Top Cairns Beaches Hotel Reviews

Coral Sands Resort

8/10 Good

"What a sensational resort! The location was amazing with the beach just over the road. The bars and restaurants were within a very short walk but we didn’t hear a thing from these locations at night. The pool area and gardens were beautiful. My only concern was with the servicing of the room. We stayed for 3 weeks and while the towels and linen were changed weekly, the bathroom, kitchen, floors and toilets were not cleaned in that time. There were no cleaning products left in the rooms so I couldn’t do it myself. It was the only disappointment as the rest of the accommodation was wonderful."

Sea Change Beachfront Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely enjoyed our stay. Our apartment was huge and had everything we needed for the week. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and being close to the pool. We would definitely stay here again. I have one comment. Not related to the accommodation but more for Expedia. They listed our room but didn’t specify that you need to recommend a type of room you want even though when we booked it was pictures on a higher floor with ocean views but we put on ground level next to the pool area. Again, not a fault of the seachange but Expedia. They need to correct this for future."

Peppers Beach Club & Spa Palm Cove

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful resort at beautiful Palm Cove. Great location. Three great swimming pools. Excellent buffet breakfast. Staff made us feel very welcome. 30 minute trip into Cairns. Car is handy to have, otherwise the local bus service."

On the Beach Holiday Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Great location with ocean views. Spacious apartment with plenty of amenities. Parking was really handy and coming in and out of the complex was great. Frontal ocean views is magic ok the morning"

Pullman Palm Cove Sea Temple Resort and Spa

8/10 Good

"Lovely pools, one minute walk to the beach, nice room, free parking and five minutes walk to restaurants and bars. Palm Cove is lovely and very relaxing. Super friendly, helpful staff on reception. Really enjoyed our stay..."

The Reef Retreat

8/10 Good

"Great location near the Esplanade."

Mantra Amphora

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time: room was comfortable and clean, pool area is super nice, great location close to restaurants. Only issue was that we hired a baby cot, and we paid $10 per night for it and when we arrived the baby cot was not set up. We have to open it ourselves and figure out how to put it together, which was very disappointing."

"Great stay for a relaxing getaway.good pool, good walks along the beach.Bit far out of town,but a few conveniance stores nearby.Staff very helpfull and great to talk to would definitly stay again."
