Good hotel, but not cheap *

Enlarge letters A A Downsize letters A A

the hotel is in very good condition, the rooms are large and with all the necessary devices equipped. In palm cove is however not a lot, and the beach is not very welcoming. Both Cairns (20 kilometer) as port Douglas (40 kilometer) are not around the corner; so you will need a car. The value for money the hotel is only with special arrangements, the regular prices prices are too high.
