Amazing large pool surrounded by tropical plants, very friendly staff allowing late check out plus letting our luggage in locker room. 50 min or even less from the beach..across little supermarket. Great coffee straight below resort. Peaceful athmosphere. Only thing could have been better is the kitchen was very little equipped for us cooking family dinners but still it was not a biggie. We certainly will be back !!!! Loved it.

Hi Mac, thank you for your 4/5 review. It is great to read you enjoyed the property facilities and apartment. We are disappointed to read about the smell of smoke in the hallway. Drift is a strictly non-smoking resort. We will look into this and rectify where possible. We hope to welcome you again soon. Kind Regards, Drift Palm Cove.

Drift was nice, it had very basic supplies and would have been enhanced by provision of a few key extra things (I.e salt and pepper, a few more knives and forks). It was also quite noisy, we could hear the neighbours playing music early and late in the day. It was fine but not the best.

Hi Alicia, thank you for taking the time to write a review of your recent stay with us. We will review your feedback regarding the apartment supplies and take into account for future reference to improve the guest experience. In regards to the noise coming from outside the property, there is not much we can do about this but please let reception aware during your stay and we will try our best to rectify. We hope to welcome you again soon, Drift Palm Cove.

Good location - close to everything and ample parking spaces. Also quiet position as property is away from central palm cove. Staff friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the property has had its day and we had expected more from ratings and advertised pics. Room was run down, bed was falling apart, couch and curtains were sticky and dirty, thick dust behind couch, tv units, coming out of air vents and lamps, carpet not vacuumed (ever?!) and stained. Constant damp smell, and cockroaches found in kitchen and coming out bathroom sinks every night. Common for this to occur in Northern Qld apparently for older properties?! Gardens are pretty, and pool is lovely- shame water was too cold to swim in. Hot tub was good temp and grounds were well maintained.

The location of the Drift Palm Cove has everything you need in easy walking distance. Size of the pool is great and there is also a decent size heated spa. I stayed in a two-bedroom apartment which was ample in size and had the bonus of direct access to the pool. Would stay at the Drift Palm Cove again.
