The room was clean and tidy. The balcony needed a bit of a clean and the general area could do with a spruce up.
Kevin
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

Overall Great Choice, highly recommend!
Overall great experience. Check-in was seamless. Room was spacious and clean. Room included private laundry. Great location in a safe quaint town. Resort has great amenities, grounds are well kept throughout the property. And affordable!!

Ian
Beautiful surrounds and very comfy!
Kylie
Have come back twice to stay at this gorgeous resort. The wildlife the pool the tropical feel is so incredible. It’s not over the top which lets you enjoy the warmth of your surrounds and experience. It’s family friendly and close to cairns and port Douglas . I will be returning here for many yrs to come . The family units are spacious and comfortable.
STEPHEN
Comfortable apartment, with rear patio and access to the pool. Kangaroos in the morning, but not every morning.
rachel
Great stay with everything you need. Great location and pool, with heaps of privacy, very quite and extremely comfortable.
Diann
Such a nice place
Fantastic place and pool. Appreciated the one night as port Douglas had issues. Only feedback is master ac seemed weak. No great coffee machine and bedding needs a comforter but excellent
Kaye
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.

I love the lap pool. and the wallabies! Our second visit and we'll be back.
Megan
Well presented apartment with laundry facilities and fully equipped kitchen, pool, short walk to ocean and restaurants. We stayed after hiking, so made good use of the space to unpack, wash and sort gear.
Greer Kaye
Spacious apartment with good facilities. Wasn't the cleaniest on arrival but nothing a quick sweep didn't fix. Resort amenities were a winner - games room a bit of fun and pools were great!
Miriam
This property looks exactly like photos provided, clean and everything you need is there! 10/10! Well done!
SHELLEY
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!
Mark
Great small resort complex. Clean, well equipped apartment. Lovely pools and sauna. Great location for all Cairns and area has to offer with beaches you do 't get in Cairns!
Michelle
Close to dining district of Trinity Beach, good amenities at property.
Paul
A great price for a great stay.
Ashley
Comfortable apartment
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.

Kosta
Great relaxing place for a holiday. Owners really helpful, apartments a good size for family.
Elizabeth
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!
Tracy
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
Duncan
Fantastic facilities, beautifully maintained grounds, spacious apartment
Cherie
The property was very clean and accommodated our family of 5. Walking distance to Trinity Beach.
Brad
Lovely clean, modern property. Great facilities inside and out. Close to beach and cafes etc. Only curious and disappointing thing was having no recycling facilities and being told to dump all our cans, bottles, plastic etc in the big, regular bin.
Alex
We had a great 2 bedroom apartment. The rooms were spacious along with the kitchen and having a separate bathroom to the kids was amazing. The laundry facilities and the gardens and pools are just magical. We just loved our stay here. Thanks
Gary
Unit was very spacious 2 bed 2 bathroom kitchen dining and lounge washing machine and dryer nice little balcony over looking pool air conditioning through out and ceiling fans very comfortable, only problem car parks are very tight and hard to park in.

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.

Darren
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.

Fabulous location, walking distance to everything. Great communication from company which also allowed us to check in early.
Tanika
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.

Catherine
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.

Great location not far from the centre of Trinity Beach
The apartment was clean and the beds were comfortable, and having the onsite parking bay was convenient. Wifi connection was not Great and netflix connection was poor at that time . Otherwise our stay was great.

Beautiful lagoon pool- perfect for little ones learning to swim
Abigail
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.

Andrew James
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!

Great venue for visiting Cairns and surrounds
Great place to stay when visiting the Great Barrier reef and Cape Tribulation - central location for visiting the sights in Cairns and far north Queensland. Room was comfortable with great cooking facilities and bathroom. Well suited for my family.
Verified traveler
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.

Clean and spacious very private
Sandy
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.

Good value family holiday
Overall good value for a family. Appartment was old and couches uncomfortable but the beds were good and reception was lovely. Pool to cold, loved the wallabies that come visit each day
Verified traveler
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.
Verified traveler
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
Barry
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!

We were upgraded to a 2 bedroom unit with a king size bed. A little out dated but good for us .the grounds and gardens were amazing.

Kerry from reception was fantastic to deal with. We had commitments that required us to request an early check-in and it was seen to without any difficulty and with a happy face 😁

Quiet and safe. Privacy was great. Pool facilities were lovely. Apartment was perfect for a family holiday. Netflix was a big winner.

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.

I liked everything about Marlin Cove Resort. I would definatley stay there again when I am in Trinity Beach. Perfect location to visit all the attraction and on 52 klm's from Port Douglas. Fantastic

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.

Room smelt like sewage until aired out and would have been nice to have a TV in the main bedroom.
Water pressure was fantastic !

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.

There was not a directory in the room to say how to contact reception or any other room .No phone in the rooms. he pools were full of debri from winds which should have been attended to more than once a day. would not swim in lap pool with all the mess .but overall the units were lovely and we enjoyed our stay.

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
