Top Sandy Beach Hotel Reviews

Whale Beach Secluded Self Contained Cottage, Spa and Fire Pit. Pet friendly.

10/10 Excellent

"I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Whale Beach cottage. It was tranquil, clean, stylish and welcoming. Lynne was communicative and supportive but at the same time I felt I was blissfully in my own space. I enjoyed the spa and fire pit and watching the sky through the trees. I feel renewed. Thank you Lynne!"

The Commodore Penthouse

10/10 Excellent

"We loved this accommodation. The view from the balcony and overall 'vibe' were superb. We would love to stay there again if we are ever lucky enough to be back in Palm Beach. Check in was easy and excellent communication from the management company at all times. There were a couple of minor 'tired' points in the appointment but they did not impact on us or spoil our stay. You could walk to the main town/beach. Its a bit of a hill on the way back if you have mobility issues but fine for us (aged 63 and 55). Car parking a plus!"

The Hideaway Beach House perched on the headland of Great Mackerel Beach

10/10 Excellent

"An incredible space to relax in but with plenty of activities nearby to fill your days. We loved the mini adventure to get our bags and goodies up to the Hideaway and were rewarded once settled in to peace, tranquility and stunning views. Can’t wait till our next visit."
