“What I particularly appreciate is the central location of this resort in Palm Cove, right on the esplanade, giving immediate access to restaurants and shops. The apartments are self-contained, offering fully equipped kitchens, but it's the garden views, especially from the balconies, that create a tranquil escape. The lagoon-style pool and in-pool spas contribute to the relaxing atmosphere that many seek in this area.”
