Frommer's Review

Set behind a grove of melaluca trees across the street from the beach, the main hotel in this resort, which opened in late 2002, has rooms and apartments with touches of Queensland colonial style. Hotel rooms are small but have Jacuzzis and timber outdoor furniture on the decks. Eight penthouses (three floors up) have private rooftop terraces and pools, but there's no elevator. A further 25 penthouses have Jacuzzis. The large lagoon-style pool has a sandy beach and swim-up bar. Coconut palms with white-painted trunks surround the lagoon, which is lit by flaming torches at night. A "resort within the resort," the Serenity Wing, has 42 suites and a private rainforest pool. The suites are secluded, with kitchens, gas barbecues, washers and dryers, and state-of-the-art entertainment units, including DVDs and flatscreen televisions. Pampering awaits you at the Sanctum Spa, which has seven wet and dry treatment rooms and offers yoga classes as well as beauty and massage treatments for both men and women. If you are staying 5 nights or more at full rates and want to arrive in style, order the free limousine or Rolls-Royce transfers from Cairns Airport to Palm Cove. For guests staying 3 nights or more, the room rate includes coach transfers to the airport.

Facilities:
4 restaurants; 3 outdoor pools; golf course nearby; tennis court; gym; spa; concierge; tour desk; nonsmoking rooms
