Yes, the accommodation was very nice. Grounds and landscaping are beautiful and very well kept, cleanliness sensational, and swimming pool/bbq areas excellent. Shame pools and spa or at least some weren't heated, wasn't able to swim at all. Room was nice, except it was very dark inside, you had to open up all the balcony doors/shades to get light inside the apartment. But overall, very happy.
I love the Lakes and have stayed there many times. It is fantastic for families and very safe for children. The people at the Lakes are very friendly and helpful. I have family in Cairns who also love to visit us when we stay at the Lakes. We will definitely stay there on our next visit
Response from Cairns Holiday Specialists
Dear Sharon, Thank you for your comments on The Lakes Cairns Resort, it is a lovely property and we look forward to assisting you again when you return to visit your family in Tropical North Queensland. Best regards, Cairns Holiday Specialists Team
yes, though in hindsight perhaps would have preferred serviced accommodation, and a bit closer to town.
great stay
very helpful staff
great sized appartment, very comfortable
only comment, pools a bit cold. I know that most of the year heating isn't needed, but it would have been nice to be warmer at this time of the year, as we didn't get much use out of them. Maybe also to turn one pool into more of a more children oriented pool with water spouts, fountains etc

Very happy with resort and all it had to offer. Service was excellent as was the facilities available. Air conditioner wasnt the best but luckily we were still able to sleep.
Yes,I enjoyed living the apartment with my friends. The room was very clean and tidy.
We had one of our best times in Cairns on our trip of Australia. The gesture of Cairns accomodation was very appreciating.
Excellent. The location was very handy to everything. The apartment was very comfortable. Having a bar and restaurant on site was handy and we tried both - full marks. We found the staff very helpfull and all round nice people.
Thanks
Thankyou for handling our booking at the Lakes Cairns Resort and Spa. Overall we had a wonderful stay there. The apartment was excellent, we particularly like the covered outside room where we spent most of our time. We were welcomed and looked after as soon as we arrived by the reception staff. We were particularly grateful for all the help our shuttle bus driver, Brian gave us. He was extremely informative and accommodating, especially on our shopping trips when we had bags and bags of shopping. Once again thankyou Cairns Accommodation for all your help. We are extremely appreciative and would recommend you to any of our friends intending to travel to Cairns.
The accommodation and service was absolutely excellent. We had the most enjoyable holiday as a family.
The resort was beautiful, apartment was great, nice and clean the 4 swimming pools & spa were fantastic, restaurant with alternating theme nights for their menu was very good, throw that in with happy hour & cocktail of the day, all the staff were fantastic, weather was great what more could you ask for will be re-booking in late Feb 2010.
