“outstanding family resort in palm cove”
we stayed at sea temple palm cove for a week while in beautiful tropical north queensland. it was a vacation of a lifetime and sea temple definitely helped in that regard. it's not the biggest or fanciest hotel we've ever stayed at but the accomodations and service was second to none. our suite was huge. it had two bedrooms and two full baths. another huge bonus--in suite washer dryer which is a must for families because you will go through tons of clothes due to nature of vacationing in north queensland--very humid, lots of outdoor activities like snorkeling, etc. the pools were very warm, and the atmosphere very relaxed, it never got really crowded like a lot of big resorts can get. we took advantage of the spa and got very high quality massages. the concierge service was outstanding and always cheerfully and efficiently helped us to organize all the activities of our trip. we also had some delicious fried crocodile in the restaurant. the sea temple has direct access to the beach, although you can't really swim in it if it's jellyfish season. we managed the walk to the esplanade in the hot summer, but i probably would've rented a car in retrospect. the best overall part of the location is that palm cove is the perfect place to stay if you are visiting cairns, port douglas, and daintree because it's in the middle of all that. we would definitely stay at the sea temple again on a return visit to this magnificent part of the world.
