My wife and I came here for our honeymoon. The location is great, close to the sea. If people would like to see the Great Barrier Reef, the pier is just downstairs and there are restaurants nearby. Special thanks go to the staff here! We checked-out on February 7th and were about to fly to Melbourne. At this time, my wife suddenly felt not well and was going to pass out. The two ladies at the front desk immediately helped me contact the emergency. The manager helped us lie down in a comfortable place before the ambulance arrived, and brought the AED equipment, set up a privacy space with curtains, and finally helped us keep our luggage. After returning from the hospital, we stayed one more night. The hotel staff quickly helped me check in, delivered my luggage to our room, and also gave us a fruit plate. We appreciate it so much to the staff here! Your warm and welcoming atmosphere gave us an unforgettable memory. One last thank you to the staff who helped us!

We spent 4 nights, family of 8. The staff provided excellent service. We stayed in a 4 bed apartment which was absolutely stunning with amazing views, very peaceful comfortable & well equipped. The beach was very close and in its vicinity there are local shops & restaurants, although I would recommend hiring a car for amazing sights.

It's a good place to fly into, and go on and see other places, like the far north and Port Douglas, and on the train up to Kuranda. It's just another city, really. My 3rd time there, and apart from good Vietnamese food, (Pho Viet, opposite the library), there is nothing all that appealing. There are very few taxis, I didn't know this- uber is the way to get about apparently. Otherwise get your walking shoes on. It is slightly cheaper to eat out in Cairns than Port Douglas, though.

We loved our time at Palm Cove

We loved our time at Palm Cove Hired a Car to get around, tho there are buses, that come quite frequently or grab an Uber Handy Supermarket, Bakery, Butcher, Chemist etc, at Clifton Beach, 10 Minutes from Palm Cove. So many great places to eat, along the strip. For a quick Pub style meal, you can't go past, the Surf Club Elgreko (Greek) was absolutely, delicious - however it is uptairs, so if mobility is a problem, perhaps, not for you Got a delicious Pizza from Rummble & Hum Lovely meal at Peppers Drove down to Yorkey's Knob, Boat Club, for lunch, about 25 Minutes from Palm Cove

hotel was right on the beach so excellent for sunrise and sunset photos. beach is picturesque with a nice lookout at one end. close to restaurants, quick drive to a supermarket. phone reception was patchy on beach front but fine around the corner. room has only a bar fridge not full size. off road parking can be tight if you are last one's home.

The beautiful breeze was lovely whenever I sat on a comfortable seat on the grass near the beach... We thought the views were amazing in every way we turned on the walkway across the road from the Agincourt Beachfont...We will be returning. It will most likely be in the winter though, as humidity is very high in the summer for us, as a couple from the central coast, in N.S.W. Thank you! It is close enough for a drive to Cairns, Port Douglas and other beautiful spots.

The North Cairns area can be noisy because of its location near the airport. Road noise is also a concern during the day because the apartment is on the1st floor and no sound barriers between its balcony and the road nearby. Overall, though, the noise level greatly reduces in the evening and did not affect our sleeping at night.

A good alternative to the much trendier and therefore pricier northern beaches of Trinity Beach and Palm Cove. And definitely much quieter! A comprehensive shopping strip on the main street and of course not far from the large shopping complex at Smithfield. A few restaurant options available, including the yacht club. There is a bus service into Cairns CBD, but I would recommend hiring a vehicle for your stay. Taxis are very expensive.
