Guest Reviews
- lynne (8/5): - bathroom needs an update, shower not very good.
Hotplates didnt work.
- Lenai (10/5): -
- Tahnee (8/5): -
- Garcia (9/5): Very comfortable and relaxing - We really enjoyed our stay. It ticks all the boxes for a relaxing holiday—from a very comfortable bed to short walks to the beach and nearby restaurants, as well as great amenities such as the spa, pools, and tennis court.
The staff are very friendly; even when the office isn’t staffed, they respond to calls quickly if you have any concerns or questions.
- Deborah (7/5): We were comfortable and happy with the accommodation. Apartment was large and clean. - It was located where we needed to be, it was clean and comfortable Couldn’t find rubbish bins outside unit to dispose of rubbish. Toilet in ensuite made a terrible noise when refilling after flushing. Washing machine left marks on clothes.
- Jo-Ann (8/5): -
- Angela (9/5): -
- Rimal (9/5): - Spacious and privacy Stairs
- Bryan (10/5): Great apartment for your Cairns stay! - We had originally booked a different location in the area and it did not meet our expectations. Thankfully we were able to swtich to Marlin Cove which was a huge upgrade. We were very thankful it was available.
- Barry (9/5): Great place! - Local wallabies said hi No issues
- David (9/5): Marlin Cove Resort - Everything we required was there, nice apartment and furniture, short walk to cafes, bars, brewery, beach. Close to attractions. Loved the wallabies! Lovelly pool and gardens. Sauna was out of action when we stayed.
- Kellie (8/5): - The cleanliness was good and also the location We only got 1 small bin bag for the week
- Adam (8/5): -
- lynn (10/5): Lovely stay over Christmas holidays, the apartment was lovely - Beautiful clean unit with everything needed in there , great location with everything nearby Nothing to dislike about the property

- FITZGERALD (10/5): -
- Tracey (6/5): -
- Leonard (10/5): Trinity Beach Jewel - A great location 17klm North of Cairns.. The apartment is set in a large resort close to shops and the beach 500 metres away. Public transport via a Bus which runs hourly to Cairns which we caught. Everything was provided in the apartment with ceiling fans and air-conditioning. A lap pool and large lagoon pool are within the property to use. A good range of restaurants cafes and hotel are on the esplanade facing the beach. The town has a relaxed vibe and its less touristy and more locals. We found everything fantastic
- Wayne (7/5): Relaxing. Enjoyed Trinty Beach and what it offers - Great location. Unit overlooked pool. Quite spacious for 2 peopl. eVery nice aspect. Close to beach and restaurants Perhaps a little dated but....
- Alisha (10/5): -
- Doris (9/5): Lovely resort in nice area - Well equipped apartment & good pools in nice surroundings. Lots of restaurants within walking distance. Quieter area but busier towns within easy reach. Front door handle easily reached by escapee toddler - no separate locking mechanism 🤣. Plug seemed to be missing for bath.
- Kristine (9/5): - Everything easy access, location, cleanliness, swimming pool. The size of the car parking with a bigger vehicle was a tight fit
- Jo (10/5): We’ll definitely be back - Had everything we needed for our stay, lovely quiet area & beautiful view of the rainforest at the back door & local wildlife. Walking distance to the beach & restaurants. Only issue we had was a strange lady with her cat walking through the front garden & standing at our front door throughout our stay.
- Samy (10/5): - Top class accommodation.
Modern and very clean. No hairdresser!
- Judith (8/5): -
- Joel (9/5): -
- Lee (9/5): Good, clean and comfortable holiday unit. BBQ areas were good and clean. - Clean and comfortable. Good location. Had all you need in the unit. Not enough outside rubbish bins. No extra bin bags supplied.
- Shirley (10/5): Absolutely amazing - Clean, great location, quiet, 2 pools and tennis court and lots of nature yet 2 mins from beach Nothing
- Natalie (10/5): -
- David (8/5): - Location, clean, amenities Lack of body wash, sugar, a chux wipe cut in half to clean surfaces?
- Peter (10/5): -
- Sarah (8/5): Our stay wasn’t great , but that was due to illness , nothing to do with the apartments - Fully equipped for our needs
- Penny (9/5): Great for families, quiet location. - Great location, loved the lagoon pool and the heated lap pool. Apartment was modern, clean and spacious for a family of 4. The complex was nice and quiet, although we did hear our neighbours walking around above but it wasn’t an issue. Netflix and other streaming services didn’t work on either tv. Lucky we brought our Amazon fire stick with us.
