Awesome 2 bedroom apartment, massive in size and nice inside the room and outside entering the apartments. The pictures don’t do it justice, it’s a must see and stay. The price of the room was excellent as well.

Loved the accommodation apart from the double room having two single beds stuck together made it uncomfortable. The service at reception was fantastic and very friendly. Loved the fact we had the ground floor apartment as both my mum and I have problems with hips and feet. The bistro wasn't the best food which was a shame but we were told about dunwoodies which was excellent . All in all though I really loved my stay and the resort was awesome, can't wait to come back to cairns again in the future and hopefully be able to stay there again. Thank you so much.

Good accommodation, spacious room, good resort facilities, close to airport.

No wi-fi, small TV (no real issue for us) self contained apartment so you have to provide everything yourself (garbage bags, toilet paper, dishwashing liquid etc...)

Hi Alexandra, thank you for your positive feedback of The Lakes Resort. We agree, the resort's outdoor facilities are fantastic and you can really step into holiday mode when you arrive. Being central to the Cairns Esplanade - the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef and the Skyrail Cableway up to Kuranda, there is no shortage of fun to be had in the region!

Our stay was nice. We loved the option of 3 swimming pools and security was of high standards. It would have been even better with an extra T.V. in the bedroom having children. The weather was perfect.

Yes we enjoyed our time again in Cairns the Lakes[which we had stayed at before] was a little disappointing in that you can see it needs some up keep, it looks very tired and run down, the cleanliness of the place was not up to scratch, the carpet in the main bedroom was so badly stained you didn't want to go into the room.

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.

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

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.
