The Lakes Resort Cairns

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.

Great holiday appartments Clean, neat and tidy modern apartment. Great wifi. Secure complex with well maintained grounds/garden.

Horrible, not a Hotel, this is a gated community This is not a HOTEL. The reception is only open limited hours during the week and closed during weekends. Check-in is not a problem as they leave your keys and map in a lockbox outside the main door, but if you need anything there is no one you can talk to. The big red button outside the main door (suggested for after hours call) doesn't haver a real service active. it just points you to a number in your receipt? there are other numbers stuck outside the main door, but they do not answer. After checking out on a Sunday morning, I needed to store my luggage a few hours before my flight, I had to make multiple international calls trying to reach someone without success. eventually, I was lucky to spot the manager walking inside the hall, from the outside. He gladly accepted to take my bag. He even gave me his number to text or call him and we agreed upon a time for me to retrieve my bag, he told me he was going home but he would come back when I texted him. When I reached out during the day he didn't answer for over 30 minutes. Eventually I was able again to spot someone walking inside but they could not open the main door from the inside, Luckly the manager answered their phone calls and they gave me my bag. In the meantime other guests needed to check in but they forgot to put the keys inside the lockbox outside. All of This was on a Sunday before 2pm. These are services you normally expect from a Hotel with a reception.

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

I booked a spa room because i wanted a spa but it did not work. There was no plug, the water wouldn't come out the bath spout and the jets did not work. Otherwise the room was nice, clean and comfortable.