One bin bag for a medium sized bin for 6 days wasn’t enough so we had to buy bin bags.
Oven trays would have been handy.
- Michelle (9/5): A great place to recharge your batteries. - The place was spotless. A short stroll from Trinity Beach.
- Boyd (9/5): Relaxing and comfortable stay near the beach. - This is a great property, very quiet, good facilities with pools and a tennis court, set near a small bush area where wallabies emerge from in the morning coming right up to our apartment. Short walk to a variety of restaurants and a short drive to Palm Cove, Cairns, the airport and the rain forest areas. Would absolutely stay again. Minimal supply of basics like dishwasher powder - enough for three uses when we were staying four nights.
- Christopher (8/5): Perfect vacation rental - Great facilities for kids or adults alike. Tennis courts, two pools, short walk to get a morning coffee at the beach, wildlife, etc.
The accommodation was a fully furnished apartment so was well suited to a family vacation. That said, it wasn’t overrun with children and families. A couple could easily enjoy a getaway here.
Trinity Beach is a great location to access most attractions. Port Douglas is a 40min drive which gets you access to the GB reef, Kuranda is 10mins away, Cairns about 25mins. Beach has nets to protect from the crocs and stingers. Could be useful to have a brochure in the apartment that overviewed the facilities, local attractions etc.
- Annee (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ellen (10/5): Perfect family get away with great pool and great location - Pool was great - kids loved the sand. Our apartment was perfectly located across from the pool which made life easier. Apartment was also super clean which I love - I’m a bit of a clean freak and I felt very comfortable in this space. We also loved spotting kangaroos around the property and how close it was to the main strip of shops/restaurants (a short 6min walk). Self check-in and out was super easy.
- Ben (9/5): Superb -
- Peter (10/5): Very satisfied with the way the unit was presented, good location, easy to find will stay there again should I visit Cai - Clean very well equiped Everything was great
- Jack (10/5): Exceptional - It was very easy, we were able to check in two hours early!
- Caroline (10/5): The apartment is modern and very comfortable with nice little finishing touches with a balcony that overlooks the lap - The apartment is spacious,beautifully decorated & very clean
- Renee (10/5): We will definitely be back there, our trip was so relaxing! - Pools and grounds were great. Booking staff were lovely too Nothing, we had a lovely stay
- Marie (10/5): Ideal family holiday location highly recommend - Everything the location and facilities were fantastic the pools, tennis court and gardens were excellent Everything was perfect great hosts
- Dorothy (10/5): My stay at marlin resort trinity beach was a very present beau - Everything about this resort is the best holiday apartments I've been to in the state. Everything was beautifully clean. All facilities available for our use was great. The managers are very caring and go above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable. On the second day the washing machine broke and the managers went out and bought another one for me that very day. As my son needed his jersey to play sport that week. I LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT MARLIN RESORT
- Mateki (7/5): Great location for Trinity Beach stay. - The location was great as it was walking distance to Trinity Beach and all its facilities. Also liked the 2nd pool set up with the sand and BBQ facilities. Very convenient and safe if you have young ones. It was really hard to read the number of the unit we had as we had an after hours check in.
The unit we had was very tired in decor, and a few things were not working well - a fan in master bedroom, internet, and blinds in the living room.
- Alissa (8/5): Very good -
- Anthony (3/5): Poor - Your mattress in the main room is the worst mattress I tried to sleep on, when your on holiday you expect a comfortable bed, however the mattress you expect your customers to sleep on is like laying on a concrete floor, my body is so sore from that bed... terrible change the mattress and have repeat customers until this happens you have lost me and I'm probably not the first...lift your game!
- Jill (10/5): Fabulous - Facilities at the resort are excellent. I couldn’t turn in the stove in the apartment and the instructions were not in the drawer with all the other instruction manuals.
- Natasha (8/5): Very good -
- Dave_mitch (10/5): Great location and value for money - The pools are beautiful and we ate outside and used the outdoor BBQ, amazing. Nothing big and worth mentioning. The host was very helpful and responsive.
- Nik (8/5): overall we loved our stay. Will definately be back - This is the second time we have stayed here.
The grounds and lagoon pool are lovely. My kids loved the wallabies jumping around. We visited at a quiet time which was great. The residents we met were very friendly The pool wasn't as clean as it has been in the past, there were alot of dead bugs floating in it.
