Palm Cove Tropic Apartments

Stayed here for one week. Location is perfect. Down a side street 200 metres from the beach. Mini supermarket less than 100 metres away. Very quiet, unlike the busy beachfront establishments. Lovely heated pool in a lush environment. Apartments are discreetly designed to have a private balcony table and chairs. The buildings are 30 years old and need some TLC. We had apartment 208 which has recently been sold, so hopefully basic renovations will be forthcoming. The front door squeaks like entering a dungeon. Oil on the hinges will fix that. The rollers on the sliding doors to the balcony need rollers replaced…they are difficult to open. A simple fix. The bathroom door is swelling at the base. Looks unsightly, but works fine. Simple things would make the apartment so much nicer. Everything else works fine…a home away from home. Every thing is there, just bring your toothbrush. TV A/C, ceiling fans, iron, medium sized fridge The setting is beautiful. Secure underground parking is also a bonus. Communication with management is another major problem. If the office is unattended…which is often, there is no way to contact anyone, only an emergency number. If you arrive at a time around 2pm when the office is unattended, the notice board may have your apartment key in a brown envelope attached. This should be communicated by email….which was promised to me…. I am still waiting!!! Fortunately a passing guest showed me the ‘ropes’. Aside from the above dramas…. love the place!!

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.

Advertising on Wotif website is misleading. We turned up on the first day at 2:30pm, no one in reception. Wotif advertises 24 hours reception & the check-in time is 2pm. Reception only opens from 10am to 2pm Monday to Friday. It's definitely a 2 star hotel. But Wotif advertises it as a 4 star. All the appliances in the unit are antique, but operable. Overall, we are very disappointed.

Very comfortable, large balcony, good kitchen, walking distance to beach and restaurants and bed very comfortable

The location was perfect, but that is where the pros stop. I rarely give a slamming review but this accommodation deserves it. The apartment was filthy 🤧... My feet were black within minutes of walking on the tiles. The mould and dust was disgusting. Enough said, check out the photos 📸

Room was great, so appreciated the washer and dryer.

Great location and price. Hard to contact reception due to short opening hours. Definitely a good option to stay in Palm Cove.

The unit smelled of mould, and it was making me ill, and it wasn't that clean. I have been in the cleaning industry for 40 years in Palm Cove, so I know what I'm talking about

Very disappointing . What is potentially a nice swimming pool spoilt by leaves everywhere in the water and all around it .TV didn’t work , shower head leaking , shower itself mouldy and slippery . Minimal reception hours, closed . from 3.30 Friday til 9.30 Monday . Would not reccommend or go there again .
