We were upgraded the first night to a harbour room. Was wonderful. They stored our luggage when we took a 4 day scuba boat and had it ready for us in the next room when we returned. Great location for the harbour. We ate at the restaurant and it was surprisingly wonderful. Coffee in the morning for take out was delicious

Our stay at this hotel was absolutely wonderful! The room was spacious, beautifully designed, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. Every detail was thoughtfully considered—there was a coffee machine, elegant cups, and wine glasses. The cleanliness was impeccable, and the view from the balcony was simply breathtaking. The rooms are also soundproof, ensuring a peaceful and relaxing stay. The hotel itself is stunning, with a luxurious and inviting atmosphere. Although we didn’t use the pool or try the breakfast, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Highly recommend this exceptional property. The Manager, Brian works hard to ensure the grounds & facilities are clean, maintained & in pristine condition. Blue Lagoon is an excellent location, with convenient parking, a short walk to Trinity Beach & a selection of restaurants. The staff are professional, helpful & kind, especially John, Joleen & Stacey. The pool is very clean with a view of the Lagoon. Loved my experience here & recommend Canadians spend your money here not Florida. The Aussies are wonderful, share our Values & appreciate you more than Florida! Carol Murphy, Canada 🇨🇦

We enjoyed the swimming pool. The air conditioning in the room worked well. The location was OK - only about a 3 block walk to the waterfront. At sunset we could watch the flying foxes going by. We originally booked for two nights and then decided to stay for five. We couldn't extend the original booking on booking.com, so we made a separate one for the additional 3. The hotel was able to amalgamate the two bookings so that we could have the same room for all five nights. And we ended up with a big room with a full size fridge.

Staff were super friendly and very helpful - they helped me book tours, arranged taxis, provided great tips on where to eat. I can't say enough good things about them. Hotel was in good location - could walk everywhere, shopping and grocery stores were close by. Enjoyed having coffee in the morning on the balcony, overlooking the mountains. Would stay there again.

We travelled to Cairns in October for a week, weather was perfect! Around 32 degrees every day. Not too crowded and yet everything was available for us to enjoy. Very relaxing, laid back environment, we particularly enjoyed the Esplanade and the lagoon area - we walked there every day. We loved all the gardens and beautifully kept foliage. The markets were fun to explore and travelling around by bus is super easy. Thank you Cairns for a truly wonderful break from our busy lives!

We loved our time at Palm Cove

We loved our time at Palm Cove Hired a Car to get around, tho there are buses, that come quite frequently or grab an Uber Handy Supermarket, Bakery, Butcher, Chemist etc, at Clifton Beach, 10 Minutes from Palm Cove. So many great places to eat, along the strip. For a quick Pub style meal, you can't go past, the Surf Club Elgreko (Greek) was absolutely, delicious - however it is uptairs, so if mobility is a problem, perhaps, not for you Got a delicious Pizza from Rummble & Hum Lovely meal at Peppers Drove down to Yorkey's Knob, Boat Club, for lunch, about 25 Minutes from Palm Cove

hotel was right on the beach so excellent for sunrise and sunset photos. beach is picturesque with a nice lookout at one end. close to restaurants, quick drive to a supermarket. phone reception was patchy on beach front but fine around the corner. room has only a bar fridge not full size. off road parking can be tight if you are last one's home.

The beautiful breeze was lovely whenever I sat on a comfortable seat on the grass near the beach... We thought the views were amazing in every way we turned on the walkway across the road from the Agincourt Beachfont...We will be returning. It will most likely be in the winter though, as humidity is very high in the summer for us, as a couple from the central coast, in N.S.W. Thank you! It is close enough for a drive to Cairns, Port Douglas and other beautiful spots.

The North Cairns area can be noisy because of its location near the airport. Road noise is also a concern during the day because the apartment is on the1st floor and no sound barriers between its balcony and the road nearby. Overall, though, the noise level greatly reduces in the evening and did not affect our sleeping at night.

A good alternative to the much trendier and therefore pricier northern beaches of Trinity Beach and Palm Cove. And definitely much quieter! A comprehensive shopping strip on the main street and of course not far from the large shopping complex at Smithfield. A few restaurant options available, including the yacht club. There is a bus service into Cairns CBD, but I would recommend hiring a vehicle for your stay. Taxis are very expensive.

Beautiful, quiet and relaxing (wasn’t crowded at all when we were there in June). Seems to be off the beaten path for tourists—seemed to be more locals there, so probably not typically as crowded as some of the more well known beaches. We probably wouldn’t have known about it if we weren’t staying at a house on the beach. Neighborhood is quiet and beautiful, although not a ton of beach parking for visitors. Beautiful walking path, small playground, picnic tables, incredible sunrises, sand is soft and silky, water is warm to wade in, however, swimming is not recommended due to possible crocodiles.
