The Lakes Resort Cairns

Appartm

Clean, comfortable and affordable

The room was very neglegeted. Was not clean. Felt like a dark room were we had to have lights on. Bedding was absolute disgusting and dirty. Its was like they came out of a dump master. We had to go and buy pillows the next day. The mattress was all torn and stained and not even a mattress protector was on. carpet in the bedroom was filthy and tacky. Tried calling property management twice. as we arrived late Friday night. No answer. Only half a roller of toilet paper was supplied, no body wash, so I had to buy that too. I have stayed twice before, no problem. This place is so run down now. No where to even get up in the morning and sit to have breakfast or coffee at the cafe as that is closed. Sauna out of order. Pools run down. The lap pool and the one next to that was in decent condition Apartment was so depressing, we would leave in the morning and come back at night. Absolutely not a resort vibe. originally told they were moving us into a different apartment cause of a problem and into one upstairs only we were in the down stairs on. This was a couple days before arriving. We were in apartment 1306. Place looked like it was cleaned with a dirty rag. Mirrors and windows. I could write clean me in the grime. Didn't bother cooking anything. 3 knifes all as blunt as a door nail. All I can say, 1 you definitely need a car and 2 thank god the weather great so we could leave.

The property is dated. It is not a 4 star resort. The signage out front is

no elevator
