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).
