Alamanda Palm Cove by Lancemore

Palm Cove

10/10 Excellent

This is a great hotel in a great location. It is a small, quaint town. We had a wonderful time in Palm Cove. The only downside was that the jacuzzi was warm, not hot. For some reason, the jacuzzi and pool attached to it were heated to the same temperature. The hotel is right on the beach and the views are spectacular. One small note is that a sign informs visitors that swimming is not allowed from November to May (jelly fish).

We enjoyed a wonderful 3 nights at Tropical Nites and would highly recommend this property. The apartment was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. The location was great for us, as it is just a 10 minute walk to the beach and an enjoyable 15 minute walk to town. There was also easy free parking in town for the times we chose to drive. The managers were super helpful before and after our stay in giving us information and booking tours. We hope to be back one day!
