“Reef House's split”

The Reef House Adults Retreat is an exceptional wonderful stay for many — a child-free property full of holiday calm where couples return yearly for anniversaries and one pair came back twenty-four years after their honeymoon without disappointment; expect a luxury-home feel, beautiful spacious rooms, flawless tropical surroundings, decent food, thoughtful touches, and wonderful first-rate service exceeding expectations. Caveats though: a severe dissent finds the facilities too old for the rate, says there is effectively no service — guests carry their own bags in and out — and dining choices are thinner than in Cairns itself.

Rooms: Spacious; an old dissent though for the guests on stays.
Service: A severe self carry pan here.
Location: Palm Cove for the guests here.
Food: Decent; thinner choice noted though for the guests on stays.
Facilities: A dated dissent was reported by guests here.
Value: A rate dissent was reported by guests here.
Noise: Adult only calm for the guests on stays.
Cleanliness: Fine for the guests on stays.
