This resort is perfect for anyone looking for a peaceful retreat, surrounded by beautiful gardens and close to stunning beaches. The studio apartments are not only clean but also comfortable and well-equipped for self-catering. The hosts were exceptionally helpful and even went above and beyond to assist us during our stay. However, we didn't use the pool since the beach was so enticing, and the location is quite quiet, which might not suit everyone’s taste.

I had an amazing time staying at this resort! The rooms were comfortable and well-equipped, making my stay very enjoyable. The pool and BBQ area were highlights, providing great relaxation after exploring the local area. I appreciated the friendliness of the management and their willingness to help with everything from tours to restaurant recommendations. On the downside, the bathroom layout can be a little inconvenient due to its location backing onto the public walkway, and while the dining options are nice, I wish there were more variety.

My stay at Tropical Palms was truly a delight! The resort is nestled in beautiful tropical gardens, just a short walk from the beach and local amenities. The room was clean and well-equipped for self-catering, and the outdoor BBQ area was a great bonus for our group. Rob and Jen were incredibly hospitable, making our experience even better. While everything was fantastic, the pool is small, which might not suit larger groups looking for a swimming area. Overall, it was great value for a family getaway.

Tropical Palms Motel is a gem for anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and family-friendly stay on Magnetic Island. The owners, Rob and Jenny, offer exceptional service and are genuinely helpful in suggesting local attractions. The pool is fantastic for kids, and the close proximity to the beach makes it a perfect spot for a relaxing vacation. The only downside is that the dining options weren't emphasized, so plan accordingly if you prefer eating out.
