We moved to this place last minute after finding our original booking closed. However, we were glad we did. They allowed us to keep our bags at the reception while we were on a day tour before check in. The apartment was spacious with three bedrooms. The pool was nice and the beach was right across the street with easy access. It has a couple of restaurants right next door and a convenient bus stop to take you into Cairns. We enjoyed our stay.

I stayed with my family in a three bedroom apartment in unit number 7. There is no room service and the reception is only open for a few hours every day (that’s why the service rating is low). It is a fine place to stay for a five days. The rooms are spacious, but the furniture is definitely older besides the large flat screen TV. Our room was not heavily decorated by any means and the beds were very hard and low to the floor. My sheets were layered in flakes of sand which could be quite itchy late in the night. Each room has a nice closet which has a decent amount of space. Two of the three rooms had TVs which stunk for me and my grandmother who did not get any TV. Our oven did not work very well at all, and it wouldn’t pre-heat. Additionally, the timer did not work on the oven so even when we tried to see if we could cook our frozen pizzas we had bought, the timer never went off and didn’t move at all. Our view was not very good; We could see the street and into the resort, not the beach. The shower was either BOILING HOT or cold. When we would try to adjust it to a nice, warm temperature, the shower would not change temperatures. The pool (cold because of winter) and courtyard is very nice, and we saw two wild wallabies while we stayed here. It is right next to the beach and two wonderful restaurants called L’unico and the Beach House @ Trinity Beach, which both offer great spaghetti. Overall, I would want to try other resorts if I were coming here again, but it is definitely a fine place to stay for a week.
Good location in Cairns with close proximity to everything. For some reason the way it was advertised I thought it was a 4.5 or 5 star resort which would have room service or a restaurant on the property etc. It didn't but it had cafes and dining areas very close to it but still it isn't the same. Apartments were clean and spacious and we got good deals with flights from Melbourne for a family of 4 during school holidays. When we arrived we were given rooms somewhere very high up and I was so exhausted climbing there and was literally in tears and told my husband I can't do it. My knees were sore as I have bad knees from surgery etc, however they were nice and changed the rooms for us to a ground floor one. So please check with staff when you book. Something slightly missing from it though,...maybe the wow factor.. not sure. So I will give it 3.5 stars overall. Its pretty good value though...would recommend if you are on a bit of a tight budget. But its not cheap looking or anything, don't get me wrong. Just not "luxury". Close to airport and other sight seeing venues. Palm Beach is just 10 minutes away I think and lots of shops and eating places there too.
Awesome location! Right in front of the beach, convenient, perfect holiday spot. However rooms are old, not well maintained equipments with stuff broken and the service is lousy. If you are looking for location this is awesome, but don’t expect much from the rooms or services!
The location is good in the center of calm and small Trinity Beach, with a few good options of restaurants, bars and cafes, with direct public bus to downtown. No ocean view but we saw wallabies at the backyard. No daily service with minimal staff. Maybe they have only one maintenance staff in the whole resort. We can’t expect too much service. The electric cooker didn’t work (never boils). Nespresso worked every day. We didn’t try the rice cooker.
