Shabby and not very chic

Largely residential apartment block. The room I was given was in very poor condition and not very clean. No flyscreens on the sliding doors or windows so the a/c has to be on to get any air. Poor communication from management/reception about pretty much everything. Note for future customers - don’t return your keys to reception before you get your car out of the car park. Particularly if it is out of hours. I had to wake up a resident to help me get back down to my car.

Good apartment for a large family

Good apartment for large family. The rooms were pretty good and clean. The swimming pool was clean and well maintained. Overall a very good experience staying here. The reception staff also gives discount coupons for cairns attractions like thec rocodile tour etc so make sure to ask for that. One small shortcoming was not having the flexibility to extend the checkout. We requested for checkout to be moved by just one hour but received a stern no and they wanted us to vacate at 10 AM sharp. Keeping that aside it was worth the money.

The apartment was dated and we had to clean the spa bath with the shower over it because it was very dirty before we could use it. Also we could not walk around without shoes as the floor was dirty even though it looked clean.

The room was very nice but that's where the good part ends. The reception people are very hard to contact. We had to sit in the car in the rain for 1 hour before we could check in...why do they need a 2 hour lunch? They don't keep the posted hours so we were unable to get pool towels or even enter the pool area...had to wash our bath towels ourselves. Parking was very tight- we were given the wrong spot for our whole stay. I'd recommend somewhere else

Unit was small but clean and tidy. Specifically rang after making booking to advise required twin beds and advised no problem but arrived to find 1 bed but they did make up a room with twin beds.The room was on the Water Street frontage and with a new construction opposite the noise of trucks etc started before 5am. Realise this is not the fault of resort but best to stay away from street front units.TV hardly worked as WIFI kept dropping out even on Free to air TV.
