This aprtment is perfect, roomy and comfortable. The air-conditioning worked well, unfortunately it rained 3 days straight so we did not use pool.

This is a great hotel in a great location. It is a small, quaint town. We had a wonderful time in Palm Cove. The only downside was that the jacuzzi was warm, not hot. For some reason, the jacuzzi and pool attached to it were heated to the same temperature. The hotel is right on the beach and the views are spectacular. One small note is that a sign informs visitors that swimming is not allowed from November to May (jelly fish).

The location was perfect—right on the marina and close to all the activities around the reef and shopping plus parks and restaurants. The staff were amongst some of the friendliest and most helpful we’ve had on our travels!

Great room. Great location. Liked that a tiurist office was in front of the hotel. Typically book ourselves online but this was helpful to find the perfdct trip out to the reef. Highly recommend. The onky thing we didnt like was expecting to use the same bath towels for up to a week or pay $4 per person.

We stayed here overnight recently to attend a function in town. We were very surprised by how roomy and well set up the apartment was for the price. It would definitely suit a small family for an extended period of time as has fold out couch, full kitchen albeit small, large bathroom, washer and dryer, small balcony etc. Pool not flash but swimmable and great location, free secure parking. Would definitely recommend to travellers who are looking for location and comfort over flash setting. Value...
