Great pool, okay apartment. The check in was a bit average, we didn’t really get a welcome vibe. The pool was lovely though. Very expensive for what the room was, guess because of the location, maybe the time of year. Had a great dinner at the RSL across the road.

I had read a bunch of reviews and wasn’t sure what I was expecting but the hotel was fantastic. Our room looked onto the street so it was great to sit on the verandah having a drink overlooking the water. The pool area was really neat and clean. Great pool. The pub/hotel attached was great. Food was delicious and the staff super friendly. Location is great. Room clean. Bed comfy. Pub next door. What more could you ask for.

Overall we were very impressed with this hotel and the standard of service provided. During our stay we tried both dining options - the bar downstairs and the upstairs restaurant. In both cases we felt the standard of food and service to be very good. My only negative point was that there was only one disabled parking space and on one occasion I had to park outside on the road as there were no parking spaces available onsite. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Nice stay - Only thing is Bathrooms needed serious attending. Floors had stains all over it - not cleaned properly and visibility of black mould on ceiling in shower toilet area. Floors were sticky when walking around bare foot with clean feet.

Sovereign Resort, Cooktown, FNQ, Australia

Main concern was that window shutters did not close and several slats were missing. Although were able to change rooms it was at a higher level, closer to main street traffic noise and with a shared ibnstead of personal balcony. Pool, garden areas and dining facilities were excellent. Very central position in the town.
