Having read all the reviews no-one, not one person, has mentioned Cairns airport which is situated a few hundred yards away from the hotel !!! At 5.30am you have a plane taking off in your bedroom, the next is at 6.00am and another at 6.05am. It's enough to drive you absolutely insane. Now maybe the wind was blowing in the... more

We (myself, husband, and two young children) have just returned from a stay at the Lakes Cairns Resort, and I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone with a family. The rooms were very clean and spacious, and the pool and surroundings were just fantastic. We had a two bedroom deluxe room (two bathrooms) and would recommend these. It was overlooking... more

Our family of 4 stayed at the lakes for a week in a 2 bedroom apartment. It was after 5 days in Sydney and it added to the wonderful experience we had in Sydney. Upon arrival the front desk workers were great and they drove us to our room explaining everything and giving us a tour of the facilities. When... more

We stayed for 7 nights in Moondarra block, in a well appointed 2 bedroom unit with kitchen, laundry, 2 bathrooms, balcony overlooking the beach style pool which is attractively lit all night. We agree with every other review read to date about the quality decor, family amenities, gardens, pools, restaurants (expensive) etc. so I will not repeat this. However........ our... more

The apartment was unbelievably clean, fully stocked and spacious. It has every possible kitchen ammenity I could think of or use. The laundry faclities were great and well stocked which was... more
