Perfect for families. Nice big
Perfect for families. Nice big roomy apartments, & full kitchen. Have stayed many times & will continue to do so in the future. Note for parents no DVD facilities & the in room TV service is average. SO BYO movies on ipod. Noticed that the rooms were starting to look 'tired' but thats only because I have been going there over the last 7 years! They have now got a 24 hr kiosk with basics like milk etc, which was great. Highly recommend to families travelling

We had a great week-long stay
We had a great week-long stay at The Lakes in Cairns. Our 2-bed apartment was at the far end of the resort and was quiet, very spacious and immaculately clean. It was near the children's playground and pool with soft white sand which my two young children loved. It is not in the centre of Cairns but we had a car so this was not a problem. Some small drawbacks - the hotel had no record of me ordering a portacot with my booking. Takeaway alcohol bought at reception is quite expensive (although convenient).

Really liked our stay here. It
Really liked our stay here. It was very close to the airport and not far from the pier and a drive north (about an hour and a half) to the Gorge. Disappointed that there was no jacuzzi anywhere even though there are 3 pools

A great place to stay if you want
A great place to stay if you want everything at your fingertips. Gorgeous pool, very helpfull staff. Wish we had a longer stay to enjoy more of the emenities. It's location is away from the hub of downtown which we considered a plus. My only critisim is that it is too far to walk to restaurants but we had a car so not really an issue for us. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great place to stay.

Lakes Cairns Resort & Spa
We stayed in a 2-bedroom unit for four nights, and the room was very spacious and comfortable. Room decorations were a bit out-dated and dusty, but the unit was quiet clean overall. We did find a couple of dead cockroches...all though you kind of expect that in tropical areas like Cairns. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The pools (all five) were very impressive. The location is ok. You have to take a local bus or taxi to the city center. We enjoyed our stay there overall.

Sightseeing tip:
Short walk from hotel
The hotel is right next to the Botanic Garden and Art Center. It's worth visiting.

Large but well-equipped and efficient complex, so pools and facilities can be a long way from your apartment.
