I had a lovely stay at The Lakes. The complex is large with beautiful gardens and multiple swimming pools to enjoy. While my apartment was spacious and had all necessary amenities, it did feel a bit bare and could use some more decorative touches. The dining options within the resort were decent but limited, and it was quite a trek to the nearest restaurants. Additionally, the noise from the nearby airport was a bit of a nuisance, especially in the early morning hours.

The resort has beautiful grounds and fantastic facilities, making it appealing for families. However, the cleanliness of the rooms was disappointing, and the service varied significantly. While we enjoyed some aspects like the spacious layout of our apartment, the overall experience was marred by inconsistent cleaning and some unhelpful staff interactions.
Rooms

We had a spacious two-bedroom apartment that was well laid out, but the cleanliness left much to be desired. Upon arrival, we found long hairs in the bathroom, and the overall dustiness was quite off-putting.
Service

Service was hit or miss; while some staff members were helpful, others seemed distracted and uninterested in assisting us, especially with our luggage.
Location

The resort is a bit away from the central areas of Cairns, which can be inconvenient without a car. We had to rely on taxis, which added up quickly.

Dining in the resort restaurant was a frustrating experience. We faced long wait times, and the meals did not meet our expectations, particularly for the price.

The resort offered lovely grounds and multiple pools, but the pool waters were too cold for comfort. It's a pity because the setup is quite nice.

The resort has a stunning appearance, with beautifully landscaped grounds and spacious apartments that make for a comfortable stay. The swimming pool facilities are excellent, and the staff are very accommodating, making sure guests feel welcome. However, there were some hiccups with the breakfast options not being as advertised and noise levels from outside affecting our stay.

We stayed in a spacious one-bedroom apartment that was well-equipped with a kitchen, laundry facilities, and a comfortable living space. It had everything I needed, although I wish there were more towels available.

The staff were always friendly and helpful, but I did find myself having to ask for our mid-week service, which felt a bit inconvenient.
Location

The location is generally quiet and offers a relaxing atmosphere, yet it's a 20-25 minute walk to the nearest shops, so having a car is handy for convenience.

The dining options were mixed; while I enjoyed one of the themed nights, the breakfast was a letdown due to limited choices. I expected a buffet and ended up with a menu that didn't meet my expectations.

Our stay was quite mixed. We enjoyed a spacious apartment that was clean and had a lovely view of the pool. The well-maintained grounds and the number of swimming pools were definite highlights. However, the resort itself felt a bit tired with outdated facilities and some broken amenities. Overall, while it was decent, it didn't live up to our expectations in several areas.
