The price is perhaps a little bit high for the condition of the property (somewhat dated) The position is excellent being opposite the beach but some other beach front properties seem to offer better value.

Thank you for your feedback, Jenny! We're thrilled you enjoyed our prime beach location. We appreciate your insights and are always looking for ways to enhance our property. We hope to welcome you back for an even better experience!
We have recently enjoyed four weeks stay at Coral Horizons in Palm Cove. The apartment was well appointed and situated absolute beachfront, opposite the Lifeguard patrolled area. We found the beds to be extremely comfortable and there was plenty of linen and towels available, including towels for the beach. The main bedroom's ensuite bathroom had some issues with mould which was reported to the property managers and they indicated that measures would be taken to remedy the situation. The main family bathroom had no such issues. I would definitely rebook another year, especially with improved bathroom conditions.
This is the second time we stayed in this particular apartment and the 5th time in the property as a whole. The location is great, facing the beach and close to places to eat, transport and shopping. The place was really clean and we liked the results of a recent renovation. The service is exceptional. Communication from the booking to the final checkout is always prompt, clear and helpful. Even if you contact them on the weekend or in the evening, someone replies very quickly. Everything is organised to make your life easy. As we were staying in the place for 10 days, we appreciated that we had plenty of towels and washing powder allowing us to wash them regularly. Similarly, there is a supply of dishwasher tablets.
