GREAT stay at the Riley hotel!!! We came for our honeymoon and got a special note and a bottle of wine from the hotel, what a great start for the vacation. The staff was extremely nice and helpful, went above and beyond to help in anything and gave us recommendations for the area. Always smiled at us when we passed by. The hotel itself is very beautiful, the pool (with sand) is amazing and the room was fully equipped with all that we needed. We had a great time and would definitely come back if we were ever in the region again.

We spend 10 nights here and had a great stay. Location is great, right next to big shopping centre with supermarkets and central trainstation (Kuranda scenic train leaves and arrives here). Within walking distance to town central, beach, restaurants etc. We only needed car for one day because of this. The facilities in the kitchen were good and we made breakfast ourselves everyday but one. Everything was clean and tidy. Dishwasher and laundry machine came in handy. Airconditioning was on both rooms which was absolutely brilliant. We loved the gym, sauna and the pools. We had some problems with the Wi-Fi but as soon as we mentioned it to the reception we got Wi-Fi extender and had no more problems. Chromecast in the room gave nice touch for vacay!

We were lucky to be upgraded to a 2 bedroom apartment overlooking the main pool. The apartment had everything we needed for our 6 night stay including a full oven and washing machine and dryer. Bed was very comfortable. Pool was heated enough to take the chill off the water and had plenty of loungers around it to sit and soak up the wonderful sunshine. Location was within walking distance to Trinity Beach, restaurants and even the local bus service to Cairns.

It's a good place to fly into, and go on and see other places, like the far north and Port Douglas, and on the train up to Kuranda. It's just another city, really. My 3rd time there, and apart from good Vietnamese food, (Pho Viet, opposite the library), there is nothing all that appealing. There are very few taxis, I didn't know this- uber is the way to get about apparently. Otherwise get your walking shoes on. It is slightly cheaper to eat out in Cairns than Port Douglas, though.

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.
