Poor Accommodation - Palm Cove A Fantastic Place

Room - was poorly cleaned, beds badly prepared, queen size bed not even centred in the room so bedhead not lined up with uncomfortable bed/BASE, with very large sheets, no cover on doona only a loose sheet thrown over the top. inside window sills and door opening very dirty full of rubbish/dust, cupboards badly cleaned, rusted clothes horse, bad ironing board and iron not usable - full of dirty black substance, did not offer to replace even though they were asked. Front door we had to call for help three times as it could not be opened freely, fridge door broken so to open fridge one scratched his/her knuckles every time, sliding doors to patio needed to be forced to open and shut, under sink - cockroaches and they would travel to bench top-Customer support were told,nothing happened.Poor selection water drinking glasses very cheap hotch potch no two the same. we were ot interested in wine glasses. Sofas and dining chairs dirty and badly stained, springs/padding badly worn out and uncomfortable. Table tops all stained and worn out. Seriously this apartment is not anywhere near worth $520.00 per night compared with equally as good location a three bedroom beautiful pristine apt. my friends were staying-$530.00 per night it seems like an absolute total aberration & so unfai-we just wanted what we had used before pandemic in same property which was so well maintained two floors above this one.adding salt to injury staff were totally non caring as they looked into things with a supercilious smile on their faces most times we even had the gall to ask for 1 hour extension check out as our flight was mid afternoon-the answer was a flat NO - sort yourselves out is what she meant - left bags in an open room with absolutely NO SECURITY - what sort of Accommodation are these people running.

Cleanliness, Better furniture, Better Bed - we take a 2 bedroom apartment purely to have extra room and not because others stay. When room was serviced after 1 week it was a slap dash job - had asked for sheets to fit bed properly that went on deaf ears Iron delivered worse than one in room so did not accept it. Reasonable quality drinking glasses. We do not cook or heat up food so kitchen was not used but would not have done so as everything looked old and tired. Better caring staff - not with a silly grin on their faces and laughing behind our backs. We have travelled lots in Australia and overseas but this accommodation was at the low end of the scale.

Great apartment and had a great stay- the prices of dining in palm cove is exorbitant

Loved the location and the pool Beds were comfortable

Our apartment didn’t provide pool towels- only bath towels to take to the pool/beach A few things needed updating- the towel rack and toilet paper holder had fallen off the wall Rips in the outdoor lounge

Gteat pool, great location, short step to the beach and any problems ask for Fiona.

The first room we were shown into was below expectations. It was on road side, very unattractive view and smelt as though smokers had been there. We went and spoke to the wonderful Fiona and she immediately offered two alternatives. We ended up with a lovely view of pool area and were very happy. Fionna was outstandingly helpful and kind to us during our stay at Palm Cove -truly went above and beyond!

The decor of rooms is tired somewhat but loved having two double beds and two bathrooms with excellent hot water.

The corridors were extensive between buildings and were exceptionally cold - like stepping into a refrigerator. The fans in the bathrooms were not able to be turned off - they went continually, despite us turning off the air conditioning.

Disappointing and poor value for money

Location is good, that's about it.

The cupboards were mouldy and the whole apartment felt musty and with a fair bit of mildew. The furniture and fixtures (microwave) were old and rusty/peeling. It was quite disappointing given the expense of this property.

Exceptional

We were upgraded to a roomy older style apartment with a large balcony & view of the beachfront. It was very comfortable with a spacious lounge room, well equipped kitchen & a laundry with an extra toilet & hand basin. The bedroom opened out onto the large verandah which had a nice sofa, coffee table & dining table with four chairs at the other end. The pool was a huge,inviting lagoon style with tropical & local trees providing shade over the meandering deck. It had many private areas to relax in.

The shower over the bath was a bit dangerous & outdated.!!

An excellent location with a spacious pool.

I loved the forest setting. the most beautiful trees surrounding the whole property. the pool is large with lots of space for different families and travellers. good shallow option for younger kids and an excellent location so close to the main strip and beach for walks.

the room was a bit dark.

Nice place for a reasonable price in a good location.

Beautiful big pool and great location.

When we were there they were painting the deck around some of the pool and spa area which meant that the spa was closed. The spa was one of the reasons that we booked the place so we were a bit disappointed to not be able to use it but understand that maintenance does have to occur. Perhaps an email to guest staying at the point to let them know in advance.

friendly staff, clean facilities and great location

not much we didn’t like! only one comment would be since the apartments aren’t serviced, a rubbish collection would be amazing instead of lugging it down to the outside skips!

Would stay there again.

Location is excellent, as public transport is easy to catch into Cairns. Very large pool area so you feel as if nobody else around you. Carparking is great as allocated parking per unit.

Being on the 3rd floor it felt like a herd of elephants in the room above, annoying at times.
