My partner and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Melalueca resort in beautiful palm cove.. On arrival we were greeted by hosts Margaret and Stephen who were very friendly through-out our whole stay and could not do anymore for us. They knew everything about the local area, tours etc.. We booked two tours through Margaret, one to great barrier reef from Port Douglas and one to Fitzroy island and both of them were superb!
Our room was very spacious and spotlessly clean, had a super comfy bed, laundry and big balcony looking straight across to the beach. The beach itself is 20 meters at most from the resort and is lined with palm trees, very pretty.. The pool area is lovely and clean, a great way to cool down and enjoy the immaculate gardens that surround it.
Palm cove is quiet and relaxing however has got a wide variety of restaurants, bars, spas all within easy walking distance of Melalueca.. We particularly enjoyed sipping cocktails and cold beers in vivo's and in the rising sun looking out at the beach.
Getting into the centre of Cairns is easy, the bus goes every 30 minutes from right outside of melaleuca and this service runs late into the night.
Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, we would highly recommend palm cove for a relaxing get-away and would definitely recommend melalueca as a great place to stay
