Excellent stay in a very well situated apartment by the beach.

Awesome property, great pool and a fairly well equipped gym. The apartment was good too

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.

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The shower over the bath was a bit dangerous & outdated.!!

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.

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.

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!

Great location and facilities in a perfect setting

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.

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.

Very good

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.

I saw this place on a previous visit to Palm Cove and was happy to be able to stay there for my next trip. The location is perfect. The staff was very helpful and welcoming. The facilities are awesome, especially the swimming pool, probably the best in Palm Cove, and when you are in such a warm location a great pool is a necessity!

There was a constant noise coming from the air conditioning area. Apparently, it is an exhaust that is on all the time, Staff called maintenance straight away and they disconnected it for the duration of my stay, From then on I slept like a log, I think the windows are double-glazed because it is really nice and quiet when you close them.

A pleasant stay, we extended our stay in Palm Cove and moved to an executive apartment, this was much nicer.

Great pool area and close to everything. 2 bedroom apartment suited our needs well.

cleaning of rooms needs some attention, glass doors between lounge/ bedroom area were covered in hand prints, shower screens were not very clean and microwave was dirty inside.

average in terms of apartment, great for pool & Palm cove itself

the pool area is amazing and location great

when you walk into the reception and foyer area it’s beautiful. you feel like it’s going to be top notch! however when getting to our 3 bedroom apartment we booked, it was hugely disappointing and didn’t look like the photos. we had a couch that looked filthy, although I was told they are working with owners to replace them, the outdoor furniture was a wooden bench seat with no cushions and when asking for some, I was told there are none. I pulled up the photo of the 3 bedroom we booked, with a lovely outlook of pool and outdoor comfy furniture but ours was vastly different. it also said 3 double beds but one room had 2 x single and they had to be pushed together by us to be able to open the doors and enter the room Palm cove itself is beautiful, the pool complex at The Drift is beautiful but the room 1202 we had was really disappointing. when asking for a blanket for our 3 year old we were also told the resort don’t have blankets and we also had no tea towels in the apartment, and had to ask for them twice. overall the staff were nice but also didn’t take ownership that the place rented was not like we booked, instead we were told because individually owned they have some owners who are good and some who don’t really care. the microwave was hard to open as had fallen back off bracket, just felt very run down. If looking for 3 bedroom then request that you don’t want 1202 I never do reviews on things but felt needed to with this
