Palm Cove golf resorts

We enjoyed our stay. This is our 6th trip to the area and first stay at mantra amphora. The hotel is in a great location and easy walking to everything. The day spa is lovely and Vivo restaurant is out front and it’s fantastic. I preferred it to Nu Nu to be honest. Our room was beautifully decorated and clean but on arrival the odour was so bad (think dog bones or a butcher shop) I had to go straight to Coles the next day, and buy a glade plug in and air freshener costing me $30 just to get rid of it. We looked everywhere, opened the doors, wiped the fridge, but couldn’t find the cause. This was the main downside. We had to constantly spray each day. Bed was comfy and spa bath in room was great after a long day. Pool area is busy. We didn’t get to try hot tub as it’s dominated continually by groups of guys drinking in it. Not great when you have little kids but we did swim in the pool. Overall it’s an ok hotel, very family orientated and we’d stay again but maybe look at Drift or Alamanda first as they are just a little bit nicer. Cairns is the most amazing place to visit and so much to do. Overall this hotel is a 3.5/5

Underneath garage was 35 degrees so it needs better ventilation

Perfect accommodation at a perfect location.
