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!

Lovely hotel clean with good pool area. Good location. Would have been perfect if there was a food / drink area

Good afternoon Owain,we are pleased you had a great stay with us, we have had others say the same regarding food & drink options however with the good choice of restaurants out the front we feel these cover what guests are looking for, except for the in room and pool side service.Kind RegardsDrift Palm Cove

Overall Quite Good
Posted 24 Jan 2024 on HotelsOverall 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.

Good afternoon Michael,we appreciate your feedback regarding your recent stay with us. We are currently working through our maintenance programmes as they are scheduled on a regular basis. Yes you are correct the restaurants are no part of Drift as a business interest however they are very well supported by us and our guests.Yes covid did effect some of them and the recent floods we experienced have certainly impacted the others, We have just seen a new one open out the front which is being very well received. It is called Miguel's and is a Tapas & Wine bar.We look forward to you coming back to Palm Cove wherever you choose to stay.Kind RegardsDrift Palm Cove Team

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.

I have passed this information to our Housekeeping and maintenance team to look into.Should you have any situations like this arise please remember we are always here to assist in making your stay more comfortable.Kind RegardsDrift Palm Cove Team
