Good location - close to everything and ample parking spaces. Also quiet position as property is away from central palm cove. Staff friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the property has had its day and we had expected more from ratings and advertised pics. Room was run down, bed was falling apart, couch and curtains were sticky and dirty, thick dust behind couch, tv units, coming out of air vents and lamps, carpet not vacuumed (ever?!) and stained. Constant damp smell, and cockroaches found in kitchen and coming out bathroom sinks every night. Common for this to occur in Northern Qld apparently for older properties?! Gardens are pretty, and pool is lovely- shame water was too cold to swim in. Hot tub was good temp and grounds were well maintained.

The location of the Drift Palm Cove has everything you need in easy walking distance. Size of the pool is great and there is also a decent size heated spa. I stayed in a two-bedroom apartment which was ample in size and had the bonus of direct access to the pool. Would stay at the Drift Palm Cove again.

It has adequate kitchen and laundry facilities. If you like a cooked breakfast and/or lunch then this is more than fine. Dinner?, well let me put it this way, simple meals are best. Anything Gourmet go out for dinner there are many very good restaurants in Palm Cove for you to savour. A large balcony gives glorious 180deg. views of the Coral Sea. Great Pool and Spa to luxuriate in. Everything considered The Drift has everything one would want for a very relaxing and sun-filled FNQ holiday and is a great place to call home for the duration. I recommend this apartment to everyone

Location is superb. Loved the pool area and hot tub. We had a ground floor room, which was great for easy access in and out of pool zone. Our apartment was a generous size and had everything we needed for a super comfortable stay. Reception were extremely helpful with our late-evening check-in, and very accommodating on our last day as we had a late flight out. We were invited to use the pool and shower facilities, and we were provided with towels for the day. Really, couldn't have asked for more.

Haven amongst the Palms.
Staying at drift for our 3 night holiday was wonderful. It’s close to the beach and cafes, It has a lovely pool & spa surrounded by luscious rain forest garden. The bed was comfortable & so was the room. The only complaint is that shower needs is a soap dish.

Great beachfront location within walking distance to lots of restaurants, while being opposite the beach. Our little fam had a blissful week’s stay here. Pool is huge and outdoor spa is nice too. All staff were friendly and helpful. The apartment was clean and a great layout. The second bedroom was close so ideal for our toddler to stay in. It is frosted second bedroom so not suitable for people who want a private second room, but perfect for families! Thank you for an amazing week :) x
