We spent a week at the Sea Temple in Palm Cove in July 2011. Families apartments are just stunning, very spacious (100+ square meters), decorated with taste, nearly luxurious. The hotel is literally on the beach and the beach is stunning, 8 km long, perfect for walk and runs. In the Australian winter there are no nasty jelly fish, so you can swim safely in front of the hotel. If you are there during the hot season then you should go and swim in the supervised part of the beach which is 15 min away toward the heart of Palm Cove. We tried to look for the nearby resident croc but didn't spot him. Palm Cove is smaller and quieter than Port Douglas, so again perfect for families, not if you are a party animal.

We stayed here for a week..I wish we could have stayed longer! Staff throughout the stay were fabulous.. Housekeeping always read our minds in what we needed done in the room.

We booked a room on the top floor and had our own spa and BBQ on the top floor! All the facilities in the room were great.

Food in the restaurant for breakfast and dinner were very nice and tasty. Room service was of a high quality also.

We had a couples massage at Mii Spa and it was well worth it!

We stayed at the Sea Temple Resort Palm Cove for 9 nights from 5th-15th of January 2012 , I was hesitant at first knowing that this was the wet season, and nth qld was subject to downpours at this time of year , well, we received 5 mins of rain in 10 days !!!. The weather was georgeous , not at all what I expected. Hot and Sunny .... We stayed in a two bedroom swim out apartment , stunning , georgeous , beautiful , we didnt book through the hotel direct , as we received it a tad cheaper through "The Boutique Collection" , needless to say their service was exceptional. The room was beautiful, clean and modern. I have read reviews about the sea temple saying the rooms were dirty but ours was beautiful , could not complain , if I had to complain , all I would say was , there was only three forks when we needed 4 - ahhh thats it !. The view from the swim out apartment was amazing, having the pool directly from the balcony is great , if anything , the pool was a little too warm to swim in , but that is nothing to do with the resort , just the suns issues i guess. The pool had to be around 29 degrees in the water, not to good to cool off in. But the pool was beautiful, We just visited a few other pools in the area to cool off ! . The staff were all very helpful and cocktails from the bar were awesome. I travelled with my husband and two young children, and the pool was always quiet. Only a short walk to the shops of Palm Cove and beautiful restraunts. One thing , it is rather expensive to occupy yourself in Palm Cove , most activities for a family of 4 require $ 500 plus . We only went on the Quicksilver snorkling and my hubby went out on a fishing charter , but both added up to over $ 1000. If you eat in , then costs would be reduced somewhat , but there are just so many beautiful restraunts to eat in , who wants to stay home. All in all this was a stunning resort with beautiful facilities , pool in Jan is a tad to warm , but if thats all I had to complain about , im doing well. Highly recommend this resort , beautiful , and thanks to the Boutique Collection for organising a wonderful resort !.

Sea Temple is one of the best hotels I have stayed in.

We were travelling from the UK and this was our first stop. The staff were excellent and ensured our room was ready on arrival. The room was extremely clean and very large. We had opted for the roof terrace one bedroom apartment. The bedroom was large with a large bed and ample wardrobe space. The apartment was very modern and nicely laid out. The roof terrace was the size of the apartment with a four seater jacuzzi, large BBQ, 6 seater table and sun loungers. We also had a large balcony.

We ate in the hotel a few times and I am pleased to say the food was of a 5 star standard. I would also reccommend the cocktails particularly the mango daiquiri. We were also impressed by the breakfast and chose to eat outside.

The staff were extremely friendly and always willing to help. They are an asset to the hotel.

I have no negatives to say about Sea Temple and although costly, I feel the quality of customer service and the hotel itself is worth it.
