good…it’s the only place to eat on the island. We didn’t appreciate that it wasn’t feasible to take a water taxi anywhere else (say Airlie Beach) to dine because the last water taxi coming back to the resort is around 4:45 pm from Shute Harbour, and the cost for a return fare on the water taxi is about $115 per person—-very pricey. Staff is friendly, kind and courteous. You’ll run into locals such as wallabies, curlews and cockatiels as you hike on a couple of the trails. The trails are rather rough and rocky—bring a walking stick and good walking shoes."

"Modern, clean and excellent location. Would definitely stay again at the Heart Hotel and Gallery, Airlie Beach."

"Very accommodating. "

"Perfect location. Walking distance to the beach and cafes. "
