Guest Reviews
- Simon (9/5): -
- Renarta (8/5): Check in was a breeze and professional, good communication from check in staff. - Good location and near by restaurants. Outdated apartment/decor we had on ground floor and a very hard outdated ugly silver vinyl lounge was extremely uncomfortable for what we paid we would of expected nicer and have comfort.
A it was raining due to an upcoming cyclone the decking became slippery from moss and allot of leaves and palm leaves were in the way and were not picked up.
- katrina (7/5): Mostly enjoyable. - Very good location. The fridge in the unit needed to be defrosted. Some of our food went off because of fridge couldn't be kept cold enough. We had extra food due it being Christmas so that was inconvenient.
- Kristie (10/5): Nice clean and comfortable apartments. Highly recommended - The apartment we had was ground level with easy access. Highly recommended
- Pierre-Luc (9/5): -
- Ellise (9/5): -
- Lisa (10/5): Perfect location in Palm Cove - The room was spacious and comfortable and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the complimentary champagne on arrival. The pool in the resort was fantastic. The location is excellent, a short walk to all restaurants along the esplanade. We loved our stay here and would highly recommended the resort. Nothing
- Gerardo (10/5): -
- Kerryn (8/5): Relaxing tropical getaway with lots to do - Location and facilities are great!!! The pool needs some broken tiles replaced and the entrances to building 4 needs a freshen up
- Brian (8/5): -
- CLIVE (9/5): A lovely tropical apartment complex in the heart of Palm Cove. - Our apartment was very spacious with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a good sized lounge area and a very good sized balcony. The balcony overlooked the pool, which is huge with multiple areas to sit. There are quite a few loungers, but could probably do with a few more at busy periods. In saying that the decking area was so big it never felt crowded.
For being a large apartment complex it was very quiet and relaxed.
The position of the apartments is superb with the beach and restaurants right next to it.
We would definitely stay here again. Nothing really.
- Ivan (9/5): -
- Elaine (9/5): Beautiful and relaxing. Just what we needed. - The property was in a great spot - across from the beach and near restaurants and shops. Our apartment had a lovely courtyard with a beautiful tropical garden outlook. As is typical with pools in FNQ, the pool wasn’t heated and it was very cold. It’s a small thing when the beautiful beach is directly across the road, though.
- Catherine (9/5): Simple, tranquil and relaxing. - Loved the apartment - layout, access and the tranquility. The decor and furnishings were beautiful and comfortable. The pool was cooler than anticipated in temperatures each day. Otherwise loved the whole venue.
- Alexander (8/5): Very good -
- Jacinda (7/5): Stay was comfortable and good location - Pool Air conditioning was not very cool and did not flow into second bedroom.
- Anonymous (8/5): Very good - Everything TV TOO COMPLICATED FOR OLDIES.
- Kim (8/5): We had a great stay, very comfortable - Close to everything The room was to far in the building
- James (10/5): Exceptional - Great management who were helpful and generous with their time. Balcony and pool were fantastic.. beautiful area to stay and close to daintree and Cairns for trips. Nothing, would love to stay again
- Catherine (8/5): Very good -
- Adrian (10/5): Exceptional -
- Testa (9/5): Great appartments - Apartment was perfect, very clean, spacious and easy to get to the main strip of restaurants, gorgeous spot.... Pool could of been warmer, too cold .
- Kellee (10/5): Wonderful stay! We loved it! - Stacey was so friendly and provided key pick up from a near by location. The property was located in tranquil tropical rainforest & the pool was beautiful. Comfy beds, well equipped kitchen. Very clean. Will book again!
- Julie (9/5): Superb - Everything The 2nd bedroom
- Rohan (10/5): Exceptional -
- John (9/5): Superb - Great location and easy parking. Pool was nice and big but not heated. Wish the pool was warmer.
