Amazing resort with 3 swimming pools , beautiful flora around ! Also , there is great Thai restaurant on side with very special deserts! Convenient parking. Communication was tricky because office is opened on week days until 5 snd closed on weekends and no one was picking up the phone or responded to property e mail . It is an older propery but maintained very well

The number of pools and variance was excellent. However, the property is showing its age and needs maintenance inside (washers etc) and outside (cracked tiles, paint and repair on eaves)

We booked 2BR. When we arrived we think wow nice place. Pool was nice. But day after we felt not resort more like residency place.. So many cars parked around the bilding and car park was really tight. The breakfast was really tasty but only one person run the shop and our last day morning he was sick so we couldnt get.and we didn't konw until we got there.No one let us knew shop was closed. It was a bid sad. But we can get refund is good .. Overall room was nice,location is nice. Receptionist was nice. It was good experience.

The Lakes Resort had very mixed reviews so we were somewhat hesitant...but we needn't have been. Everything was excellent! We booked a 2 bed deluxe unit which was clean and spacious and in good condition. We loved the numerous pool areas and enjoyed the bbq area, tennis court and bocce. Onsite cafe and restaurant open daily and the staff were lovely. An easy 8-10 minute walk to the main road for buses into town. We loved it, would definitely stay again.

Needing a little attention to detail the ground floor apartment. Strange hidden ( main) bathroom .. so hidden it wasn't found by cleaners ...we found un cleaned .. towels strewn on floor etc. Get rid of that lounge room door that hides it. Basic lounge furniture .. often the case. The apartment opposite second floor ? we went through a " host" - we stayed last time - $50 more per night but it was really lovely. Anyway for $250 it was functional and looked out onto the lovely pool and spacious .. what we needed with visiting family that live in Trinity Beach. Also close to township and airport.

I booked a spa room because i wanted a spa but it did not work. There was no plug, the water wouldn't come out the bath spout and the jets did not work. Otherwise the room was nice, clean and comfortable.

Although our room was great, 1 roll of toilet paper for two adults for 5 days was tight and no office over weekends, we had to buy our own. My family stayed in various rooms throughout the resort and their rooms were really dated and not very good.

The property was great, and very well maintained. We had opted to stay in an apartment with a kitchen as we were travelling with children. Our back door led to a shallow pool perfect for the little ones, and the rooms were big and clean. Pillows were not great but you expect that from hotels, but staying at a place specifically with a kitchen, you'd expect more than a single serve small pot and half size fry pan to cook with. Despite having a full kitchen it was half stocked with utensils, a bit of a pain.

Third day into 6 day stay the hot water service went cold Was told by Kurt 0429 783 640 that we can't get a plumber on a Sunday My quick search on internet found first 6 plumbing companies in Cairns has a 24/7 call out service Then after asking again on Monday was told sorry couldn't get a plumber today as well No hot water for rest of stay

The resort is quite and nice. The appartment was a bit old , out of fashion to my opinion. the reception is open from 9am to 5pm only and closed on weekends. But the real disaster is the breakfast. Don't take the breakfast, as the cafe opens at 8am (even few minutes later), which is useless in Cairns as most of the usual tours (reef, daintree, kuranda) starts earlier. I don't understand why it does not start earlier?!? So we paid the breakfast for 5 days and were not able to have it for 3 days. Moreover, in the 2 days when we decided to try to take the breakfast quickly, it was so slow (45 minutes waiting while there were nobody else in the cafeteria !!!). A complete disaster. I have called and sent several mails to the management to be refunded as nowhere was indicated that the breakfast started at 8am only (which is incredibly late for a hospitality structure, especially in Cairns), and they did not even take the time to answer me. A complete mockery of the customer.

This is not a HOTEL. The reception is only open limited hours during the week and closed during weekends. Check-in is not a problem as they leave your keys and map in a lockbox outside the main door, but if you need anything there is no one you can talk to. The big red button outside the main door (suggested for after hours call) doesn't haver a real service active. it just points you to a number in your receipt? there are other numbers stuck outside the main door, but they do not answer. After checking out on a Sunday morning, I needed to store my luggage a few hours before my flight, I had to make multiple international calls trying to reach someone without success. eventually, I was lucky to spot the manager walking inside the hall, from the outside. He gladly accepted to take my bag. He even gave me his number to text or call him and we agreed upon a time for me to retrieve my bag, he told me he was going home but he would come back when I texted him. When I reached out during the day he didn't answer for over 30 minutes. Eventually I was able again to spot someone walking inside but they could not open the main door from the inside, Luckly the manager answered their phone calls and they gave me my bag. In the meantime other guests needed to check in but they forgot to put the keys inside the lockbox outside. All of This was on a Sunday before 2pm. These are services you normally expect from a Hotel with a reception.
