"We were so delighted with this accommodation we decided to extend our trip, cannot recommend enough, well run, well maintained, very clean, well kitted out with everything you need, I cannot recommend this resort enough. It’s just beautiful and so close to Trinity Beach, restaurants and BBQ/Picnic areas - we love it!"

"Loved my stay at these apartments. Overall complex was gorgeous and gave hotel vibes. Location was fantastic - place was walking distance to the trinity beach restaurants and direct across from the beach, trinity beach itself is halfway between palm cove and cairns so a fantastic base for exploring. Apartment was spacious and relatively clean, not renovated but well maintained. One thing to watch out for is the groundfloor pathways have shallow water either side. This was fine for us with one preschooler who knew not to go near the water, but may not be suited for anyone with multiple or younger kids. "

"We travelled as a family of four for a three-night stay and stayed in a two-bedroom suite. The rooms were not adjoining, but shared a private entrance, which worked well for us. The kitchenette was well equipped, with an oven, ceramic cooktop, toaster, large fridge/freezer and microwave, which was really useful. The island itself is absolutely stunning. The snorkelling was a highlight, with turtles, reef sharks and beautiful reef easily accessible. The summit hike was also amazing, although I’d only recommend it for children aged 8+ with good fitness levels. Unfortunately, the resort experience did not match the premium price. Rooms are only cleaned every three days, towels were not replaced, and we had to empty our own bins. Staff availability was limited, and when we requested extra items, it often felt like we were inconveniencing them. We did not eat in the main restaurant, but had dinner at Foxy’s Cafe. The food was hit and miss, and the customer service was disappointing. Staff were quick to explain what guests could not do, but rarely offered helpful solutions or much empathy. Overall, I would return for a day trip, but would not stay again. The island is beautiful and well worth visiting, but the resort charges premium prices without delivering a premium resort experience."

"Honestly 10/10 what a great stay we had, coffee shops & food right there, beautiful beach & heaps of wildlife walking around, watch your step in the hotel (we were on the 4th floor and had to carry a little lizard down the elevator) "

"Absolutely beautiful place. Nice big outdoor kitchen. Was sad to leave."

"Great position looking over the beach. Very quiet location. Manager was absolutely amazing. Staff were lovely. "
