The Palms at Palm Cove

Enjoyed 4 nights at The Palms at Palm Cove in October 2025. The gorgeous Balinese-inspired group of apartments is a 5 min walk from the beachfront restaurants and shops of Palm Cove. Apartments also have fully equipped kitchens for cooking and eating in. Only thing missing was a box of tissues, easily rectified by a quick visit to nearby supermarket.

We spent two very quiet and delightful nights here. Room two with its own gate from the deck to the pool was lovely. The amenities in the apartment and the grounds were great. This is a beautiful oasis.

Good location close to main strip. Our apartment at the front facing the busy street - Unit 6- was very noisy with traffic until quite late and again early in the morning. Unit was comfortable enough but very dim. Supplies were inadequate - coffee, dishwashing liquid. Could have provided more towels. No reception staff on site at regular times but notices to ring on mobile if any concerns. Self check in - we arrived after 7 to find the establishment very dark in places and stairs to first floor difficult to manage with heavy suitcases. Pool quite small but attractive surroundings. Peak season yes, but not good value - we have already booked at another establishment for next year which offers much more and rates only slightly higher.

Comfortable, clean accommodation in lush garden setting. Nice pool and BBQ area for self catering. Short walk (2-5 minutes) to Palm Cove Tavern, local small supermarket, coffee & juice bar. Five minute walk to Esplanade and beach with a broad choice of restaurants. Sheltered from the cool southerly and sea breezes. Opposite a bus stop for regular public transport to Cairns (approx 1 hour trip, but only 50 cents!) One bathroom a slight challenge with a family, but survivable. Only challenge we found was lack of response from property after reservation was made, until check in email received 3 days prior to arrival.

Very small apartment for 4 with the usual basic facilities. Lovely gardens and a nice pool which didn’t feel warm despite being heated. Used the washer dryer which didn’t dry clothes. We were in room 6 above reception and close to the road which was a bit noisy. Short walk to Tavern, supermarket and the beach. All 5 attempts to contact management prior to arrival via call, text and email where ignored.

Very unique, clean, tidy, close to restaurants, shops. Would definitely recommend, and would stay again.
