Amazing Family Vacation Spot!
Beautiful apartments tucked away just off the Esplanade, easy walk to shops and restaurants and easy 5min drive to Coles for supplies. Rooms were perfectly suited for 4 adults and 2 children family vacation. Rooms were very clean and spacious. Grounds were lovely and the pool was really great for the kids! Would definitely recommend!

The Sanctuary is exactly that - a beautiful, calm and comfortable stay in paradise. Picturesque setting by the sea, comfortable, clean and spacious apartment and clean, high end facilities in and outside the apartment. We absolutely loved our stay and would recommend it to anyone wanting to enjoy a few days of peace and tranquility in a gorgeous setting.

Gerhart and staff were absolutely fantastic. Friendly and helpful. I accidently lefy my mobile phone in our studio apartment upon check out. Didn't realise it until 90 mins drive towards home. Just one phone call to the office and it was on it's way via Auspost. Thankyou to all involved. Palm Cove and North of ,is Paradise.The scenery is breathtaking and the Sanctuary Palm Cove accomodation was very pleasing. We'll be back.

If you are a family with young children this is a perfect place to stay, but if you are looking for peace and quiet you will need to stay elsewhere. While the resort staff are unable to discipline the children of guests, the fact that the children in the apartment above us screamed and cried from 6am until late at night every day made it very difficult for us to relax. We thought we had booked the one-bedroom retreat with spa, but when we arrived at the venue we were given a different apartment.

The family running the property made the stay so easy - they supported an early check in and late check out and were always on hand to answer any questions. The pool is fantastic and the grounds are well looked after. We will be back!

The property was just like the pictures - beautiful and clean. Only thing we would have liked to add is cleaning services. We were there for 4 nights but apparently they provide free cleaning only after a week of stay. For beach days with sand in the bathrooms etc a more frequent cleaning would really help
