A pleasant place to stay in paradise
Great position, great pool, fans and aircon, washing machine and dryer in apartment. Friendly , efficient front office and after hours key pick up safe with clear instructions. Covered parking bays. Can get noisy with pool central to all apartments. Stove top needed cleaning but otherwise a very pleasant stay for 2 nights.

Awesome apartment with just about everything you could need, the wifi is not great in the apartment but that didn't really affect us. The location is awesome and the lagoon pool is a dream. Reception were very helpful on the phone and able to let us have our room early which was amazing. Reception wasn't open often but again not a problem for us. Only criticism is it would have been good to have some tea towels and over gloves in the apartment. Lovely place, in a lovely spot with an amazing pool, will be back!

Good sized apartment that was clean and well presented. The wallabies in the garden were a nice bonus. My only real gripe would be it would have been nice to have some kitchen basics (cooking oil, salt etc) at the property.

Stayed at beautiful Marlin Cove for 5 nights over the new year, with 2 Adults and 2 Children the room was beautiful, modern and the pool(s) were amazing. Walked straight out to the lagoon style pool from our room. Games room with table tennis, soccer and air hockey which the kids loved! Stephanie was absolutely amazing and so friendly, she made our first time to Cains a memorable one 😊 Thankyou. Only a 5 minute walk to restaurants and there is a little grocery store around the corner! Highly recommended staying here and if we come back to Cairns we will definitely be staying here.

We liked the appliances, the quiet, and I loved the lap pool. We thought it was difficult to find because it is partly private residences, and there was nobody at reception. Checkin was by dialling a phone number and then retrieving a door key from a safe box. Lucky they included a map of the property!

The accommodation was lovely however this is the only place we have stayed that has not allowed any early check ins if arriving earlier and the communication, well difficult to get some and when you did it was very generic and and a flat no where as the other locations allowed it if the property was ready especially given we had a child not feeling well

Thoughts from kids who love wildlife
There was a wallaby that liked to spend rainy days on our porch. We named her peekaboo. The apartment was great and the wildlife added to the atmosphere. We saw lots of wallabies, lots of birds, and one snake all on the grounds. On our last day we saw a curlew protecting its nest.

Very disappointed with our unit. It was advertised as a luxury unit but was definitely not luxury. The unit was dirty, had to buy cleaning products to clean the kitchen. All cutlery and crockery had to be put through the dishwasher and then scrubbed to get them clean. Mould in bathroom and vanity cupboard door was hanging off and chipped. Chairs from outdoor setting some of the most uncomfortable we've ever sat on even with cushions. Bedside and wardrobe drawers were dirty and had hair in them that we had to clean out. Shower over bath very dangerous to step in and out of. No grab handle, had to use taps and shower screen to steady ourselves. Had to buy a bath mat as bath was slippery. We shouldn't have to clean our holiday unit before we can enjoy our holiday. Little or no noise dampener between floors, could hear everything from very noisy upstairs neighbours. I could go on but probably not enough room.

Overall room was spacious comfy bed, but the sprinklers going on and off during night was very annoying as I’m a light sleeper. Our heater in room didn’t work(probably not a massive deal but from Adelaide and night time was cold) the sauna also didn’t heat up very well Very minor things. Would stay again as it was a great location.

The Marlin Cove Resort is beautiful. On arrival, we found our apartment to be impeccably clean, modern, and well furnished. Lovely gardens and swimming pool close by. I would have given this property 5 stars if it wasn’t for the bed. It was like sleeping on a slab of concrete with springs sticking through. Extremely uncomfortable. I’m glad we only had two nights there. Such a pity as everything else was of such high standard. I would stay there again if the bed was replaced.
