Family friendly Hotels in Palm Cove

We just spent a fantastic week at the Alamanda. Before we arrived they arranged transport for us from (and to) the Cairns airport through Exemplar, an excellent shuttle service. A small discount is applied to the transport charge when the Alamanda makes the booking. From arrival and check in until we reluctantly said goodbye, every staff member including Kiley the manager were helpful and friendly. The kitchen/living area of our oceanfront one bedroom suite (#35) was on the top floor with our spacious en suite bedroom, and a second bathroom with shower, on the floor below. The furnishings are modern, there is Miele equipment in the kitchen and laundry, and the entire place was immaculately clean. The wonderful view from our big balcony took in the beach, palm trees, and one of the three swimming pools. The main pool was being renovated but unlike other reviewers, we never heard any construction noise from it. There was an occasional sound or two from what was probably routine maintenance or minor construction, but it was never a nuisance. The Alamanda is at the end of the main street that runs along the beach and is situated such that the street turns before it passes in front of the side of the building where our suite was located. As far as we could tell this was the only accommodation in Palm Cove that didn’t have the street between it and the beach, so no traffic noise. It is a short walk to the many restaurants, bars, and shops on the main street (DO NOT miss the restaurant Vivo - see separate review). Restaurant La Mesa at the Mantra is very good and gives a discount to Accor members, but only if you have your Accor card with you. There is a small well-stocked grocery store very near Alamanda, and a short distance past the store is the Palm Cove Tavern and bottle shop. Gabi in the office were eager to help us sort out an excursion to Kuranda via the historic train from Freshwater, and back down the mountain via cable car. One tour was based from Cairns which would have required us to pay separately for transport to the train station and back from the cable car station. Upon looking at the many brochures in the office we found a brochure for Brett’s one-day Kuranda tour that originates in Port Douglas with a pick up in Palm Cove, eliminating the need to pay for separate transport. It pays to look closely at the brochures. Gabi booked our tour with Brett’s excellent tour (see separate review) and the charge was put on our room. We have told friends and family about our wonderful stay here and some of them are already planning their visits. We will definitely be back!

The Cairns trip was arranged for 7 days, 5 days spent in urban recreation and strolling, and 2 days came to Palm Cove, a seaside hotel suitable for leisure. The hotel has a large swimming pool and a gym. Because I learned that the hotel is equipped with kitchen utensils, but there is no large shopping supermarket nearby, I bought some beef and lamb chops, vegetables, eggs and rice in the supermarket in Cairns before coming to Palm Cove. Friends who don't like to cook can go to the beachfront street to eat, very close, it is a little expensive. Also suitable for taking children, need to be reminded that there may be jellyfish at the beach, pay attention to safety. In addition, from the Cairns city to Palm Cove, if you do not have a lot of luggage, you can choose to take the bus, you can also take a taxi, a little expensive about 100 Australian dollars.

Very nice hotel, super large, living room kitchen with two bedrooms and laundry, big balcony, white beach pool is also very good

Sarayi Hotel was in a great spot with a cafe at the front of the building that served a great breakfast. There was parking available at the rear of the building which was very convenient. Restaurants and cafes were all nearby , you just had to choose left or right. We were in a motel style room on the ground floor for 4 nights , the bed was good and there was a small courtyard area. laundry facilities available. only negative was the foyer lights are on all night

The location of the hotel is slightly off, but the hotel's own environment is good, the swimming pool is very suitable for children to splash around. The room is spacious, the kitchen in the room is fully equipped, and it is very convenient to cook for yourself. Free parking is available.

We arrived in the early hours after a very long travel day but thankfully the after hours check in worked well and we found a parking space then, at 2am!! They stress that parking is first come, first served. We stayed a week and typically got in around 4.30 after a day out and only once couldn't park the car in the garage. It was no trouble to find a space on the street. The staff were friendly. Great location with a side view of the beach. We loved the sound of the ocean. Places to eat in the area were plentiful and easy to walk to. Although Rattle & Hum is literally on site and always very busy we never experienced any excessive street noise. The bad points: No full length mirror. Hard to shower without making floor wet. Balcony furniture uncomfortable to sit for long. No oven, just microwave and two rings but perfectly functional for our needs. No fly mesh on window shutters...but bugs weren't an issue during our stay. We absolutely loved Palm Cove and were sad to leave.

Save for the pillows...beautiful apartment. Lots of space. Nice and clean. Great swimming facilities. MAGNIFICENT landscaping. Walk to beach. Polite, courteous and helpful management. Oven, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer...Needed to get new toaster. Request answered in lightening fashion. Spa on site. Massage, facials...Small coffee shop...Perhaps the only complaint, coffee shop not always open. If you are searching for peace and tranquility...Mango Lagoon Resort is for you.

The sign of the hotel faces the seaside. We didn't see it when we entered from the Captain Cook highway. We missed it, and we turned around and saw it. Parking is not allowed at the front desk, but must be parked behind the hotel. The hotel is a 5-10 minute walk from the beach. It is better to live on the beach. There was no one at the front desk. After the call, the boss Bruse came over. A very friendly old man. He signed the order directly and took him to the room. No deposit was required, but he didn't actively tell the wifi password. The rooms are one living room and two bedrooms with kitchen. They are quite big. It takes a little time for the decoration, but it is clean, the air conditioner is cold enough, and the stove is complete, so you can cook it yourself. But after use, you must clean up the tableware and stove. The refrigerator is posted to the trash can at the back of the hotel. Not far by car to the supermarket, there are many restaurants by the sea, and parking by the sea is free. Check out at 10 o'clock, call the boss. The room is close to the roadside, a bit noisy at night, towels, hair dryers are provided, no slippers, toothbrushes, toothpaste, bathing supplies

I played on the Sanctuary Cove golf course. Coco is also an area adjacent to the Hope Island area, and is a golf course located in an ultra-luxury residential area. First of all, the passenger cart is high-end, the clubhouse restaurant is high-end, and of course the ⛳️ course is also high-end. Surprisingly, when the cart gets close to the green, it automatically stops moving and you have to escape by backing up. Also, just like Hope Island, the houses 🏠 seen from the hall ⛳️ surrounded by the lagoon are all houses that I think are ”good”. It was a day that made me feel rich, even if only for a short while.
