The Lakes was excellent, couldn't fault it. The apartment was spacious with lounge, dining areas, fully equipped kitchenette, washing machine/dryer, and double sinks in the bathroom! Some supplys like milk and juice were supplied for when you arrived. The resort has many pools all clean and not busy when we stayed. There was a few restaurant options with one doing... more

This is by fair the best place I have ecer stayed! We had booked a 1 bedroom apartment for 6 nights and when we arrived we were told that they had to upgrade us to a 2 bedroom apartment so we were very happy with that. It was like we had our own place all week and had 2 pools... more

We spent 4 nights at The Lakes and found the staff to be very friendly. The rooms were a good size but I have to say did smell a bit. You will hear planes flying over but considering the city of cairns is close to the airport I think we would have had this problem anywhere we stayed. Convenient parking... more

The Lakes is like being home, except in a better location (for most of us,) We had a two bedroom apartment and the size of the place was incredible for the price. The staff was absolutely fantastic at helping with any needs, including hauling our luggage up two flights of stairs, calling us cabs, arranging for airport return (free of... more

Just got back from staying at the Lakes Resort , not very impressed with this resort at all, our apartment was very dark and gloomy with the walls painted a dark purple, you had to have the lights on all the time just to see where you were going, the balcony was covered in dirt and was not at all... more

I spent quite some time reading through the many reviews other travellers had submitted after staying at the Lakes and noted that they varied widely in there ratings. I'd like to touch on some of the comments made by some of the more dissatified reviewers, having just stayed and been more than satisfied with what the Lakes offers. Position or... more

We stayed here with some friends for a conference in Cairns. Being out of the city was a disadvantage for us but others would find it ideal. Our room was spacious and clean. The biggest problem with our rooms were that they were located above the pool and the main street. Early morning and late night swimming by other guests... more

We stayed here for one night of our month long trip of a lifetime honeymoon to Australia as we arrived in Cairns early evening and were heading up to Mossman the next day. We stayed in a huge one bedroomed apartment, which was clean and very well equipped. The resort itself was quiet and very well maintained. Even though we... more

This is an unusual facility, in that individuals apparently own apartments that are let for vacationers when not in use. For about the price of a nice hotel, you can get a two-bedroom apartment with a kitchen and laundry facilities. Our unit had an outdoor dinning table that we used every night. It was nice to not have to go... more
