Nice beachfront property, albeit dated. Well secured. Easy check in procedures. Staff were not very friendly or willing to help with tour bookings though. Bathroom needed a good deep clean, but otherwise place was clean. Dishwasher did not work and 2 electrical points were loose off the wall and sparked when plug put in.
A few household necessities would make the stay more welcoming. Overall fair for price

We enjoyed our stay! Great location for visiting Cairns as well as the Daintree and Kuranda rainforests. The condo is in a small complex with private residents. It was very clean, but lacked basic supplies (spatula, sponge, paper towels, etc).

A few issues that arose:

The hours for the front desk were a bit limiting if you were out and about exploring and coming back in the evening. We had to plan to be back in time to get extra TP and laundry soap.

The parking garage under the building was extremely tight and had faulty gate sensors which almost caused us to miss our snorkeling excursion when it was stuck halfway open and we had to troubleshoot it on our own as the front desk was not open yet (730 am). We ended up parking on the street after that. The gate was left open the rest of our stay and not fixed.

The guest shower was missing a glass door and was just \"open concept\" which my kids did not enjoy so everyone just used the master shower.

Our kids used the pool but the hot tub was not heated, not sure if that is only due to it being off-season or not.

Overall, we would stay there again but if you are expecting a turnkey condo with a ton of amenities (we weren't) then maybe this isn't for you. If you want a place close to the beach in a quiet setting between Cairns and the rainforests, where you can cook your own meals, then it's perfect!

It was lovely and quiet (although not overly busy when I was there).
The bed was comfortable, shower pressure great and the water hot.

The phone number for the property didn't seem to work, but they responded well to email.

We booked on the beach holiday apartments and were shuffled to another lot of apartments to blocks up that weren’t on the beach holiday apartments for a start and it was awful so the pictures I saw on Expedia were not the place where we stayed. We checked out a night early and paid for it anyway because we couldn’t stand it any more. The large double bed is not a large double bed. It is a double bed.. the floor was so dirty my feet were black walking from the lounge to the bathroom so we had to wash the floor twice and black water went down the bath tub and the loo. My husband went and bought dishwashing liquid and paper towel and we washed the grime of the windows onto the balcony that I couldn’t open the door. Anyway it was too stiff. It wasn’t just ray. I’ve lived on the coast all my life it was black scum that we got off the door so whether it wasn’t clean properly or nobody’s been in that unit for a long time I don’t know but we felt grubby and dirty we bought also room freshener spray. There was a chemical residue smell in the room anyway we decided on the lsecond last day. We had had enough packed our car up in an hour put the key in the box and left at 4 pm the day before we were supposed to leave. No I wouldn’t recommend staying there unless you were actually in on the beach holiday apartments which we were not.

Utterly disappointed in the condition of the apartment. Blinds broken or not even on the window. Mattresses extremely old and uncomfortable. No security screen on the kitchen window. A child could fall out and two storeys down. Two screen doors missing on the sliding doors. Minimum linen. I went to ask for extra towels and told they are limited and count what we take (ridiculous). Wardrobes wheels are broken and don’t slide. The outdoor furniture is the cheapest plastic type you can buy from Bunnings. I don’t know how this property has a four star rating. The lady at reception from Spain was extremely rude and honestly not interested in being helpful. Everything was a bother to her. Will never stay here again.
Location is however amazing. The restaurants around are delicious. Beach is beautiful.

Disappointed with my stay. Spent so much money and travelled from far to find the room did not have an ocean view as shown in the pictures. It was blocked. I was on the ground floor, and the patio door lock was broken. I reported the security concern to the management and they did not see the need to address it. The WiFi was poor and flaky. The hot water dropped out two minutes into the shower, and the stove needs fixing. The shower head flopped. The rooms were not soundproofed as advertised and there was much noise during the night from the flat above. Also have to read the fine print for this accommodation. It’s not a typical Expedia booking; and payment is collected at the hotel directly, which means you pay a deposit and then the hotel keeps asking you for money. Trinity beach itself is nice and the location was good. The apartment needs maintenance and upgrades.

This property is in a lovely area overlooking the sea. The 1br apartment we stayed in was a bit tired but that was fine for us. All the kitchen and laundry appliances worked fine and were clean. The main concern was security as one of the balcony doors didn't lock. We did report this to management (an older guy) but there was no repair or follow up communication in the 4 to 5 days we stayed after reporting it, apart from an initial assurance that someone would come to fix it. We found a way of securing it with a leather belt as a precaution while we slept. One other suggestion would be to deep clean the couch as it was pretty smelly. Apart from these it was great base for exploring the area and relaxing at the beach.

I stayed at this apartment during my holiday and found the experience to be below average. While the location was decent, there were several issues that made the stay uncomfortable.

The cleanliness was not up to standard—I found insects in the apartment. Basic utensils were missing, which made it hard to prepare simple meals. The main bedroom lock wasn’t working, and the key to the main door was bent, making it really difficult to open the door.

The under ground parking spot was given too us was very narrow hard to park our car. When we call.them regarding this they suggested to park at front or on the street, street parking was uncomfortable especially when it's rainy weather.

Lizard was in my bathroom. No exhaust fan in the bathroom.

Which was disappointing I didn’t bother going to reception to complain as we didn’t see any point.Dryer wouldn’t had been installed on our stay.

Our trip to Cairns was scheduled to be from Dec.18-21. We are from the US and the airline canceled our flight due to cyclone Jasper and airport being closed due to flooding. We couldn’t make the trip due to last minute cancellation. The hotel management was extremely unfriendly and refused to refund the charges. Their policy indicated only 1 night of charge for cancellation. However we were charged for the entire duration of our stay.
I really wanted to rebook with this property when I visit Cairns next as a good will, but I would not any more. The whole city was under water and the management messages us as if nothing happened. We are extremely disappointed.