Also wifi was sketchy and tv couldn't connect.
- Robyn (8/5): Very good -
- Mark (9/5): Superb - I didn't order breakfast. The facilites were excellent/
- Brendon (8/5): Worth the stay going back , booked 2025 - Outstanding place for value, close walk to the main street and beach front. Loved the big pool. Some not so down to earth people staying there.
- Debra (10/5): Highly recommend this resort! - It was comfortable and clean with good facilities in the apartment and beautiful garden surroundings.
- William (9/5): Superb -
- Jacinta (9/5): Great pool. Clean, tidy, easy, everything you need. - Pool area was great for kids. Love the lagoon style pool. Pool area could use some additional seating. There was only enough chairs for one family when we visited so has to sit in the bbq area. Property lights were quite bright through the night through the blinds but understand there’s not much to do about that.
- Beta (6/5): Attention to details needed - Location was fantastic. Pool looked beautiful, but water was cold. So was the spa !
Charming with wallabies roaming the gardens
Parking ok too. Unit was mostly comfortable. Kitchen well equipped. Laundry facilities were good. Very good fridge. Stylish furniture inside.
But bad looking plastic plants. Balcony furniture was daggy, greasy and uncomfortable and no cushions were there for the old wooden chairs. We used bedroom blankets to sit on and couch pillows. What a mess. The plastic plants were daggy. There was a dishwasher but no dishwashingtablets..I mean just give us a handful to start with! No spare garbage bags either. Dining table and decorative mat were greasy and not cleaned. Dishwasher washing wings blocked with foods scraps. Unhygenic and not a good wash. Big problem with reception being closed and unmanned for the entire stay. A contact phone number on the reception door is NOT good enough. There were 2 different keys given but no info what the second smaller key was for.
I would recommend some smarter cushioned and comfortable garden furniture on the balcony .and some nicer plantings on balcony to compliment the beautiful pool area. And some mood lighting out there for the evenings.
It could just be so much nicer, and the unit doesn't deserve to be dragged down by an uncomfortable balcony outfit.
The water temperature in both showers were near impossible to adjust and keep steady. You couldn't risk having a child shower there for risk of scolding. Needs urgent attention.
We would have told all this to the reception attendant...if there had been one there!! I
And how about heating the outdoor spa for a nicer dip, especially at night
The second bedroom smelled dusty. A suitcase stand or low unit would have been nice for our mature backs.
Despite above observations I would consider booking here again , but I really hope my feedback is taken into consideration.
- Julia (10/5): Exceptional - Great presentation. Quiet. Undercover parking. Close to the beach. ALL GOOD.
- David (5/5): Really enjoyable but our enjoyment would have been better with some thought been what makes a good r - The apartment itself was fine and very clean and tidy. Of the facilities provided we only used the pool and that was fine and very enjoyable. The provision of kitchen and bathroom cleaner would ensure that the cleanliness of the apartment could be maintained during a stay. There we no oven trays so it was difficult to make full use of the oven. The can opener provided was old and would not open cans. The office was never open so access to relevant travel and tourism information was not available at the resort.
- Joanne (6/5): Great location but beds not up to our liking. - beds had no support and were way too soft
- Julia (9/5): Superb - Good facilities in room
Kids loved the pools
Would stay again Early check out
- Mark (7/5): Nice stay and location but the cost cutting gone too far, no people, no cleaning, too many signs. - Trinity Beach location is good, easy walk to beach and facilities. Pool was nice. Hard to rate the staff when their wasn't any. The entire facility seemed unstaffed meaning all the cleaning was put back on the guest. cleaning, drying and putting away dishes etc, rubbish disposal etc. This was easy but felt like cost cutting gone too far.
Too many signs with threatening parking rules, towing etc. understandable but overbearing. Feels like signs have replaced people.
- Sandra (8/5): it was good. - the Pool area and the people who looked after us. it is a bit 80s style.
- Cassie (8/5): Very good -
- Christina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andreas (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment looked brand new and was super clean. Extra bed was provided free of charge. Quite area with a short walk to the beach. -
- Olga (10/5): Very happy highly recommended - Clean , beautiful view, very quiet area No comment
- Gillian (9/5): Very relaxing quiet resort in a great location. Would stay again if every visiting Trinity Beach. - Location was great close to shops and restaurants a very peaceful well cared for resort. Apartment was very clean and tidy with great amanities. It was lovely to see the kangaroos roaming around. Not having the reception opening occasionally so that you could access brochures for activities around the area and for any general enquiries it wasn't open once in our 14 day stay. A map of the area in the room would have been helpful too having not been to Trinity beach before.
