Had the best stay at The Reef Retreat. My apartment was perfect. I'd have breakfast there that I cooked myself before exploring Palm Cove and the local attractions. Jim at reception would book anything you'd like to including transport. After exploring Palm Cove, Cairns the reef or where you went. You come home to relax before treating your self to the local restaurants. Having such prime location is amazing. After a long I'd go for a dip in the heated pool and hot tub spa. Amazing atmosphere. My favourite place, I'll be back.

The pool as a Sectional temperature. The grounds were quiet. The room was large, open and had a beautiful atmosphere. I highly recommend selecting VIP option for this stay.

We had 4 nights here recently and really enjoyed our stay. Jim on reception was very welcoming and friendly. As we had flown from Adelaide on the 6am flight we were very pleased to be able to access our room early so we could start our relaxing holiday.
The property is older but everything was clean and well maintained. The bed was very comfortable.
It was in a great position close to the beach and restaurants.
Water pressure in the shower was a bit feeble but adequate.
We would definitely book this property again on our next visit to palm cove.

Perfect location and space to stay for a quick getaway. The room was set up nicely for what we needed with a bed, bathroom and convenient outdoor cooking space and area. The pool was close to the room and a lovely spot to relax

Customer service was disrespectful and the service person at the front desk was rude and impolite.
Rooms were nice apart from the service person when checking in and out was very disrespectful and rude. Will not be staying here again.

Lovely setting
The Reef Retreat setting is very nice and tranquil. The only drawback for us was our room was a top floor one. We had lots of suitcases due to our cruise before we disembarked in Cairns. The location is very good and close to many restaurants. The room was comfortably and had everything we needed.

A lovely place to stay. Very leafy and calm with a fabulous outdoor kitchen on our balcony. We had a spa room and it was very spacious.

Good room quiet paths were the only issue as they were very uneven so had to watch where you walked

We loved our stay — the apartment was comfortable and well planned, and the trees in the central court provided shade and coolness. Will come again.
