wonderful stay at this place. The moment I walked in, I was greeted by friendly receipt . The check-in was quick and easy. The room was clean and comfortable. The bed was soft, which allowed me to have a good rest. The facilities in the room were all in good condition. The service during my stay was excellent. The housekeeping was thorough every day. Whenever I had a request, the staff would respond promptly. I am very satisfied with this accommodation and would recommend it to others.

Fantastic motel and great for families/friend groups. We were a group of 8 staying in two family rooms, which was more than enough space. Pleasantly surprised about the ocean view from balcony, and staff were super accommodating. Would definitely recommend!

Deb was very welcoming and helpful at any time of my stay. The house is very confortable, the room is large, the bed is good, the private terrace very nice. The swimming pool, in the shade, is very very nice to refresh after a walk. I really liked the breakfast too.

Loved the area.

Loved the area. Felt a very secluded part of the island, so we just loved that. Beautiful right on the beachfront. No road in front, completely relaxing, felt very different than other parts of the island.

We did the Hawkins Bay walk very steep need good fitness but the view was very rewarding once you reached the top. The Jetty is great both day and the lights are lovely at night time. We ate at the R & R hotel great meals beautiful fish tank and the service was great too. Also you must visit the Museum.

Picnic Bay is very quiet and peaceful.

Picnic Bay is very quiet and peaceful. The jetty was busy with fishermen on the weekend but quiet otherwise. Not many food options and very few shops. I’m glad we had our car to travel over to other areas.

Room was lovely, very tropical and we had the pool just outside the door. Room had everything we needed. Bed was comfortable, bathroom was great, everything you required for either a 1 night stay or longer. Had an outdoor area if you wanted to sit outside. You can walk to beach and eateries which was great. Not far to drive to the other Bays - Nelly Bay and Horseshoe Bay. Would definitely stay in Tropical Palms - Picnic Bay again. Thanks again Jen & Rob for your hospitality.
