Melaleuca Resort

Melaleuca Resort is in a terrific position just across from the beach at Palm Cove with plenty of cafes, restaurants and shops within a few minutes' walk. Being set back from the road it was also very quiet. The apartment was comfortable, neat, clean and well-equipped with a washing machine, dryer and dishwasher so we had everything we needed for our stay. All the staff were really friendly and helpful and we enjoyed our time at the Resort.

Spacious clean apartment with lovely balcony overlooking the pool, beautiful gardens, and the beach. Great location; within walking distance of all the sea front restaurants and cafes, and just across the road to the beach. Great little pool area in landscaped gardens, with plenty of loungers and brollies. Secluded spot. Good A/C in living area and bedroom. Fab shower pressure. We were allowed a late check out on our day of departure with no surcharge which was nice. We stayed 4 nights in a double ocean view room. Downsides: Currently undergoing some refurbishments so there was no staffed reception during our stay. The room wasn't serviced throughout our stay so we ran out of toilet paper, and toiletries. I think at least 1 service should have taken place. The "double" bed comprised two singles pushed together with no attachments which was uncomfortable and far from ideal! The WiFi was weak in our room. Room should have an information sheet (especially given the lack of reception) with staff contact, local info, check out details etc... Room furnishings and tiling are dated, albeit clean and functional. Overall, I would recommend this accommodation and we found it good value compared to other hotels along the front, that didn't offer the same views.

We had stayed at Melaleuca previously and the resort was perfect for us. Great location surrounded by bars and restaurants with perfect hosts, what more could we ask for.

Booked a one week stay at this resort as we had stayed at many others along the Palm Cove ***** over the years. Price is remarkable given what others nearby are asking. Staff member was helpful on arrival and we climbed the stairs to the top floor of three levels - good outlook but stairs. The apartment was very spacious with separate bedroom, kitchen, lounge and bathroom. Everything provided for a longer stay, in fact I think some apartments had semi permanent residents. We had a couple of maintenance issues with air con units (seperate units for living and bedroom spaces) and the towel rail in the bathroom falling off the wall. No biggie as there was a drying rack provided in the laundry space. The pool and garden area were beautifully maintained and we spent time lounging poolside and using the covered BBQ area for some lunches. The BBQ area even had condiments provided! Plenty of places to get takeaways or dine in meals nearby and the bus service to Clifton Beach Coles, Smithfield shopping Centre and Cairns ($0.50c) is easy to pick up a short walk away. We would recommend Melaleuca Resort as it’s well priced, comfortable, clean and has a lovely pool area.

Melaleuca never disappoints. The weather was pretty ordinary while we were there but the pool was great, clean and warm even in the rain. Gardens are neat and tidy with a great BBQ area. Apartment clean and well maintained. It has everything you need. It is close to everything in the middle of the Esplanade. Cars are undercover so didn't get rained on when coming or going. Lisa is an outstanding manager, she is like family (the ones you like :) always helpful and cheerful. Can't wait until our next visit.

Great location in centre of town, accommodation adequate but some areas/items needed upgrading. No information in apartment and every time we went to office nobody was there to arrange hire car, trips etc.

Our second visit in 6 months. Perfect again. Lisa manager has settled in well and very obliging. Couldn't fault unit. Used BBQ which was well equipped. Perfect location.

The apartment had everything my parents needed, frequently changed sheets and towel. My parents are elderly and they were

Apartment was very spacious, clean and handy to all amenities. Did wonder why we were unable to have a room with a view to the beach. Our view was a white wall while other apartments had a lovely view of the beach. A few of these units did appear to be vacant.
