Odkryj pobyt w mieście Kewarra Beach

The location of the hotel is slightly off, but the hotel's own environment is good, the swimming pool is very suitable for children to splash around. The room is spacious, the kitchen in the room is fully equipped, and it is very convenient to cook for yourself. Free parking is available.

We just spent a fantastic week at the Alamanda. Before we arrived they arranged transport for us from (and to) the Cairns airport through Exemplar, an excellent shuttle service. A small discount is applied to the transport charge when the Alamanda makes the booking. From arrival and check in until we reluctantly said goodbye, every staff member including Kiley the manager were helpful and friendly. The kitchen/living area of our oceanfront one bedroom suite (#35) was on the top floor with our spacious en suite bedroom, and a second bathroom with shower, on the floor below. The furnishings are modern, there is Miele equipment in the kitchen and laundry, and the entire place was immaculately clean. The wonderful view from our big balcony took in the beach, palm trees, and one of the three swimming pools. The main pool was being renovated but unlike other reviewers, we never heard any construction noise from it. There was an occasional sound or two from what was probably routine maintenance or minor construction, but it was never a nuisance. The Alamanda is at the end of the main street that runs along the beach and is situated such that the street turns before it passes in front of the side of the building where our suite was located. As far as we could tell this was the only accommodation in Palm Cove that didn’t have the street between it and the beach, so no traffic noise. It is a short walk to the many restaurants, bars, and shops on the main street (DO NOT miss the restaurant Vivo - see separate review). Restaurant La Mesa at the Mantra is very good and gives a discount to Accor members, but only if you have your Accor card with you. There is a small well-stocked grocery store very near Alamanda, and a short distance past the store is the Palm Cove Tavern and bottle shop. Gabi in the office were eager to help us sort out an excursion to Kuranda via the historic train from Freshwater, and back down the mountain via cable car. One tour was based from Cairns which would have required us to pay separately for transport to the train station and back from the cable car station. Upon looking at the many brochures in the office we found a brochure for Brett’s one-day Kuranda tour that originates in Port Douglas with a pick up in Palm Cove, eliminating the need to pay for separate transport. It pays to look closely at the brochures. Gabi booked our tour with Brett’s excellent tour (see separate review) and the charge was put on our room. We have told friends and family about our wonderful stay here and some of them are already planning their visits. We will definitely be back!

The Cairns trip was arranged for 7 days, 5 days spent in urban recreation and strolling, and 2 days came to Palm Cove, a seaside hotel suitable for leisure. The hotel has a large swimming pool and a gym. Because I learned that the hotel is equipped with kitchen utensils, but there is no large shopping supermarket nearby, I bought some beef and lamb chops, vegetables, eggs and rice in the supermarket in Cairns before coming to Palm Cove. Friends who don't like to cook can go to the beachfront street to eat, very close, it is a little expensive. Also suitable for taking children, need to be reminded that there may be jellyfish at the beach, pay attention to safety. In addition, from the Cairns city to Palm Cove, if you do not have a lot of luggage, you can choose to take the bus, you can also take a taxi, a little expensive about 100 Australian dollars.

It was about $70 by taxi from Cairns city to Palm Cove. Four suitcases and three adults can easily travel by taxi. However, it takes about 30 minutes, so you may want to rent a car to make your 3-night stay smoother. Mantra amphora was the best. The beach was right in front of us and the pool was very comfortable to spend time in. Although there is a liquor store in Palm Cove, there is no large supermarket, so it is recommended that you purchase ingredients elsewhere. I think it depends on the room, but it was on the 3rd floor, but there are stairs. The room didn't get a lot of sunlight, so there were some small insects that grew up in the humidity, but it wasn't a big problem. The bathtub was larger than that, and the room was spacious and comfortable, but the extra bed was an air bed, and it was deflating day by day lol. The sofa was spacious so that wasn't really an issue either. The location is perfect. I was there in September, thinking it was summer, but the weather was cool enough that I didn't sweat.

As an older couple we usually wait a few days to allow the holiday euphoria to subside before writing a review. Our opinion of our 10 day holiday at The Reef House Hotel in Palm Cove has not diminished. The Reef House is the older colonial style of hotel we love. It is very welcoming, comfortable and homely but has modern facilities. The meals are top quality and exceptionally well presented. We could not find fault with any of the wonderful staff or the services which were provided with a smile every time both before and during our stay. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble – like providing some new tackle for the fishing rods that are available free to use or helping to work out the combination lock on the free bikes. The on –site wellness centre is a wonderful addition. The fact that guests must be over 16 years old to stay meant that we could enjoy peace and quiet during meals in the wonderful open dining area or around the two pools and spas. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we are organising our return for next year.
