A sensational place right on the beach in Palm Cove, a little village with plenty of Restaurants and NuNu at Alamanda has a Fantastic Breakfast for in house Guests, we had the Breaky for the 5 mornings we were there. A great way to start the Day, Fresh fruit and Juices followed by Musili and a selection of cooked eggs charizo or Bacon for 2nd course followed by great coffee. Alamanda has 3 pools an Adults only right on the beach under the palms, or the heated Kids pool and Juccuzi, or settle in around the main pool.

Alamanda Cove is in a fantastic location and the beachfront apartments has fantastic views and sea breezes. the apartments are spacious, comfortable and well appointed.

Great experience, wonderful staff that were very friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Snorkelling was amazing and Phill junior has us giggling with his commentary. The Evolution was kept super clean and food was great! Loved it even though I got a little sick I give them an 11 out of 10 and I’d go back again any day ⭐️ The vessel was comfortable, the Staff were friendly and helpful, the food was well presented and tasty. The first snorkeling spot was great and plenty to see but the second spot was not as interesting. A faultless event from start to finish! An atmosphere of fun and friendliness throughout, but always with a strong undercurrent of safety for all on board. The depth of care, and attention to detail. was exceptional; catering to every level of skill, ability, and nervousness, with kindness and encouragement. Seeing and exploring the reef speaks for itself. You must do this! We were certainly well fed too, and it was all fresh and delicious, and of excellent quality! The entire crew, even Uncle Eddie, were fabulous! We would do it again tomorrow!

If you haven’t visited Palm Cove then do so!!! Such a stunning and picturesque destination full of palm trees overhanging the amazing beach. An extremely romantic destination but also great for families. The esplanade stretches the entire length of Palm Cove, a short distance away from the main road which joins Cairns and Port Douglas. All along the esplanade are stunning hotels, fabulous restaurants all overlooking the beach with ocean views. Getting there - Buses (public and private charter), Uber etc., all go to Palm Cove from Cairns where the International Airport is located, about a 30 minute drive away. Once in Palm Cove you can walk everywhere, although you can hire cars and scooters for travelling further afield. There are also many tours you can book. Tours - Port Douglas is about a 40 minute drive north of Palm Cove. Considerably larger in size with a marina and a Main Street with shopping. Rainforests due to the tropical climate are everywhere and a trip to them are a must. Hartleys Crocodile Park is a great day out getting up close to crocs and is a short drive from Palm Cove. Restaurants - All cuisines catered for with amazing views of the ocean only a few metres from the beach. All budgets catered for also with probably one of the best surf clubs situated right across from the beach, cheap cold beers, great food and entertainment for the kids. Hotels - Book before you travel, especially at the moment during the pandemic when everyone is holidaying within Australia. All different budgets for the whole family. One of my favourites being the Pullman and the Reef House. All have swimming pools as unfortunately you can’t swim in the sea due to the local crocodiles and jelly fish! Although there is a netted area where you can have a swim in the sea if you so wish. I was lucky enough to live in Palm Cove for a short time, a truly stunning place to call home and used to pinch myself daily when sat having a coffee down on the esplanade 🌴 #wintergetaway#unforgettableexperiences#couplestrip#café#seasidephotoguide#beautifulhotel#naturalwonders

If you’ve never been to Cairns, you have to go! Far North Queensland can get very hot and sweaty at some times of the year but a recent trip there I found it very comfortable, nice and warm during the day, not too humid but a nice temperature at night to sleep well. The scenery is amazing, the seafood tastes amazing and the laidback lifestyle is refreshing. whether you want to sit around sipping cocktails, go scuba driving on the reef or go exploring in tbe rainforest, Cairns has something for everyone. With one of the 7 wonders of the world on your doorstep, the Great Barrier Reef is easily accessible by boat or helicopter from the marina. if you visit Cairns you have to experience the reefs, truly amazing and unbelievable once you get out there. The food is sensational with all tastes catered for, huge in Seafood but Asian, Greek, American all along the esplanade which is undergoing a transformation. Some great hotels around and everything in walking distance, I thoroughly recommend a visit. #seasidephotoguide

The Daintree is World Heritage listed for very good reasons. it's an awesome experience just being in the rainforest, breathing in the atmosphere, seeing the huge variety of life, it leaves you speechless when a cassowary stops and checks you out, yes, we saw wild cassowaries on different days. And there is a natural ice cream factory never thought ice cream could taste that fresh ! #couplestrip#nationalpark#naturalwonders

Our stay at the Alamanda was excellent. We were guests at the hotel for five nights last week and our entire experience was more than we could have expected. From the time we were checked in by Cedric until he checked us out and everything in-between, we were amazed. We were given an upgrade to a one bedroom suite and were vey happy. The hotel itself is beautiful, well maintained and the beach was great. We only ate at the restaurant once, but no complaints there. By far though, what set the Alamanda apart from all of the places we stayed during our three week trip to Australia was the outstanding service we received from the hotel staff. As previously mentioned, Cedric was a gem. He welcomed us warmly and was always there to assist us from carrying our very heavy luggage to the third floor and back to helping us plan various side trips in the area. His pleasant manner and knowledge of the area was very helpful and very much appreciated. Also, we found the rest of the office Reception staff are extremely accommodating and will go above and beyond to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The selection of 3 pools means there is literally a pool for every visitor type (adult, big pool and heated pool). Amazing location (only hotel that is actually on the beach). Great amenities and free yoga/Pilates. Awesome, spacious apartments. Only improvement could be giving the bathrooms a little more attention for cleanliness. I would return to Alamanda with no hesitation. #themeparks#nationalpark

Almost a 7km return trip, Graded as difficult and can take you up to 5-6 hours to complete however you will be rewarded with 360 degree views of the surrounding landscape. #couplestrip#hiking#love flowers#nationalpark#beautifulsunsets

Wow, what an amazing place to spend half a day, Copper-load Dam is simply stunning. Beautiful scenery and so many nooks and crannies to explore. The pictures don't do it justice, I really enjoyed simply immersing myself in the absolute peace and tranquility. #cairns #couplestrip#hiking#nationalpark#beautifulsunsets