- Dylan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Aaron (10/5): Fantastic would come again :) would definitely recommend to family and friends. - It was clean and tidy comfortable lounges and large living spaces. Close to the spa and pool It was also quiet. Excellent internet. Plenty of plates, cups and even things we didn’t realise we would need. As an amputee the apartment was very accessible. Main bed is very soft.
Kitchen sink and cook top could be larger.
An oven would be nice or an air fryer.
Shower heads need replacing.
- Simeon (8/5): Very good -
- Sean (9/5): resort vibe with out the cost - awesome location, amazing facilities, easy access to local attractions and food options would highly recombined,
we were not concerned about the bed configuration and the separation offered enough privacy for us
the beds and bedding is super confy nothing of note
- Richard (8/5): Very good -
- Egle (10/5): Exceptional -
- Matteo (7/5): Good - Room was quiet nice good colour theme and being on ground floor was very good easy access to the pool and barbecue
And not to much noise holiday season would
Be different of course The fridge was very small and also the dishwasher was way to small for a family of 4 the biggest let down
Was the chlorine in the pool unbearable it even gave my partner a rash we had to were goggles in the pool because
Of the irritation we all got from the chlorine
- Karen (8/5): Very good -
- Charlie (7/5): Good -
- Rhys (7/5): Good - The pool was freezing cold and therefore one of the main attractions we didn't use and were disappointed.
- Richard (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jaden (10/5): Exceptional - Pool was great
Family friendly resort
- Gleeson (10/5): Loved it would return over and over again. - Like coming back home. Used to stay at the resort when called the Ramada with my family. We lived close by. Since moved to a large city very pleased to come home to sunshine warmth beautiful tropical surroundings. Unit was in a corner which allowed for privacy and very close to the pool and on ground level which was perfect. Outdoor seating was used a lot and gardens gorgeous. Pool glorious as usual. The beach sensational. Great to have parking. Layer back and easy to get around but I am biased bring a past local bred and born. Great to unwind and reflect on the past general chaos that is life. I can feel myself sighing as I write this after returning to the city. The couch was not comfy (not that we used it that often) but the size of the apartment was great. A jug would be great to chill water in the fridge. There were ice cube trays but a jug would be more handy. The unit a bit dark but the lights helped with that. I would definitely stay here again.
- Lukas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Katherine (9/5): Very enjoyable -
- Gary (8/5): Not bad - Location Check in
- Stephen (8/5): Enjoyable accomodation, friendly and helpful advice about facilities and good eateries by welcoming reception staff. - Location, good value for money, friendly reception staff. The pool was too cold.

- Holly (10/5): Amazing stay! Will be back!!! - So clean and beautiful and the staff are amazing Nothing
- Lynley (10/5): Exceptional - Modern spacious apartment ,so close to beach and restaurants,helpful reception,pool and hot pool. Pool water temperature too cold,massive pool but no one was swimming in it.
- Nika (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kate (9/5): Fantastic location and great for our family. - Fantastic location, great facilities, very private and quiet. We used static blackout blinds on the internal sliding glass doors which made the bedrooms pitch back with curtains closed. So our 1 year old and 4 year old slept fine! Nothing to report other than a starter kit of dishwasher tablets would have been useful (the local convenience store didn't stock any either) but not a huge issue.
Pool a little chilly but the spa made up for it!
