"The rooms were clean and ammenities made for a comfortable stay, best of all the bed and pillows were just right so I slept well every night of a 5 night stay - handy to the cafes, restaurants and the esplanade - good value for money."

Snorkel directly from the beach to discover vibrant coral gardens and sea turtles in Green Island's crystal-clear waters. Take the glass-bottom boat tour for a dry alternative or hike the short rainforest boardwalk where tropical birds nest above your head.
I highly recommend the Reef Palms Motel. I walked into the Studio and it took my breathe away. Everything appliance and implement was inside the Studio. Every comfort especially the bed. I wanted to move in to live . The Staff were personal and they became like family. Every effort was made to make my visit, happy, safe and free from worry. Can't wait to go back there again this year.
