Palm Royale Cairns, hotel in Cairns

Palm Royale Cairns is set among 2.5 acres of beautiful tropical gardens and offers rooms with a private balcony and pool or garden views. It features 2 swimming pools and a spa pool.

If you could pick up this hotel and put it in near Cairns CBD, update the bedroom decor a bit, then it would be 8/10. Pool was nice and warm because of the climate. Saving grace is the Urban Coffee place across the road, really friendly and affordable.

The Reef Retreat Palm Cove, hotel in Palm Cove

Set among groves of paperbark trees, The Reef Retreat offers 4-star accommodations just 1 minute's walk from the beach at Palm Cove.

Good location, nice sized room. We liked the separate patio with kitchen facilities. Washer and dryer were handy but expensive. The staff is very informed about local restaurants, and they made an excellent recommendation about a dive trip to the GBR.

    Super shower! So much better than all of the ‘luxury’ bathrooms in much more expensive hotels and resorts.

    Pools were the best feature...gardens were well done and very relaxing. As far as a family resort goes, it's suited to the budget.

    The view from the room was fantastic! The location was fantastic! Close enough to walk to everything but far enough to not be in the middle of all the hubbub and chaos. Nice pool but we were there over school holiday and there were lots of kids being kids and not being considerate of others...but it's a family resort so...

    Cairns Beach Resort is an excellent place to stay for touring the area. It’s right next to Holloways Beach with a cafe just over the road and is right on a bus route to the city. Very convenient for visiting The Tablelands, Mossman, The Daintree, Cape Tribulation and doing a reef trip.
