Babinda Vacations from ￥248,064

We spent 4 nights at the Lakes resort Cairns. The resort overall is beautiful and the 4 pools are very nicely done. It is also conveniently located between the airport and the main Cairns city. In terms of the apartment, the size is quite appropriate and the amenities are all in place and good working condition. However, we did notice a lack of cleanliness with cob webs handing from the ceilings. The security case had a manual key which we had to collect from reception the next day. And the key didnt work. We would expect to see an electronic case in most such places now. The reception timings are quite difficult 8am to 5.30pm (but probably this is the case for all resorts in Cairns). For those on a holiday, by the time your activity finishes, there is no one at the reception to help out. They do have a 24 hr call center but its hardly of any help. For eg, someone parked his car at my allocated space and I complained to the call center but not much luck. Also the reception is closed over the weekend which is quite a hassle if you are checking in anytime between Friday evening to Sunday evening. Overall we had a good time, but we do believe certain advancements in the apartments and overall processes would definitely go a long way in realising the full potential of this beautiful property.

We loved this townhouse, so spacious and close enough to walk to the esplanade restaurants. Playground down the road for the kids made it a handy location for us

Great location a bit disappointing being there for a week they didn't replenish tea and coffee also didn't supply shampoo as most places we stayed did.

Greg's welcome was lovely and he made himself available to check me in late due to a delayed flight. The apartment is lovely. I was able to cook in the kitchen which was fantastic. I would definitely recommend this property and host. Julia

Very close to all amenities.
