Dunk Island Ski Vacations

We stayed for two nights in August, we were there for a Great Barrier Reef tour, so didn’t spend much time in the hotel itself or using the amenities. We got an uber from the airport, there were taxis and Ubers available quite readily. Staff were beyond helpful and friendly on arrival, a real credit to the hotel. We arrive at around 10am and the room was ready and they gave us the key, they said they upgraded us, but I couldn’t tell what the difference was? The room size maybe? We were ground floor by the pool, and people could see in the doors from their loungers. You can also hire ‘beach towels’ ($5) but I would argue the size of them was questionable for that! The room was very clean and large but felt dated. It suited what we needed it for however, but if we were there longer I think that we would have been disappointed. Very close to the beach, a selection of restaurants and a corner shop for essentials, the staff told us how to get to the shops via bus, so we got some supplies. There is a tv in the room, plus some kitchen equipment which was helpful, we only used the fridge however. I did have to move the temperature of that to cold when we arrived, as someone had it running on its highest, which was close to warm, so check that when you arrive. Would we stay again - yes, it was value for money, but only if it were for a couple of days. The hotel is well located, the beach is beautiful and the grounds seemed well maintained.

Staff were very friendly, helpful and professional. Food was magnificent and we’ll definitely be coming back again. Great place to stay and highly recommended.

We loved our beach-side unit Alamanda stay - view from the balcony over the lovely gardens & wedding chapel to the Coral Sea was magic. Upper level recommended (we were glad we weren't at ground level as views restricted by shrubbery & less privacy). Downside for upper level are stairs to climb - no lifts at Alamandra. Not a problem for us but would severely impact anyone with mobility issues).

Great stay in central Cairns. Friendly and welcoming staff, large room in good order. I would definitely recommend this property.

Nice and close to the city and easy to get around.

The 3 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment was clean, well appointed and well located. Very spacious unit with everything you would need and beautiful ocean views from the large deck.

Dirty, filthy, unhealthy, bad communication Very bad experience, I booked from Expedia, the booking said I have to contact Edge apartments to confirm, called a couple of times and no answer and you can not leave a message, When we arrived , there is no one in the reception but this is nothing to what we found inside the apartment. Dirt, dust, mould, spider webs on the windows, stained pillows and to top it all moving bugs on the beds, we couldn't even stay for few minutes, when we tried to contact the manager, again no answer and can not leave a message, I then sent a text message to which he replies that he and another staff had cleaned the apartment earlier in the morning, if that was cleaned, I can't imagine how dirty was it. I don't understand how this place has a 4 star , do yourself a favour and don't book there, finally, they didn't refund us any money. I discovered I was not the first review on how bad these apartments are and certainly will not be the last.

We stayed at Sea Temple managed by Elysium. Very helpful friendly checkin procedure provided by Stacie at Elysium. Lovely location property backs on to the beach. Walking distance to restaurants and main part of Palm Cove.
