The hotel has an excellent central location in Palm Cove, right in the heart of the waterfront strip, offering plenty of nearby dining and shopping options. The rooms were a bit disappointing with signs of wear and tear, but the service was top-notch. The dining experience was enjoyable, especially with the breathtaking coastal view, and the facilities were well-maintained.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of wonderful and slightly underwhelming experiences. The room was spacious, impeccably clean, and had a balcony with stunning views of the Coral Sea. However, the room was not ready as promised after 2.00pm. The service was generally friendly, with a few standouts like Clare at reception, but lacked real enthusiasm overall. The location was perfect, right in the heart of Palm Cove overlooking the sea. The dining experience was delightful, especially breakfast over the ocean, but there could have been more variety in the options. The facilities were top-notch, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

The hotel rooms let in an extraordinary amount of light at night and offer a lovely view of the ocean, while being spacious and very clean. The beach is conveniently located across the road. The service provided was extremely friendly, helpful, and pleasant, going out of their way to ensure a great stay. The location, despite being dated in some areas, offers a relaxing atmosphere right in the middle of the beach area. The dining experience, especially overlooking the ocean, was bountiful and tasty, though the service was substandard at times. Overall, the facilities were satisfying, with a few minor setbacks.

I had a great time at this hotel. The rooms were very nice and ideal for a short stay, spacious and comfortable with a big balcony overlooking the huge pool and tropical gardens. However, the room was a bit outdated, a little bit dirty, and missing some amenities like brochures and a small table to sit.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was perfect, right in the heart of Palm Cove with plenty of dining and shopping options nearby. The rooms, although themed and comfortable, were a bit noisy due to their proximity to the spa. The service was top-notch, with the staff being overly helpful and friendly. The dining experience, while satisfactory, was basic, but the fantastic view made up for it. Overall, a good value for the money with a great atmosphere.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel with amazing views of the ocean and pool areas. The rooms were very comfortable, featuring a veranda with a mini kitchen table and chairs overlooking the pool and garden. The interconnected setup with a private foyer was a nice touch. The service was outstanding, with helpful staff eager to assist with sightseeing. The location is superb, right on the esplanade in Palm Cove. However, the dining experience was disappointing, with limited options that fell short of expectations.
