We just spent a fantastic week at the Alamanda. Before we arrived they arranged transport for us from (and to) the Cairns airport through Exemplar, an excellent shuttle service. A small discount is applied to the transport charge when the Alamanda makes the booking. From arrival and check in until we reluctantly said goodbye, every staff member including Kiley the manager were helpful and friendly. The kitchen/living area of our oceanfront one bedroom suite (#35) was on the top floor with our spacious en suite bedroom, and a second bathroom with shower, on the floor below. The furnishings are modern, there is Miele equipment in the kitchen and laundry, and the entire place was immaculately clean. The wonderful view from our big balcony took in the beach, palm trees, and one of the three swimming pools. The main pool was being renovated but unlike other reviewers, we never heard any construction noise from it. There was an occasional sound or two from what was probably routine maintenance or minor construction, but it was never a nuisance. The Alamanda is at the end of the main street that runs along the beach and is situated such that the street turns before it passes in front of the side of the building where our suite was located. As far as we could tell this was the only accommodation in Palm Cove that didn’t have the street between it and the beach, so no traffic noise. It is a short walk to the many restaurants, bars, and shops on the main street (DO NOT miss the restaurant Vivo - see separate review). Restaurant La Mesa at the Mantra is very good and gives a discount to Accor members, but only if you have your Accor card with you. There is a small well-stocked grocery store very near Alamanda, and a short distance past the store is the Palm Cove Tavern and bottle shop. Gabi in the office were eager to help us sort out an excursion to Kuranda via the historic train from Freshwater, and back down the mountain via cable car. One tour was based from Cairns which would have required us to pay separately for transport to the train station and back from the cable car station. Upon looking at the many brochures in the office we found a brochure for Brett’s one-day Kuranda tour that originates in Port Douglas with a pick up in Palm Cove, eliminating the need to pay for separate transport. It pays to look closely at the brochures. Gabi booked our tour with Brett’s excellent tour (see separate review) and the charge was put on our room. We have told friends and family about our wonderful stay here and some of them are already planning their visits. We will definitely be back!
Great location on the seafront close to restaurants and shops Clean well presented rooms, everything available for a comfortable stay. Pool area looked lovely but we weren't there long enough to try Beautiful mature gum trees line the street where hotel is located and this provides great shades.
Save for the pillows...beautiful apartment. Lots of space. Nice and clean. Great swimming facilities. MAGNIFICENT landscaping. Walk to beach. Polite, courteous and helpful management. Oven, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer...Needed to get new toaster. Request answered in lightening fashion. Spa on site. Massage, facials...Small coffee shop...Perhaps the only complaint, coffee shop not always open. If you are searching for peace and tranquility...Mango Lagoon Resort is for you.
SSuzee_uTours私たちはマズ&アランと一緒に滞在するのが大好きでした。私たちは本当に本格的な熱帯オーストラリアの経験をしました。彼らの場所は、美しい静かで美しいビーチのすぐそばにあり、彼らの庭はプールのある熱帯のオアシスであり、朝食の熱帯の新鮮なフルーツの試飲盛り合わせはクイーンズランド州でしか起こり得ませんでした。キングルームは本館とは別のアパートにあるのでとてもプライベートで、簡単な食事の準備ができるシンプルなキッチンがあり、ベッドは本当に快適でした。 Maz & Alanは楽しかったです。私たちは世話をしてホストされたと感じましたが、十分なスペースを与えられました。ここで数日間過ごすことをお勧めします。すべてに感謝します。ウェリントンでお会いできるかもしれません。
