I absolutely loved my stay at Drift Palm Cove. This holiday was a solo trip and I felt very safe and like I had everything I needed in the apartment. Pool was stunning and massive so everyone had their own space. Perfect location - would definitely go back!

Overall Quite Good
Overall a good experience. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, comfy beds. Good options for family accomodation with multiple bedrooms and nice large pool. Most hotels in Palm Cove are within easy walking distance of anything you need eg: restaurant or supermarket and tour and transit operators pick-up/drop-off from here. The downside: the property is looking a little tired in some respects (rust/water stains) and the empty restaurants at the front (perhaps not formally part of the property) create a bit of a negative atmosphere. I appreciate that Covid and Cyclone Jasper impacted the area significantly. I’d consider staying again, but would also look at other options on return to Palm Cove.

Great location and the pool is phenomenal, you can swim in it all day and always find a patch of shade. Perfectly located in walking distance to everything along the Palm Cove esplanade. Will definitely stay here again.

Close to good food spots. Great pool. Just needs a little TLC to bring it up to a very good stay option. Our room had mouldy outdoor furniture which was not inviting and which we couldn’t use for the whole of over stay making outside eating, reading etc a non option.
