The amenities and the whole property was very well kept and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

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.

Great location

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.

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.

The second bedroom is very small.

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The shower over the bath was a bit dangerous & outdated.!!
3.9
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.

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.
3.9
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!
3.9
Very comfortable and well-appointed room with all the facilities we required. Great large pool and gym had what we needed. Great location and also enjoyed the spa
Pool could have been a little warmer just to take the edge off.
3.9
Location, gardens and pool
Apartment poorly equipped, not one power point in second bedroom which was tiny and cramped
3.9
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.
3.9
Great location, friendly staff, clean and tidy room with space for suitcases and lounging.
The corridor between our room and lift was about 15° too cold. Almost everyone on our floor developed a cold or flu and was sick due to the change in temperature to get outside.
