Spacious and very clean. Highly recommend this as a well priced stay for exceptional value. Only 2 small things let the place down - (1) it smelt like chlorine the bleach was so strong (it was very clean though!) and it took a bit to remove the smell and (2) the surly guy at reception who was more interested in what he couldn’t do than what he could. We still loved our stay and would definitely return. ##### Christine Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chad May 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The pool as a Sectional temperature.

Jim on reception was very welcoming and friendly. As we had flown from Adelaide on the 6am flight we were very pleased to be able to access our room early so we could start our relaxing holiday. The property is older but everything was clean and well maintained. The bed was very comfortable. It was in a great position close to the beach and restaurants. Water pressure in the shower was a bit feeble but adequate. We would definitely book this property again on our next visit to palm cove. ##### jan Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Delecia Nov 26, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Beautiful place to stay 🙏 Great position and beautiful setting. ##### Delecia Stayed 8 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martin Jun 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Had the best stay at The Reef Retreat. My apartment was perfect. I'd have breakfast there that I cooked myself before exploring Palm Cove and the local attractions. Jim at reception would book anything you'd like to including transport. After exploring Palm Cove, Cairns the reef or where you went. You come home to relax before treating your self to the local restaurants. Having such prime location is amazing. After a long I'd go for a dip in the heated pool and hot tub spa. Amazing atmosphere. My favourite place, I'll be back. ##### Martin Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jane Sep 28, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Great location, nice hotel Relaxed, good quality, fantastic location, everything we needed for a weekend break. ##### Jane Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Timothy Sep 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, communication Pleasant stay ##### Timothy Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jul 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication Fantastic Accomadation in a very convenient location.
