That it was close to the beach (5 min. walk) there were 2 pools and the surrounds were wonderful. On the negative side we were given an upstairs room which meant that we had to carry heavy suit cases up the stairs ( I am 72 yo, and my wife is 66 it was a struggle) the room was clean, but we noticed ants in the bathroom after 2 days, we cleaned them up but they came back every 2 or 3 days. The oven did not work, as did the clock radio and the wall clock. I think that the microwave was in the wrong place as it was very awkward to to operate. I think that the whole unit needs a make over

Thoughts from kids who love wildlife

There was a wallaby that liked to spend rainy days on our porch. We named her peekaboo. The apartment was great and the wildlife added to the atmosphere. We saw lots of wallabies, lots of birds, and one snake all on the grounds. On our last day we saw a curlew protecting its nest.

Awesome apartment with just about everything you could need, the wifi is not great in the apartment but that didn't really affect us. The location is awesome and the lagoon pool is a dream. Reception were very helpful on the phone and able to let us have our room early which was amazing. Reception wasn't open often but again not a problem for us. Only criticism is it would have been good to have some tea towels and over gloves in the apartment. Lovely place, in a lovely spot with an amazing pool, will be back!

Very disappointed with our unit. It was advertised as a luxury unit but was definitely not luxury. The unit was dirty, had to buy cleaning products to clean the kitchen. All cutlery and crockery had to be put through the dishwasher and then scrubbed to get them clean. Mould in bathroom and vanity cupboard door was hanging off and chipped. Chairs from outdoor setting some of the most uncomfortable we've ever sat on even with cushions. Bedside and wardrobe drawers were dirty and had hair in them that we had to clean out. Shower over bath very dangerous to step in and out of. No grab handle, had to use taps and shower screen to steady ourselves. Had to buy a bath mat as bath was slippery. We shouldn't have to clean our holiday unit before we can enjoy our holiday. Little or no noise dampener between floors, could hear everything from very noisy upstairs neighbours. I could go on but probably not enough room.

Have come back twice to stay at this gorgeous resort. The wildlife the pool the tropical feel is so incredible. It’s not over the top which lets you enjoy the warmth of your surrounds and experience. It’s family friendly and close to cairns and port Douglas . I will be returning here for many yrs to come . The family units are spacious and comfortable.

Comfortable apartment

Good sized apartment that was clean and well presented. The wallabies in the garden were a nice bonus. My only real gripe would be it would have been nice to have some kitchen basics (cooking oil, salt etc) at the property.
