Tropical Palms Resort & 4WD Hire

Had a lovely stay at the Tropical Palms. Great hospitality and fantastic service. Nice pool and BBQ area. The rooms were clean and the kitchen was well equipped. Good value for money. I would love to come back and would recommend Tropical Palms to everyone traveling to Magnetic Island.

Great stay, well equipped, comfy & clean rooms. Lovely location in Picnic bay near the beach & food options. Wonderful hosts, full of advice & genuinely invested in making our stay great. Drop off & pick up from the ferry was brilliant & car hire included in the package was ideal. Will definitely be returning!

Spacious, quiet and clean rooms right next to the beach (with stinger nets so you can swim without worries) and some good restaurants / coffee places. The hosts are amazing and really made our stay. We were picked up and dropped off from the ferry and received lots of good recommendations. We booked a package with 4WD drive rental with them that was offered by Sealink (ferry operator), and included ferry transport as well.

Tropical Palms is an idyllic accommodation choice set in Picnic Bay, Magnetic Island. Picnic is quieter than the other bays, but also has the beach and hotel and dining choices just two minutes down the road. I have stayed at Palms a number of times, and our hosts Rob and Jen are lovely people who provided just the right level of helpfulness. The room, and indeed the resort itself, was spotless and with timeless tropical-themed decor and a coastal vibe. We had all the amenities needed for a self-sufficient stay: cooktop, microwave, sink, large fridge and kitchen utensils. We were in room number seven, which had a table in the courtyard at the back, as well as one inside. We were directly opposite the pool and, as we went early in the week when visitor numbers are fewer, I believe I was the only one using the pool over the three nights we were there. Getting a queen bed room with a couch was also a great idea as it gives a lovely lolling around alternative to the bed. For a hotel room there were plenty of place to perch.

We had one night on Magnetic Island and wanted to see as much as possible in the time available. All the facilities you get at a fancy hotel would be wasted so we chose something basic, clean and comfortable instead - Tropical Palms fit the bill perfectly.||Staff were wonderful, really friendly and accommodating. The apartment had the things we needed, comfy bed, air-con, a fridge and basic kitchenette. The decor is a little tired but for the price we paid we didn't expect more than we got.

Jen and Rob were such lovely hosts! They made us feel so welcome, and were so helpful with anything and everything. The location is great - we can’t wait to go back.

We arrived while the office was closed already, they left us instructions, perfect start! The location is great, nice sunset at the jetty. Big room, comfortable beds, good shower and AC. The owner has a lot of recommendations around the island and mainland as well. Thank you for our pleasant stay!

Lovely apartment in a great location in Picnic Bay. Spotlessly clean and a good base for exploring the area. Close to the esplanade with the brewery and cafes in easy walking distance. |Easy to check in and the staff are very friendly and helpful.
