Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
It’s a great layout and very nice. It’s a noisy place. Family friends and well subscribed by families who make a lot of noise in the pool and on the balconies if you are looking for a sleep in. You won’t get it here.
Staff are attentive, friendly and professional. The house sparkling is barely drinkable. The room service menu has a number of very interesting items you wouldn’t normally expect. Pan Asian dishes etc. the chicken burger and beef salad were great. The beef burger was horrendous. The beef burger comes contaminated with a jalapeño slaw that is as runny as it is sickening. My advice is order it without this hot sludge.
Car parking is easy, short walk to the esplanade. Coffee here isn’t great so best to take a walk for it. Needs a painting some places.
The king bed is actually 2 single beds pushed together. Very uncomfortable with a big gap between you

Hi Dave, Thank you for taking the time to review your stay, as our resort does not have room service we believe this may be for a different resort? Kind regards, Paradise on the Beach Palm Cove

We arrived in the early hours after a very long travel day but thankfully the after hours check in worked well and we found a parking space then, at 2am!! They stress that parking is first come, first served. We stayed a week and typically got in around 4.30 after a day out and only once couldn't park the car in the garage. It was no trouble to find a space on the street. The staff were friendly. Great location with a side view of the beach. We loved the sound of the ocean. Places to eat in the area were plentiful and easy to walk to. Although Rattle & Hum is literally on site and always very busy we never experienced any excessive street noise.
The bad points: No full length mirror. Hard to shower without making floor wet. Balcony furniture uncomfortable to sit for long. No oven, just microwave and two rings but perfectly functional for our needs. No fly mesh on window shutters...but bugs weren't an issue during our stay.
We absolutely loved Palm Cove and were sad to leave.

Absolutely loved my stay and wish I could’ve stayed longer. The staff were incredibly inviting and lovely, the room was spotless, the pool was enormous.
I was happy to be able to get a car park which is on a first in situation, glad I didn’t have to park on the street. The laundry in the basement is a good idea - open 24 hours but as the garage door is locked, I felt safe.
Finally it is so incredibly close to any facility you made need, restaurants, cafes, mini supermarket, pharmacy, massage & salon, not to mention across the road from the beach! What’s not to love?

I got a burn on my arm from the steam of a microwave so badly that the skin peeled off. The ice in the refrigerator in the room was not enough, so I showed the burn to the woman at the reception and asked for more ice, but she replied bluntly that they didn't have any. It was raining heavily outside, and it was a Sunday. The shops were closed, so it was the people from a restaurant three doors down who helped me. I explained that I wanted some ice, even though I was exposed to the rain, and they asked me to show them the wound, and they even treated it. I was so grateful that I cried when they told me that the pain would go away. Even though it was my own fault, the way the hotel treated its guests made me think about how they should be treated as human beings. The location is great, but if you are really in trouble, prepare yourself that they won't help you when you stay here. I definitely don't recommend it.

Awesome hotel. Best value hands down. We are a family of 5 and there was loads of room for all of us and our luggage. This was by far the most spacious hotel we booked during our FNQ adventure. (we booked 2 x interconnecting rooms) The Kiwi native guy on reception (sorry forgot the name) was super helpful. The hotel is set in the heart of the action in Palm Cove amongst the shops and directly opposite the beach. The spa was really good and the pool perfect for the kids. The hotel even has self-serve laundry facilities downstairs ($4 wash, $4 dry $1 powder) on ground level in the car park.
Overall the place is run in a chilled and laid back environment.

The location is great, probably the best in Palm Cove, and Joy was super friendly and easy to work with. I’d say “you get what you pay for.” Housekeeping is not limited it’s zero. Only one hand towel, one wash cloth and one lounge chair. Studio room only has a bathroom sink, a little hard to do dishes in. The pool is nice. Coin operated laundry available on premises.

Hi there, thank you for your review. We are pleased to read you enjoyed the location of the property during your stay and the services provided by Joy! We will be sure to pass this on. As well as the pool area. In regards to the housekeeping services, this is not a regular service we offer as we are self-contained apartments which is stated at time of booking. Please note if you are wishing for housekeeping this is something you are able to prearrange for a extra cost. We hope to welcome you again soon. Kind Regards, Paradise On The Beach Resort.

We had three wonderful days in Palm Cove at Paradise on the Beach Resort! Everything was perfectly organized and the process for late check-in communicated in time by email. The apartment was very nice and spacious, perfectly cleaned. The pool was nice and well maintained, all staff always friendly and helpful. The location is fantastic, right on the beach. We were 100% satisfied and can absolutely recommend this facility

We all loved our stay at Paradise on the Beach Resort. The location was excellent-patrolled beach directly in front, central to restaurants and cafes and a playground opposite. The resort itself was well maintained, clean and relaxing. The pool and spa areas were set up well with ample sun lounges and a generous sized bbq area was also available. The guest laundry and on-site car parking were also handy. Thank you to the friendly couple who manage the resort and made our stay enjoyable. We look forward to our next visit!

We booked with Paradise on The Beach as there was a 2 day special. The service I received was exceptional. We had to change our dates due to poor weather and the lady was more than helpful in changing our dates with no penalty. When we checked in we were greeted warmly and told of all the details of the room, towels, etc. The room was very clean and tidy. The outside area was lovely with a fenced pool and jacuzzi. A BBQ area with very modern looking outdoor furniture and BBQ's. The daily servicing was a great touch, as they change your towels, sheets, etc at your request for no extra, it's included. There is a restaurant downstairs that does get noisy in the evening/night however it's not overly annoying and I think it adds to the energy and excitement of the Palm Cove strip. There are restaurants galore very close by. I recommend El Greko! The pool was very nice to swim in and also very deep at the deep end. We brought our toddler along for the weekend which I wouldn't recommend as he was trying to take apart everything in the room. The staff were very accomodating to our toddler and offered a baby cot. I gave 4 stars as it was a very lovely apartment with fantastic service and the only downside was that my entry cards kept deactivating and I didn't have access to the apartment therefore had to go back to the desk to reactivate. This resort is in an excellent location close to everything nearby, restaurants, post office,tour bookings, playground, beach, swimming nets. Very happy with how we were treated which is a testament to the owners and staff.

We arrived just prior to 2pm and check in was quick and easy with staff being nice and friendly. The location is fantastic being right in the heart of town and across from the beach. The room was perfectly adequate for what we paid and air con in the living area and bedroom. I felt a TV in the bedroom would be good and fly screens on the windows as if you open bugs come in. A bath would also have been nice however these minor issues would not stop us returning. The pool and spa area was nice with a BBQ area and table and chairs nearby. On-site parking is convenient as is guest laundry. One thing that was really bloody annoying was the door slammers simply no need for it and maybe management could look at adjusting the speed of the mechanism to allow the door to shut slower and hence softer as it sucks when your trying to sleep.

I’ve only just seen your question so apologies for the late reply. Yes you can . I had to leave late on my last day so it wasn’t a problem for them to look after my cases and I was still allowed to use the pool. They were very accommodating.
You fly to Cairns and it is about a 30 minute drive north . I rented a car from East Coast Car Rentals who were way cheaper than the main guys , but I had it for a month . Otherwise Paradise can arrange transfers to and from the airport .
There are more places to choose from in the Palm Cove area.
