Amazing resort with 3 swimming pools , beautiful flora around ! Also , there is great Thai restaurant on side with very special deserts! Convenient parking. Communication was tricky because office is opened on week days until 5 snd closed on weekends and no one was picking up the phone or responded to property e mail . It is an older propery but maintained very well

The Lakes Resort had very mixed reviews so we were somewhat hesitant...but we needn't have been. Everything was excellent! We booked a 2 bed deluxe unit which was clean and spacious and in good condition. We loved the numerous pool areas and enjoyed the bbq area, tennis court and bocce. Onsite cafe and restaurant open daily and the staff were lovely. An easy 8-10 minute walk to the main road for buses into town. We loved it, would definitely stay again.

We stayed in Morris #517. This is an excellent well appointed, clean and remodeled unit. Some of the common areas have not been as well maintained, and a number of areas are currently being worked on. This is a mix of long term rentals, residents and short term holiday units. The local by the Cultural district is unparalleled in Cairns and makes this a great choice for active folks. the airplanes do land/take off nearby, so if that would be a bother to you please be sure to consider. For us, no worries.

A huge disappointment to return to this resort and find it so changed. More like social housing than a 5 star resort. Noisy, dogs everywhere, limited reception hours and help available, bar and restaurant in resort not open, the best thing about it is the Thai restaurant by reception.

Although our room was great, 1 roll of toilet paper for two adults for 5 days was tight and no office over weekends, we had to buy our own. My family stayed in various rooms throughout the resort and their rooms were really dated and not very good.

コストパフォーマンスの良いコンドミニアム

リビングも寝室もベランダもとても広く，清潔なコンドミニアムでした．プールもきれいで，プールサイドにバーベキュー施設があり，電動でしたので炭などの購入も必要なく，気軽にバーベキューを楽しむことができました．レンタカーでしたのでdowntownへは約５分程度で移動でき，部屋の地下の駐車場にcovered parkingがありました．よく手入れのゆき届いた美しい１つのVillageのような所でした．また宿泊したい施設です．難点は，無料のインターネット(Wi-Fi)が，フロント近くでしか使用できないことと，速度が遅いこと，シャワーが５人目になるとお湯の温度が下がることでしょうか．
