Paradise in Cairns

Earlier this month, my sister Annie and I went to Cairns. We stayed in Paradise Palms Resort and Country Club, which I had found one night in one of those deal sites called OurDeal.

Paradise Palms is located in Kewarra, approximately 30 minutes north of Cairns along the Captain Cook Highway. You can view Google Map here.

We stayed for six nights in a one bedroom apartment. My sister and I could have easily stayed in that apartment for our entire stay but with the whole of Tropical North to explore it would be such a shame to. So instead, we used the apartment as our base as we explored the surrounding areas.

We were pleasantly surprised that the photos on the web site were a true reflection of the accommodation, the restaurant and the golf course. We had our daily breakfast - my favourite was the fruit platter with the beautiful fruits, yogurt and honey. We were also able to convince the helpful staff to let us drive the golf cart - without having to play golf. Every morning the reception and restaurant staff would greet us warmly and enquire about our day. We always had something happening so we were quite busy - and chatty.

Over the next couple of weeks, I shall blog about our experience and post some photos.

In the meantime, here are some photos of Paradise Palms.
