we had a great time at the resort and cairns surroundings, we were only to stay at the lakes resort for 3 days but we liked it so much we stayed an extra 4 days.
thank you travstar for making it easy to find a place to stay and book.

Water in all the pools was too cold for the kids. Suggest at least two of the four be heated. Quite a walk into town and the early planes were loud being under flight path. But other than that a great experience.!

Right from booking with travstar and dealing with Natasha was great excellent service from your staff.Our stay at The Lakes Resort was tops very friendly staff very helpful as well the rooms were superb I think footstools would be great in the rooms.
Cairns is a lovely place for a holiday and I can say that taking time out to book with Travstar and just been able to walk in give them our name no hassels at all.
i would recomend to anyone wanting a real holiday to go visit Cairns.
We went out on the boat Quick Silver that wa fantastic and getting off onto the pontoon was incerdiable seeing the Great Barrier Reef was wow.
Thank you for organising our Motel for us that was great.
will go back again.

We loved it and would definately return. I was a little disappointed that every item became extra costs. Like the in-room safe costing $3.50 per day when every other hotel it is free.

Hi Emma ( travstar ),
We all had a lovely holiday, the weather was beautiful & so was the Lakes Resort.
We ate lots of sea food as it was so fresh & tasty. We don’t get sea food like that at home.
Travstar service was also excellent, your quick e-mails & organizing, made everything a breeze!
The only thing wrong ---- was it wasn’t long enough!!!!
Thank you all so much & hopefully we will be contacting you soon for our next holiday!
Regards Chris Perez.

The lakes was well set out and the food places were lovely relaxed rooms were lovely well stocked and clean I think the staff need to have more training on the info they give out some were more helpful anothers I know this happens but they are the front people you see and I heard other people complaining I would like to say thank you to Emma at your service who booked us she was great with all her knowledge of the lakes and surrounding areas and trip info I will book again though your company and will tell other how helpful you were Thank you agian

We had a very enjoyable stay. The Resort facilities were excellent. The only inconvenience was the resort is 4 KM frome Cairns city. The resort should offer a free shuttle bus instead of having to pay for the service. The cost of a taxi for family of 4 is the same as the cost the shuttie bus(one way $11). This adds extra cost on top of your accommodation. Overall we had a great time.
Thank you Travstar

Jo, we did call in to your office before we left Cairns to thank you for the great assistance you gave us with our holiday planning. Unfotunately we missed you. So thanks again for your very professional and prompt responses to all of our enquiries. The accommodation you recommended at The Lakes Resort was first class...we were very impressed with the apartment, the facilities and the outstanding attention from the staff...an excellent choice and much more relaxing than standard hotel accommodation.
