That it was close to the beach (5 min. walk) there were 2 pools and the surrounds were wonderful.

On the negative side we were given an upstairs room which meant that we had to carry heavy suit cases up the stairs ( I am 72 yo, and my wife is 66 it was a struggle) the room was clean, but we noticed ants in the bathroom after 2 days, we cleaned them up but they came back every 2 or 3 days. The oven did not work, as did the clock radio and the wall clock. I think that the microwave was in the wrong place as it was very awkward to to operate. I think that the whole unit needs a make over

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!

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.

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.

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.

Really enjoyed our stay here. Trinity is a favourite of ours and the location was perfect, walkable to all cafes and restaurants and beach.
It’s obviously been quiet due to Covid but the cleaning of the property could have been better in bathrooms and the balcony was filthy. A quick sweep meant we could sit outside but it was very grubby and needs a good wash down (entrance balcony does too).
Great pool and the kids loved it.

Amenities were great, amazing pool. Units had a few issues which got fixed.

The worst part is the reception is not open (COVID reasons) they run an offsite answering service. We rang multiple times to try and confirm check in, report a broken dryer and washing machine and all they could tell us is that an email had been sent reporting the problem.

We waited days with no information, rang multiple times, eventually it got fixed without any communication to us. Disappointing considering we were staying for 2 weeks and needed these services

Comfortable apartment close to the beach and shops

Wonderful venue a short walk from the beautiful beach at Trinity Beach. The apartment was spacious and clean, functionally furnished with a great balcony overlooking a pool. The bathroom was clean and spacious and the bed comfortable. Parking directly out the front. Shopping centre with supermarket a few minutes walk, as are a range of excellent restaurants and the fantastic Trinity Beach Tavern. Everything you need is there, including in the kitchen, washing machine and dryer. Bed is comfortable and with the place being so quiet, a fantastic sleep. Will be back here again!

Our stay at Marlin Cove resort was wonderful. The apartment was clean,cool,cosy and well appointed with everything you need.The gardens are lush and well kept ,the lagoon pool exceptional and watching the Wallabies on the back porch was the perfect way to end the day.It was extremely wet during our stay but transport is easily accessible whether it be taxi or bus if you dont have a car. All in all we had a wonderful stay and will hopefully be back one day as due to the rain we missed out on many of the adventures the FNQLD has to offer.

The property is good and comfortable. But having no reception open is rediculous. We stayed at 3 places in Cairns during our stay and this was the only place with no reception open. We have stayed there previously and all was good. No where to get snacks or drinks, no tour desk, no games room open (at Coconut Resort all was open) and no where to obtain pool towels. I had been looking forward to having a swim on the morning of departure, but could not have a swim and a shower as only 1 towel provided. This is a cost cutting exercise nothing to do with Covid safety.

The pool and the property in general was clean.The resort was relaxing and quiet.The room in general could do with a better clean.Maybe the room cleaners should take a leaf out of the pool cleaner/maintenance man with a bit more attention to detail.I previously stayed here in March 2018 in room 252.This time in November 2019 in room 217.My first visit had a much cleaner room.

Plenty enough space for our family of 5... excellent location and facilities (games room a bit tired).
The lagoon pool was the feature and our apartment looked onto it. The kids loved it.

Great location
But rooms need updating
Bath tub was dirty
Couch had coils popping up into seat cushion so couldn’t sit on it
No working light bulbs in lamps
Wanted to play tennis on Sunday but office closed so couldn’t grab or hire racquets
Receptionist on check in very grumpy
But staff on departure lovely

The lagoon pool was great and the grounds were lovely and well maintained. Our apartment was well appointed and the dining & living furniture very comfortable & practical. However the bathroom had grout & plug hole mould, was poorly ventilated with a flithy vent and my husbands side of the bed appeared to have broken springs. Enough to need to downgrade our rating unforetunately.

We absolutely loved staying at Marlin Cove Resort, it was everything we hoped for and more. The staff were lovely, the apartment was beautiful and spacious, the view of the pool from our balcony was perfect. The heated pool is exactly what you need in spring, close to a little shopping centre that has everything you need and only a 5min walk to the beach. We actually booked an extra night because we didn't want to leave

Marlin Cove is extremely good value - lovely apartments, lovely grounds and pools and very friendly and efficient staff. The gorgeous Wallabies, Kookaburras and Curlews are also an added bonus!

The location was good, and the apartment was spacious. However, the decor was dated and everything was very worn: chipped paint, mildew in shower, etc. They only provided enough detergent for 2 loads of laundry, 2 dishwasher runs, and only 1 blanket for the beds.

OK place. Room was nice and kitchen amenities were good. No recycling bins anywhere (well this is Queensland after all). Games room is completely unusable, with missing pool queues, nothing to play table tennis with, and arcade machines are broken.

Had a wonderful stay. Kerry the owner was very accommodating and allowed us to check out later as our flight wasn’t until 3.45pm. Easy walk to the beach. Grounds and pool were lovely. Would highly recommend it.

It was very dusty - parts of the property was clean and parts were left. The place mats hadn’t had a clean at all, they were sticky and dirty. Not the standard I was expecting. No staff were available as we arrived on Saturday so they were replaced on Monday.Tiny ants were visible by the cooker.
Palm Cove nearby was a much better area with many activities so would have preferred to have stayed there.
Also the property had bare walls in every room, think it could’ve been made more homely with some pictures on the walls.

We were given a upstairs flat which was very nice the location is a bit out of Cairns, but it’s well served with a bus route, to get any further afield you need to hire a car their are shops an bar in close proximity
