BeachView Apartments at Villa Paradiso

Having stayed in Palm Cove half a dozen times previously we’d always been curious about these apartments and wondered what they’d be like. The balconies looked spacious and we imagined the views would be a mixture of melaleuca trees, palm trees and the beach. Upon securing unit 13 on level 2 we were delighted to find that this was exactly the view that we would have and we were then struck by the vast living space and the spacious rooms including main with ensuite. There were two bathrooms in total and a good sized laundry which had a washing machine (washing powder), dryer, ironing board and brooms, dust pan etc. The apartment was clean and the kitchen included an easy to use dishwasher and also some condiments; salt, pepper, olive oil, tea, coffee etc. There was an array of plates, crockery, trays, cups, glasses, pans, bowls and mugs, plus kettle and toaster, and again, everything was well cleaned. The bedrooms were equipped with ceiling fans and AC and the beds were comfortable. The pool was a hit with all of us, was heated to a perfect temperature and there was also a good sized spa. A bbq and outdoor (undercover) setting was also poolside and a great spot for Brekky, lunch or dinner. The balcony was probably where we spent most of our time with two lounge chairs, a bench seat with pillows and a table with bar stools overlooking beautiful Palm Cove. It was a great place to have a coffee in the morning or a pre-dinner drink in the afternoon or simply to unwind and read a book and take in the sounds of the ocean. Of course, Villa Paradiso is located on the main drag and is a short walk to restaurants with cafes (both with good coffee) located either side of it. The bus stop is also across the road and you could catch a bus into Cairns every hour. Hire car options were on the premises as well as a tour desk. Reception were friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We loved our stay and look forward to returning in hopefully the not too distant future.

Lovely apartment. The rooms were large spacious and airy and had a homely feel. It wasn’t like other apartments I stayed in where they tend to be more “hotel” like. The furniture was individual and comfortable. The view of the beach was amazing and balcony well equipped to sit and read, watch the sunrise and relax. I stayed in Apartment 8 on the 1st floor and right in the middle of the building. It was well equipped including folding chairs to take down the beach and relax. Location was superb for the netted beach and cafes and restaurants. The staff were accomodating also. The only fault I would say is the pool area. It could do with some maintenance and regular cleaning as many leaves in the pool. They did leave the cleaner on a lot but if you’re trying to enjoy a swim or dip it gets in the way. Tiles were missing and it was a bit sad looking generally. I did have an issue with maintenance going on as the apartment below was having its decking renovated and the stain fumes were unpleasant making its hard to remain on the balcony for a couple of evenings, but I get that it’s hard to time a job like that given the weather. Speaking of which was fantastic and apparently I had timed my trip well in that regard. I got a great deal as a last minute booking. I would definitely return but would like some effort made on the pool area.

Villa Paradiso is heaven on a stick! Great apartments with amazing views, lovely pool, A1 location (coffee and shops next door and the patrolled beach and stinger net across the road), tour and rental car bookings available on site.

Amazing location right across from the beach. Central in Palm Cove, lovely pool/spa, hot strong showers, beautiful ocean views, large balcony. The staff we had dealings with (Lauren and Karen) were both so lovely and helpful. We were able to hire a car from the reception desk, no hassles at all. Would definitely come back to this place. Thanks for a great experience.
