Eastern Australia Adventure Vacations

Loved it

Very good

Seemless check in, helpful staff, spotless room with great amenities

Very good

The resort just has a beautiful feel to it; surrounded by lush garden, and on the lagoon. Despite being so big, it is very well configured to feel very private and quiet.

Very good

Location was ok but really loud all night and a bar above my room so I needed to move Paid for a king room high floor and then had to pay more on arrival to get a view only to move as it was too loud so paid more and had no sleep zero refund offered which I think you should as I booked 3 people in 3 rooms for 4 days

The Lakes Cairns Resort is a multi-building property where each unit is owned by an individual and some owners agree to place their units in a rental pool which is managed by the overall resort management company. The resort was built beginning in 2000., and we have been staying there off an on for 26 years. The resort was much more vacation-units early on, and currently appears to be mostly long-term renters. The unit we stayed in this trip was unit #710 (Tinaroo building). The unit was in excellent condition and has been fully stocked. We did have one problem with a leaking sink, but the management team addressed right away. The complex is older now, and some of the general site maintenance has been neglected/overdue, and this is mostly noted in the nooks and corners of the property. (former Rambutan restaurant space closed and used for storage, the perimeter fence along the saltwater creek, the former library/gym, oddly, the door to the mechanical room for the lagoon pool are in need of attention. the BBQ's and pools are in good shape, and the decking around the lagoon pool has been re-done. The main pools and common areas are adequately maintained. It should be noted that given Cairns tropical weather, long term care and maintenance can be challenging. The Lakes location is spectacular, and surrounded by lakes, creeks and community parks and trails. Also easy walk to the Esplanade, and easy access to the highway, airport and local shopping/attractions.
