Hotel Palm Cove dengan Kolam Renang

We just spent a fantastic week at the Alamanda. Before we arrived they arranged transport for us from (and to) the Cairns airport through Exemplar, an excellent shuttle service. A small discount is applied to the transport charge when the Alamanda makes the booking. From arrival and check in until we reluctantly said goodbye, every staff member including Kiley the manager were helpful and friendly. The kitchen/living area of our oceanfront one bedroom suite (#35) was on the top floor with our spacious en suite bedroom, and a second bathroom with shower, on the floor below. The furnishings are modern, there is Miele equipment in the kitchen and laundry, and the entire place was immaculately clean. The wonderful view from our big balcony took in the beach, palm trees, and one of the three swimming pools. The main pool was being renovated but unlike other reviewers, we never heard any construction noise from it. There was an occasional sound or two from what was probably routine maintenance or minor construction, but it was never a nuisance. The Alamanda is at the end of the main street that runs along the beach and is situated such that the street turns before it passes in front of the side of the building where our suite was located. As far as we could tell this was the only accommodation in Palm Cove that didn’t have the street between it and the beach, so no traffic noise. It is a short walk to the many restaurants, bars, and shops on the main street (DO NOT miss the restaurant Vivo - see separate review). Restaurant La Mesa at the Mantra is very good and gives a discount to Accor members, but only if you have your Accor card with you. There is a small well-stocked grocery store very near Alamanda, and a short distance past the store is the Palm Cove Tavern and bottle shop. Gabi in the office were eager to help us sort out an excursion to Kuranda via the historic train from Freshwater, and back down the mountain via cable car. One tour was based from Cairns which would have required us to pay separately for transport to the train station and back from the cable car station. Upon looking at the many brochures in the office we found a brochure for Brett’s one-day Kuranda tour that originates in Port Douglas with a pick up in Palm Cove, eliminating the need to pay for separate transport. It pays to look closely at the brochures. Gabi booked our tour with Brett’s excellent tour (see separate review) and the charge was put on our room. We have told friends and family about our wonderful stay here and some of them are already planning their visits. We will definitely be back!

Our first room was terrible, so terrible. The curtains were mouldy and stained and I could barely bear to touch them. The carpet was dirty and damp, the whole place smelt very damp and bad. Our bathroom sink wouldn't drain. I lasted 2 nights (which I shouldn't have!) and after reading lots of bad reviews I went to reception to tell them I just couldn't do it. It was unhealthy and I felt sick. The girls at the desk were very helpful and immediately swapped us to another apartment that was lovely, spotlessly clean and fresh and beautiful. Just like you would expect! told them that the first apartment should never have been rented out in that state! I don't understand why they would put people in there. The pool area is beautiful, and I think most of the rooms probably are too, but they need to get the owners of the apartments to renovate if they are not up to scratch. Our last 3 nights were great, so I am putting average. If we had been in there the whole time it would have been perfect.

Sarayi Hotel was in a great spot with a cafe at the front of the building that served a great breakfast. There was parking available at the rear of the building which was very convenient. Restaurants and cafes were all nearby , you just had to choose left or right. We were in a motel style room on the ground floor for 4 nights , the bed was good and there was a small courtyard area. laundry facilities available. only negative was the foyer lights are on all night

The room is great! Quite spacious with enough space for a family of four. There is a barbecue grill and kitchen as well as dishes and cooking utensils. Very good. But the service and hospitality is poor. The worst experience I’ve ever made! There is one restaurant that is always fully booked, but still has tables and chairs available. You have to please them to make up a table for you, very uncomfortable for a five star hotel! Then they have a lagoon bar that offers foods and drinks. First day 29. Dec there was a wedding, so the lagoon bar was closed for hotel guests. Food can be ordered to room, because restaurant is fully booked. We asked if there is a celebration for New Year’s Eve, but concierge told us it was cancelled because no people were interested in. On 31. Dec they closed lagoon bar again for hotel guest because suddenly they had a New Year’s Eve party, but not for us. On January 1st there was no room service…. Check out was the same unfriendly treatment as during check-in… If you don’t mind to spent your holidays like a tenant it’s a great place. As a hotel guest better try another one. We will not come back here!

We arrived in the early hours after a very long travel day but thankfully the after hours check in worked well and we found a parking space then, at 2am!! They stress that parking is first come, first served. We stayed a week and typically got in around 4.30 after a day out and only once couldn't park the car in the garage. It was no trouble to find a space on the street. The staff were friendly. Great location with a side view of the beach. We loved the sound of the ocean. Places to eat in the area were plentiful and easy to walk to. Although Rattle & Hum is literally on site and always very busy we never experienced any excessive street noise. The bad points: No full length mirror. Hard to shower without making floor wet. Balcony furniture uncomfortable to sit for long. No oven, just microwave and two rings but perfectly functional for our needs. No fly mesh on window shutters...but bugs weren't an issue during our stay. We absolutely loved Palm Cove and were sad to leave.

ケアンズ市街からパームコーブまではタクシーで70ドルくらいでした。スーツケース4つと大人3人普通にタクシーで移動可能です。が、30分ほどかかるので、3泊の滞在をよりスムーズにするためにはレンタカーが良いかもしれません。 マントラアンフォラは最高でした。ビーチも目の前でプールもとても過ごしやすいプールでした。 パームコーブにはリカーショップはありますが、大きなスーパーがないため、食材などは別の場所で購入することをお勧めします。お部屋にもよると思いますが、3階でしたが階段です。日当たりがとても良い部屋ではなかったので、湿気に発生する小さな虫はいましたが、大きな問題ではありませんでした。それよりも広いバスタブは気持ちよく、部屋も広く快適でしたが、エキストラベッドはエアベッドで、日に日にしぼんでいきました笑。ソファが広かったので、それも特に問題ではありませんでした。 ロケーションは文句なしです。 ９月の滞在でしたが、夏のつもりで行きましたが、汗をかくことのない涼しい気候でした。

Save for the pillows...beautiful apartment. Lots of space. Nice and clean. Great swimming facilities. MAGNIFICENT landscaping. Walk to beach. Polite, courteous and helpful management. Oven, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer...Needed to get new toaster. Request answered in lightening fashion. Spa on site. Massage, facials...Small coffee shop...Perhaps the only complaint, coffee shop not always open. If you are searching for peace and tranquility...Mango Lagoon Resort is for you.

We spent a week with our daughter and 2 grandsons at the beautiful Sanctuary apartments. We had a well appointed, spotlessly clean and spacious 3 bedroomed apartment with a great well equipped kitchen. The children loved the pool and the location so close to the beach. Thank you so much to the wonderful staff for their great recommendations, especially for the Salt & Pepper food stall at the monthly Market! We will definitely be back
