Clean room with all necessary amenities.
I like that the property is not situated on the main drag.
Pool and poolside amenities are fabulous.
Secure, undercover parking is great.
No onsite interaction with staff members.

We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay in Palm Cove Tropic Apartments. The location was quiet and easy to find and close to dining options and the beach. The pool was a wonderful social and refreshing point at the end of each day. We loved our time there.

We were very happy with our stay.
Perhaps the pool didn't get a lot of sun but that wasn't a big worry.
A lovely time.

Great to return after 7 years to palm cove tropical apartments and to find they still have the ambience I remembered. Room was comfortable. Loved the closeness the the beach and the restaurants with the pub being 100 m away. Bus stop nearby should a trip to the supermarket or çairns be needed.
Management was ready to assist when the tv wouldn't operate and after attempt at remediation got a new tv provided. Pool was great. Yes it does have leaves but it's surrounded by magnificent melaleuca trees and they do drop leaves. The room.looked a bit tired but was still more than adequate. Good place to stay when in Palm Cove.
