Top Palm Cove Beach Hotel Reviews

Drift Palm Cove

10/10 Excellent

"Pool and hot tub are very nice."

The Reef Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"Location and quiet"

Alamanda Palm Cove by Lancemore

8/10 Good

"Fabulous on the beach location. We were lucky enough to have a beachside apartment (shame we were only there for one night!). The room was huge with everything you would need to cater yourself for the stay, including a massive fridge, dishwasher and the all important washing machine and dryer. Two things to note; 1. When you check in, stick the car in one of the semi-circles along the road. You will be given a tag for the car park and the internal staircases too. 2. There are no lifts at this property. We’re late middle aged and struggled with our largest suitcase s we needed the both of us to lift it up and down the three sets of stairs from the apartment to the car park."

Belle Escapes Beach Manor

10/10 Excellent

"My family and I thoroughly enjoyed here. The bedrooms and living areas were comfortable and spacious. The outdoor living area and pool provided a wonderful place to relax outside. Great views and easy access to the beach. It was just a short walk to all of the restaurants and activities in Palm Cove. We would definitely stay here again!"

Temple Studio Room 215 Palm Cove

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay. Apartment was clean and had a good balcony. Resort and lagoon pool are excellent."

Pullman Palm Cove Sea Temple Resort and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The staff we checked in with were amazing. Our luggage had been left behind at Melbourne airport and the staff were so accommodating and helped us with supplies of amenities that we needed while we waited for our luggage to arrive. The staff"

Temple Suite 232 Palm Cove

8/10 Good

"We were moved to an upgraded room after spending one night in an inadequate room. At all stages of booking to check in and enquires, the host was responsive and accommodating. We had a lovely stay after being moved. We strongly urge whoever owns Temple Suite 232 to address the rampant mould issue on the ceiling to address the issue as the room smelled strongly of it and was unbearable/not healthy to sleep in. Other than that, we are happy with our experience."

Villa Beach Palm Cove

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing location the beach is right at your doorstep. Great staff great setup highly recommend "

Palm Cove 2 bedroom new built with large heated spa

10/10 Excellent
