Bei längeren Reisen braucht man manchmal ein zu Hause. Und genau das haben wir im Ressort erreicht. Ein sehr gut ausgestattetes Apartment mit Blick auf das Meer. Freundliche und schnelle Kommunikation mit der Managerin Lisa. Ein unglaublich wunderschöner gepflegter Garten mit Pool. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und uns sehr gut erholt.

What a beautiful place to stay. The pool was gorgeous to swim in and the shallow part up the top was ideal to just lounge around in for hours (would be excellent if you have small children). Very quiet and private. Virtually in the middle of the main street so such an easy walk one way to bottleshop/pub and supermarket or the other way to some beautiful dining options. Fantastic view of the ocean. Was simply perfect for mine and my partners valentines day. Even having ice ready to go in the freezer was well appreciated. Most hotels have empty ice trays that you have to fill which isn't helpful when you arrive with drinks. Most definitely would stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The property is older style but very well equipped and clean. The central location is great and we had views of the garden and pool also the ocean. You could hear the waves at night. There were quite a few stairs but for us only really a bit of a hassle getting luggage up and down

The best easygoing accomodations in Palm Cove. The units are spacious with a full kitchen, plus they have a nice grilling area by the pool which we used 3 times. Friendly staff. No,not is not new all white modern styling, but it is very clean and comfortable. Really is a good bargain compared to some of the other places nearby. Located directly in front of the beach and the esplanade walking path. Washer and dryer in the unit was super helpful. Great place to stay!!
