This is the nicest resort we have stayed at, would recommend

great experience.
Wednesday, October 07, 2009

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.!

The apartment was superb
Friday, March 27, 2009

The apartment was superb and the facilities the best we experienced on the East Coast.

Cairns is a lovely place for a holiday
Friday, March 06, 2009

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.

Great friendly service.
Friday, March 06, 2009

Very impressed with facilities & at such a bargin price, would stay at this resort again! Great friendly service.

We loved it and would definately return
Saturday, January 31, 2009

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.

helpful staff
Friday, January 30, 2009

We arrived early at 4.50am from Tokyo and it was great to be able to check in early at 7am, thanks to the helpful staff at the Lakes.

Monday, January 26, 2009

Lovely large apartment
Monday, October 20, 2008

We had a lovely large apartment, close to the pools & BBQ.

it wasn’t long enough!
Thursday, October 09, 2008

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.

great place will recommend

facilities were excellent
Monday, October 06, 2008

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.
