"We had a great time: room was comfortable and clean, pool area is super nice, great location close to restaurants. Only issue was that we hired a baby cot, and we paid $10 per night for it and when we arrived the baby cot was not set up. We have to open it ourselves and figure out how to put it together, which was very disappointing."

"My partner (now fiancé!) and I had an excellent stay here. I rang in advance to organise a couple of things as a surprise as I was planning to propose to my partner during our stay in Palm Cove. Daniella was a star and helped out massively. Our room was beautiful, the rest of the staff were lovely, the included breakfast was really good and we had dinner in the Temple of Tastes restaurant one night which also really tasty. The hotel is in a great location in the beach town of palm cove: just out of the town enough that it feels secluded and peaceful but still walking distance to the Esplanade, bus and a number of restaurants, bars etc. You can walk right to the beach from the pool area of the hotel. We also had a great experience in the hotel’s Spa having massages."
