Very nice hotel and the staff are very friendly and helpful providing recommendations for nearby activities and restaurants. We also enjoyed an excellent breakfast at the hotel's cafe.

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).

Large, very comfortable room. Great location. Very quiet…didn’t hear any other guests in adjoining rooms for our entire stay. Staff was very pleasant and helpful.

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.

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!

Felt very welcome, room clean and spacious. They were having roofing work carried out while we were there which started early but wasn’t an inconvenience. Pub/restaurant right next door was useful but we didn’t use it.