- Debra (8/5): Very good -
- Melissa (10/5): Relaxing! - SO clean and equiped with everything we could need! Love the pod machine! The transparent/opaque dividing doors to the single beds made it difficult to be able to be in the main area while kids were sleeping as it would light the whole room up
- Tyron (9/5): Superb -
- N (8/5): A bit overpriced for the two bedrooms apartment. The pool area is amazing. Enjoy your stay - The swimming pool area, outdoor hot jacuzzi bath, and location Price and the room layout
- Anonymous (10/5): we all had an amazing time - the pool and spa. the beautiful garden outside the main bedroom was lovely and spacious BUT the two single beds were far to close and such a small room for adults
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
- Samantha (9/5): Wonderful family stat - Wonderful facilities and friendly staff Not much
- Nicole (10/5): Exceptional - Stacey at Reception was excellent. She was very helpful. She assisted with booking our tours/activities. Great accomodation in a great location, walking distance to restaurants and the beach. Would recommend to others. N/A

- Jodie (9/5): Superb -
- Ann (10/5): Exceptional -
- Douglas (9/5): Superb - Staff very professional
Location was terrific
Pool area just beautiful
- Nicky (7/5): Nice location but resort is in need of some - There is plenty of room for a couple plus access to a ground floor outdoor area. The lady at reception allowed us to leave our bags and bikes in her safe area up the road while the apartment was cleaned. We generally like Elysium and have stayed here before however this time the building was generally looking a bit run down and in need of some TLC. While the apartment was clean enough it wasn’t spotless. Outdoor furniture was uncomfortable and the main bed also a bit soft. Reception staff at Drift itself would not allow us to leave our baggage on checkout until our transfer arrived so we had to sit with it for 2 hours.
- Paul (8/5): Would highly recommend this place would happily stay here again. - Had everything we needed great pool & central to everything. N/A
- Marcus (9/5): Superb -
- Lisa (9/5): Had a very enjoyable stay, would highly recommend - The property was clean, good value.
- Caroline (10/5): Exceptional stay. Beautifully presented apartment in great complex and close to all restaurants - Beautiful private apartment in the Imagine Drift resort. Lovely decor and personal touches made it feel special. Ground floor with easy access to the pool. All facilities needed for a fabulous stay The only thing I could think to improve was a firmer mattress on the main bed! But appreciate this is an individual choice and personal preference 😊
- Michelle (9/5): Superb -
- Jacqui (9/5): Would highly recommend to families visiting Palm Cove :) - Pool was nicely shaded by the beautiful tall trees for most of the day for our kids and also provided privacy for our particular room (4406)! Great to have wi-fi included and walking distance to everything, even with two little kids! A little pricey - but understand it is all about location!
- Anna (9/5): fabulous location, awesome unit, great for families - clean, neat and in a fantastic location!
- Boika (10/5): We had an absolute blast 😃 - great location
loved the pool and the tavern
we had the best time :) nothing

Will be back
- Amy (9/5): Superb - We had a great stay, the room was clean and had everything we needed. Also nice and close to everything.
- Casie (9/5): An enjoyable stay - Great location and well appointed apartment. Decor fresh and fun. Very comfortable bed. Lovely outdoor area. Quiet and peaceful apartment. Dedicated parking spot. Checkin was easy and Stacey was excellent. I appreciate the strong Demand for accommodation in the region, but despite excellent accommodation, I feel the rate was very high
- Anastassia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jade (8/5): very comfortable stay - was lovely eating outside with the beautiful plants - great value for money the yellow room. It was very clean and big enough for 2 adults 2 kids second bedroom has frosted glass so the light shines through and if you have young kids this might disturb them
- Rosemary (8/5): Very good -
- Juan (9/5): Superb -
- Liz (10/5): Exceptional -
- Damion (7/5): Good -
- Monica (8/5): A most delightful tropical holiday at a well run resort and great location. - Professional and personable and we were taken to our apartment by a team member and explained all amenities.
- Jarrad (7/5): Good -
- Stephanie (8/5): Palm Cove is beautiful. If we visit again, we would look for at different resort. - Privacy & location.
The staff on the main reception were lovely, even though we were private apartment guests.
Kudos to the staff who deal with the pool & vast amount of leaves 👏🏻 The apartment was smaller than anticipated yet adequate. It was a little dark (lack of light).
The ground floor lift area in Block 4 smelt strongly of moth balls all the time.
The spiders, their eggs, their webs & their catches were off putting - these were around the eves & windows on the 4th floor outside our apartment.
The Celt bar plays loud music into the early hours (when a live band is on) making it difficult to get to sleep (happened twice in our 9 night stay).
