                          Staff were very friendly, 24 hr desk was perfect as we arrived late. Room was huge, and very comfortable. Staff was very accommodating giving us a late checkout, and offering to store our bags for the day while we travelled up to the Daintree. Loved the pool area, wished we had another day just to hang out at the pool. Location is really neat, very small isolated beach front with little shops, restaurants and cafes, all running along the beach, 5 min walk away from the resort.

                          The Reef Retreat

                          4.0 This hotel was warm and had nice decor.
                          Palm cove was a nice area and the staff were pleasant. It is family owned and Clive ,his wife, and daughter were very helpful regarding what to do. Our room was a spa suite and had the kitchen outside, which was strange. So we looked at other rooms with the kitchens indoors but decided to stay in our original room which had a nicer layout( with the exception of the kitchen outside). The beaches were lovely, but when we were there it rained for a couple of days. We were in Trinity Beach a week before and prefer Palm Cove. However, scuba diving and snorkelling took awhile to reach due to the distance from land to the boats then to the Great Barrier Reef. We would rather have booked a liveaboard due to scuba diving. But would have stayed on land at Palm Cove for a few days for some land excursions. Our trip was based on water activities, which would have been easier access on a liveaboard. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Reef Retreat.

                          We traveled around Australia for 3 weeks. We rebooked here (cancelling another trip) because we enjoyed it so much! The room was beautiful and perfect for the area. Although there was no air conditioning we were very comfortable. Between the ceiling fans and ocean breezes it was perfect! I loved the setting, the verandah - (spend the extra for the verandah if you like to sit outdoors!), the pools, the people and the food. They were extremely helpful without getting in your way and helped us book several outings that we truly enjoyed. The salon has games, books and videos that you can enjoy there or take to your room and the pool. We are planning another trip in 2009 and this will be our major stop!
