Everything was good and really liked the restaurant. I didn't receive instructions for late arrival because I didn't take phone off flight mode.Caused us a problem but my fault. We couldn't get onto wi-fi which was disappointing.

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed in Morris #517. This is an excellent well appointed, clean and remodeled unit. Some of the common areas have not been as well maintained, and a number of areas are currently being worked on. This is a mix of long term rentals, residents and short term holiday units. The local by the Cultural district is unparalleled in Cairns and makes this a great choice for active folks. the airplanes do land/take off nearby, so if that would be a bother to you please be sure to consider. For us, no worries.

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing resort with 3 swimming pools , beautiful flora around ! Also , there is great Thai restaurant on side with very special deserts! Convenient parking. Communication was tricky because office is opened on week days until 5 snd closed on weekends and no one was picking up the phone or responded to property e mail . It is an older propery but maintained very well

Wonderful place, have stayed their twice now. It does need better up keep, would be a shame to see it not refurbished soon and fall into disrepair.

The number of pools and variance was excellent. However, the property is showing its age and needs maintenance inside (washers etc) and outside (cracked tiles, paint and repair on eaves)
Andrew, 6-night trip

Beautiful apartments. Very spacious and wonder views of the pool. BBQ area for a pool side dinner. Close to airport. Close for the airport and 10min drive from town. Car was secure undercover. Great for family fun. Would definitely use again

4/10 Fair

Room wasn't ready for check in. Was told it would be half hour, cleaners didn't get there to start till half hour later. Didnt get any compensation from hotel. Pools were run down, parts of the resort were abandoned. Very noisy at night from people in pool.
Stacey, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent

The Lakes Resort had very mixed reviews so we were somewhat hesitant...but we needn't have been. Everything was excellent! We booked a 2 bed deluxe unit which was clean and spacious and in good condition. We loved the numerous pool areas and enjoyed the bbq area, tennis court and bocce. Onsite cafe and restaurant open daily and the staff were lovely. An easy 8-10 minute walk to the main road for buses into town. We loved it, would definitely stay again.
Jaimie, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

We booked 2BR. When we arrived we think wow nice place. Pool was nice. But day after we felt not resort more like residency place.. So many cars parked around the bilding and car park was really tight. The breakfast was really tasty but only one person run the shop and our last day morning he was sick so we couldnt get.and we didn't konw until we got there.No one let us knew shop was closed. It was a bid sad. But we can get refund is good .. Overall room was nice,location is nice. Receptionist was nice. It was good experience.
paul, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

We arrived 10 minutes early and were told to come back at check in time. We came back at the check in time and was given the keys but were told that the supervisor had not inspected the property and were asked to wait a further 15 minutes, which we didn’t. The supervisor allowed herself into the apartment 30 minutes after check in to inspect the property. The property was very dated and needs some maintenance. Arrival info stated apartment had to be left tidy however couldn’t vacuum rooms as no vacuum, found the vacuum box empty.
Zena, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Although our room was great, 1 roll of toilet paper for two adults for 5 days was tight and no office over weekends, we had to buy our own. My family stayed in various rooms throughout the resort and their rooms were really dated and not very good.
