Had a recent stay at the Lakes Cairns resort. there were 7 in our group of all ages and were fortunate enough to be able to book a 3 bedroom suite. It was a very good size, very clean, with decent beds and linens. The room was right out side the pool area, so it was great for the kids.... more

This was a great place to stay. Sure the room is cleaned every 8 days but we had a two bed apartment huge with full kitchen and laundry in which you can do all you own washing and dry the towels, no problem. There were 5 of us two adults and three kids with tons of room. Only one small... more

It's not a cheap place to stay - $180 a night for a 1 bedroom - but it came very highly recommended so I booked it for my second trip to Cairns. Reception staff not great - they made a very embarrassing mixup with my boyfriend's name which they never rectified, and we couldn't check in early. We waiting in... more

We stayed for 12 nights, no complimentary pick up at airport although the resort advetised this for people staying for more than 5 nights. Rooms were a decent size but bathroom had mildew around tiles and taps not cleaned properly. Cobwebs hanging off the ceiling. No towel or linen change during whole lenght of stay. My wife and I are... more

We were lead to beleive this was a great place to stay, rooms were great and clean but then the rudeness of staff the location which is to close to airport planes flying over at the early hours of the morning,and a fair hike from town, also noise from pool area made it impossible to sit outside at times .... more

Of the 4 pools only one had any heating the... more

Interesting to read the reviews about the Lakes and I can see why people love it or hate it. The resort is OK but does lack places to eat, the 1 restaurant is OK but nothing special, but after that you have to go into Cairns unless you fancy the local fish and chip shop. We really disliked the first... more

Stayed at this property for 3 nights and what a great stay! The resort sent someone to pick us up from the airport, which is located only 5 minutes from the resort. Check in was quick and efficient and then a buggy took us and our luggage to our apartment. The apartment was located to the rear of the resort... more

Lovely spacious apartmnet. Great pool complex. Beautiful outdoor eating area. We were underwhelmed by the bistro's food but found a brilliant Thai takeaway in Cairns and had some lovely meals on the balcony. The complex is 5min from town, not a problem for us as we had a hire car. I wouldn't have wanted to rely soley on shuttles. I... more
