“The resort certainly capitalizes on its prime location near both the Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest, though some rooms could benefit from more thoughtful design; I noted several comments about storage and layout issues in certain apartments. Its lagoon-style pool and proximity to Palm Cove beach are pluses, while the full kitchens and laundry in each unit support longer, family-style stays. Overall, the location is its strongest asset.”
