My husband and son have recently returned after spending 2 weeks in Cairns and Trinity Beach..The Lakes did not disappoint and was a very relaxing start to our holiday..and reasonably priced! I could not fault the facilities..(son loved the 4+ pools)..so its in the flight path..we considered this part of the holiday environment and good viewing! Had great eateries (and... more

We had a great experience at The Lakes. We arrived early (10.30am) and were greeted by name and were told our room was already available for us. The room was excellent; clean, tidy, quiet. (Ground floor one bedroom). During our stay we found all the staff to be helpful, the food was good at the Rambutan, pools were lovely, bus... more

The only negative thing about staying here was that it was just for the one night! The Lakes Resort & Spa is a lovely place to stay and extremely good value. The room are practically self contained houses which offer all the amenities and facilities that you require. Everything is spotlessly clean, and the attention to detail across the whole... more

My friend and I stayed in a 2 bedroom apartments with everything anyone could need. A/C, ceiling fans, washer dryer (and detergent) dish washer, full kitchen, tv, spa... more

When we arrived (the entire plane full) it only took us about... more

Unfortunately, we did have a significant problem.... skip to "PROBLEMS" half way down, for details. First, the good stuff... ***ROOMS*** The Lakes is a great... more

This place is a fantastic value..let me start with that. We had a 3 bd apartment for ourselves, the two kids, and the babysitter for $245 a night. There was plenty of room (1100 sq feet) and you could practically fall into the pool from our unit. The furnishings were nice, the kitchen was spacious and had nice appliances and... more

This resort exceeded my expectations and truely places Cairns on the map as a world class travel destination. Having a young family I was a little reluctant to travel this far north (we'd normally stop at the Gold Coast). We were pleasantly surpised with what this resort and Cairns had to offer for the young ones. Our seven year old,... more
