    Not all the car parks are under cover. On a hot day leaving your car in the hot sun is not great!

    Our apartment was very good for what we needed. Very comfortable and it was great having the 2 bathrooms. You could tell the property was a little bit older, but well maintained and in a great location to everything, We would definitely stay again

    Second bedroom was tiny. Beds were not the most comfortable, but were ok. I found one of the reception staff members to be quite rude on arrival, maybe they were having a bad day. We had to take rubbish down with us and any extra toiletries were an additional cost. The cost of the accommodation was very reasonable, so maybe that's why the additional cost for toiletries.

    Gorgeous pool area and fantastic location. Beautiful balcony. Great facilities. Good sized apartment overall.

    The cutlery/crockery provision was quite poor It was a mismatch of items and very minimal - I think a full set of all for four adults is essential Two very different coffee mugs and a few glassware items is not great It reflected badly and would be an easy fix

    Great location and our view to the pool was excellent Staff very helpful and the Tavern out back is a winner

    The rooms were quite small, the second bedroom was connected by bifolds to the main bedroom and the curtains didn’t reach all the way around, so it was as bright as daylight in there at night

    It has an amazing pool, lush gardens and is very close to local shops and restaurants

    The room is clearly dated and needs some TLC. A tv in the bedroom area would have been great.

    Location was perfect and the price for the room was reasonable. The bed was comfy and the room was generally quite nice. Check in was clear and simple as was the parking.

    Our washing machine didn't work from day one. We weren't offered an alternative machine to use, or alternative room to stay in. This meant we hand washed all our essential clothes each day.

    Staff were very friendly. It was a perfect place to take the family on holiday. We will go back and recommend to friends and family.

    Bed on wheels kept rolling: felt awkward

    Great location on the esplanade and big apartment on the 4th floor facing the swimming pool. I chose Drift Palm Cove because of the swimming pool and I was not disappointed! It was big enough to do laps and get a proper swimming workout. The apartment was very comfortable and had everything we needed.

    The room was little dark. Either brighter bulbs or lights in the fans would help. Some of the check in staff were a little 'abrupt' but we fortunately encountered a couple of great younger staff members throughout the week who were a pleasure to deal with.

    Fantastic pool. The location is fabulous and just a short walk to the beach, restaurants and cafes. Our room was clean, comfortable, spacious and well equipped. The Drift has a real resort feel.

    The 2nd bedroom was very much joined to the first without its own light, fan or aircon. The bathroom did not have a window or an extraction fan.

    Setting is amazing with mature melaleuca tress and a great lagoons style pool.

    The curtains in our room were old and needed a refresh. The beds were uncomfortable.

    Pool was awesome. The pool is in full shade for the afternoon, which was great for our family as we didn’t want to be in full sun whilst swimming. The location is prefect, close to everything we needed.
