Top Cairns Beaches Hotel Reviews

Pullman Palm Cove Sea Temple Resort and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"My partner (now fiancé!) and I had an excellent stay here. I rang in advance to organise a couple of things as a surprise as I was planning to propose to my partner during our stay in Palm Cove. Daniella was a star and helped out massively. Our room was beautiful, the rest of the staff were lovely, the included breakfast was really good and we had dinner in the Temple of Tastes restaurant one night which also really tasty. The hotel is in a great location in the beach town of palm cove: just out of the town enough that it feels secluded and peaceful but still walking distance to the Esplanade, bus and a number of restaurants, bars etc. You can walk right to the beach from the pool area of the hotel. We also had a great experience in the hotel’s Spa having massages."

8/10 Good

"We have stayed at Reef House several times and parts of it are starting to look a little tired. The tracks for the sliding doors - to balcony, bathroom and cupboards- need servicing or replacing. Geneeal maintenance is lacking in parts. Having recently stayed at a newly refurbushed hotel at Noosa this would probably be our preferencecrather than returing to Reef Housre"
