We visited Magnetic for a 5 day rest break and to see the island. Island Palms was just right for us, even if the 2 bedrooms were a little more than we needed. The resort has easy beach access and a number of restaurants within walking distance. The management team knows the island and is willing to help with any... More

Just had another wonderful week at Island Palms. Accommodation is so clean,comfortable and a great location. Perfect to relax and chill out! I love watching the ferries come and go, from the patio. I will definitely be back. Thank you to John and Sheena for keeping Island Palms so welcoming! Lee Chambers

A very warm welcome awaits you at Island Palms. The warmest welcome - apart from the glorious sun at the end of a very long winter for us Sydney folk - came from Sheena and John who are the perfect hosts. We could kick ourselves for missing the informative Monday night drinks, nibbles and welcome party they host by the... More

I stayed here with a friend and loved it. The Resort apartments are constantly getting upgrades (eg. all bathrooms updated in the last year or so) and the rooms are immaculately clean so don't let the outside of the resort fool you, it may not be the newest resort on the island but it was a great place to stay....

Great location, beach across the road, supermarket and restaurents close. Mix up with booking a hire car-double booked, but hosts John and Sheena gave excellent customer service. They definately took that extra step and went beyond their expected duties. They arranged a weekly, meet the other guests afternoon, which was relaxing, friendly and enjoyable. John talked about various tourist attractions,... More

We stayed at Island Palms in May 2011 with our 2 children aged 6. The resort has a great pool, tennis and table tennis and a good location. Our only negative comment was that the rooms need a little updating, also everybody's smoke alarms kept going off, ours went off even when we weren't cooking anything and we heard others... More

Island Palms Resort, John and Sheena make timeshare well and truely worth it, with the resort rooms recently upgraded with new, quiet air-conditioners and upgraded bathrooms this second exchange visit was even better than our first stay 3 years ago . The resort location is ideal, close to Nelly Bay. It has a nice beach area straight across the road... More
