Clean room with all necessary amenities.
I like that the property is not situated on the main drag.
Pool and poolside amenities are fabulous.
Secure, undercover parking is great.
No onsite interaction with staff members.
I met the 3 sets of residents in the pool for the first time in my 3-4 stays here. They were welcoming, friendly and lovely to chat with.

We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay in Palm Cove Tropic Apartments. The location was quiet and easy to find and close to dining options and the beach. The pool was a wonderful social and refreshing point at the end of each day. We loved our time there.

We were very happy with our stay.
Perhaps the pool didn't get a lot of sun but that wasn't a big worry.

Great to return after 7 years to palm cove tropical apartments and to find they still have the ambience I remembered. Room was comfortable. Loved the closeness the the beach and the restaurants with the pub being 100 m away. Bus stop nearby should a trip to the supermarket or çairns be needed.
Management was ready to assist when the tv wouldn't operate and after attempt at remediation got a new tv provided. Pool was great. Yes it does have leaves but it's surrounded by magnificent melaleuca trees and they do drop leaves. The room.looked a bit tired but was still more than adequate. Good place to stay when in Palm Cove.

Property recently sold. New owner appeared to manage the property on part-time basis. Reception opened from 9:30am to 2:00pm.
We stayed for two nights. The reception was unattended most of the time, and the service was below expectations. The pool also closed earlier than the displayed closing time. One air conditioner was out of order.

Great location and Palm Cove was better than we expected.
Property was clean, had everything we required, but was aged.
