Pool is huge, late check in process was smooth/well communicated. The "2 bed" apartment itself was small and tired, one shower head not working, holes in walls, lighting not working. Disappointed to pay $40/night extra for a rollaway bed that didn't come with a blanket or towel and wasn't even set up. Overpriced overall for what it is. ##### Stephanie Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Mark Jun 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Great pool ##### Mark Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ingrid May 16, 2025 Best pool in Palm Cove, lovely staff ##### Ingrid Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew D G May 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication We loved our stay at Drift Palm Cove, it was perfect and we didn't want to leave.

We saw a branch break and hit a women on the shoulder as she was holding her baby with her other arm. It was dangerous and we spoke to management. We have stayed here previously and the pool is lovely but very shaded as the trees are so large and overhang the pool. Therefore it's very cold. ##### Sheryl Maree Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris Mar 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication great location great facilities kids loved the pool cannot wait to go back ##### Chris Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angelina Mikayla Nov 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication loved how the place was everybody was nice and accommodating ##### Angelina Mikayla Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rob Oct 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication Very pleasant, pool area is fantastic, staff friendly and helpful, rooms are very roomy ##### Rob Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Gavin Jun 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication The air conditioning was cold.
