My husband and I stayed here for a period of two weeks in May 2009. It is a small resort. It was a spacious clean self contained apartment that had everything that we needed or wanted. The resort is set in beautiful garden with a lovely landscaped pool with its own spa jets - very nice. Our hosts Margaret and... more

Having lived in the tropics for thirty years I expected things that sting , bite and generally annoy while staying at Palm Cove ;a worthwhile trade off when compared to the driving blizzard we left in England.But this wasn't the case,no stings or bites and we had no need to resort to sprays of any kind over our two week... more

What a view, right on the esplanade! Manager Margaret is a delight, friendly, informative and gracious. Rooms are spotless, with up to date appliances, although a bigger bed would be great! Everything is within walking distance and for a relaxing stay, at a reasonable price this property is just wonderful... we will return.. more

With my husband and 3 other couples, I spent a week in the Cairns area in February 2009. Initially we had booked just a few nights at the Melaleuca Resort, but we found Palm Cove to be a perfect location, and the Melaleuca such a gem, that we stayed our entire week there. Palm Cove is a quiet, charming and... more

Sorry, but we really loved this place.... one of the best accommodations we had in our month long stay in Australia. Apartment was very clean, loved having a kitchen and laundry facilities in the unit. Absolutely loved the pool and used it a far amount because the jelly fish were in season and we found the beach swimming area closed... more

We found the accommodation clean and comfortable and well equipped, with a great view over the tropical pool and beach. Palm Cove is a great resort, there are... more

We found the Melaleuca after some travelers we had met at a B&B in Sydney recommended it to us. At the time we were staying in a horrible hotel in Cairns and needed a relaxing vacation full of sunshine, white sandy beaches and great food. Palm Cove was just that. The Melaleuca is centrally located along the Esplanade in the... more

We were booked into the Melaleuca Resort by our travel agent for three nights in December 2008 as part of our month long trip of a lifetime honeymoon to Australia. According to our travel agent, Melaleuca Resort is four-star accommodation (and it would seem that we paid above average prices to stay there) so we were expecting a certain standard.... more

It was our round the world honeymoon stay and we chose this place as ranked #1 in tripadvisor.com. I totally agree, although we had tiny little ants in the kitchen... The apartment was on 2nd fl, plenty of space and totally newly equipped. It faced the sea through the garden, and we could see the beautiful swiming pool, which we... more