- Elizabeth (8/5): So comfortable we want to stay longer next time! - Beautiful grounds, great location and easy to move around. Toilet paper hard to reach!
- Roland (10/5): Great holiday stay - Great apartment and loved the layout. Modern design Reception never seemed to be open.
- Nicole (9/5): Clean, comfortable and affordable stay. - Unit was clean, spacious and comfortable. Had washing, drying and ironing facilities in the room. Main bedroom separate and private from second bedroom. Large deck area with ceiling fan overlooking the gardens was beautiful. The pool areas were excellent, the larger pool and spa area is such a gorgeous space to hang out in. Unfortunately the sauna wasn’t working properly, which we were all looking forward to using. Was no reception staff when checking out at 10am on a Saturday. But they were the only negatives.
- Debra (10/5): Exceptional -
- Fiachra (8/5): Very good -
- Joanna (8/5): Great quiet and relaxed resort, with amazing lagoon pool - It is slightly tucked away in a good way and means it is a lovely quiet resort. Amazing lagoon pool and Wallabies roaming the gardens. 2 bed apartment laid out well as bedrooms at either end so can't hear each other. Has an issue with the oven but the owner stepped in and went over and above to assist.
- Julez (10/5): Exceptional -
- Julez (10/5): Exceptional -
- David (9/5): Superb -
- Louis (10/5): Exceptional -
- Bridie (8/5): Great location - Great location and lovely facilities Arrival - reception closed and the phone number provided relied on visitors having an Australian mobile. After almost an hour we were able to get the safe code. Why not just provide this with the booking confirmation?
- Shane (9/5): Superb - Fantastic relaxing resort. Great pool & bbq areas.
Apartment was super spacious & well appointed for our stay.
- George (10/5): WAS MORE RELAXING - SET UP AND LOCATION WAS JUST PERFECT NO INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO WORK THE STOVE HOTPLATE
- Julie (10/5): Lovely 3 day stay visiting family.. - Have stayed here on several occasions, I love the location, the peace and quiet, the unit was beautifully decorated and we overlooked the lagoon pool. Everything was great but just a few little things in the kitchen could have been improved and our stay would have been perfect. We decided to use the kitchen instead of eating out , but found the utensils were lacking, the frypan needed replacing, there were no paper towels, baking paper or aluminium foil, At least one more tea towel would have been good, and spare garbage bags as well. They were just minor things, but our 3 night stay was still great and I would definitely stay here again.
- Gayle (9/5): Superb -
- Karnney (10/5): Beautiful!! - Beautiful room! Very spacious plenty of room clean and tidy! Nothing everything was great
- Frederik (7/5): Good -
- Stuart (10/5): Restful, familial, and improved fitness - The design, the facilities, the closeness of the beach and the happiness and charity of the community Nothing
- Tania (10/5): Exceptional - I left my reading glasses behind and was contacted and returned to pick them up
- Kaye (9/5): Superb - It's a great location. Close to the beach where you can swim. The resort has a great swimming pool and BBQ area. We were surprised that it was so quiet as it is a big resort. We had everything we needed in a very clean and large apartment.
- Sunita (10/5): Home away from home. Near family and Trinity beach. Great stay! - Comfortable and clean. Great location
- Nicola (9/5): Superb -
- Maria (10/5): Exceptional -
- Penni (8/5): Very good -
- Christine (10/5): Wonderful, relaxing and exceptionally clean and comfortable facilities - The cleanliness was exceptional. Facilities were wonderful. Pool lovely. Nice and quiet. Didn't deal with staff much however the limited contact we had was amazing. Only feedback would be fresh towels or linen service offered midweek.
We did not realise we could request additional toilet paper etc until we asked. Would be helpful to have this info on check in. Apart from that everything else was wonderful.
- Hayden (10/5): Plenty of space! - Really large & spacious rooms at a very reasonable price. Easy access to beach + restaurants
- Bruneau (8/5): Very good -
- Tanya (8/5): Very good -
- Shelagh (7/5): Would stay again but would prefer smokers are kept together apart from non smokers - Rooms were super clean, modern and comfortable Smokers around the property, people beneath us smoked outside which wafted up to us
- Julie (10/5): Perfect place to stay when visiting family. - Lovely pool and tropical gardens. Very peaceful and quiet.
