Blue Lagoon Resort

“Relaxing and convenient”

We had a 2 bedroom unit on the 2nd floor of a block of units. The unit overlooked the heated pool and had everything we needed for a week stay. We used the heated pool mostly as the other pool was shaded and a little cold for us. The location of the resort was perfect, walking distance to beach, bu… more

We had a 2 bedroom unit on the 2nd floor of a block of units. The unit overlooked the heated pool and had everything we needed for a week stay. We used the heated pool mostly as the other pool was shaded and a little cold for us. The location of the resort was perfect, walking distance to beach, bus stop and restaurants. It was quiet and the beds were very comfortable. The reception person was very helpful and friendly with a last minute cruise booking. I would definitely stay here again.

Thoroughly enjoyed out time at Blue Lagoon Resort. Booking and checkin was easy. The reception staff where friendly, attentive and professional. Our one bedroom unit was well equipped, spotlessly clean and well maintained. Bed was super comfy. Although we had no trouble it was on the second floor up four flights of stairs with no elevator, some may find this difficult. The resort has two pools, one heated, that are also clean and well maintained. Location is great with several restaurants in easy walking distance. Have breakfast in the onsite restaurant. The eggs benedict was delicious and the servings are generous. The price was reasonable and cheaper than most other options around the northern beaches of Cairns.

“Disappointing!”

This place is more in the nature of an Airbnb property. It’s advertised as “self-catering”, which is property-speak for, “You do the cleaning, you wash the dishes, you put the rubbish out - oh, and we won’t change the sheets unless you’re staying for 7 nights or more.” It’s in a great location, c… more

This place is more in the nature of an Airbnb property. It’s advertised as “self-catering”, which is property-speak for, “You do the cleaning, you wash the dishes, you put the rubbish out - oh, and we won’t change the sheets unless you’re staying for 7 nights or more.” It’s in a great location, close to the beach, the tavern, a bus stop and a convenience store (there’s a larger, horribly expensive Night Owl a 15-minute walk back up Trinity Beach Road). Blocks 1 and 2 overlook one of the two lovely pools - and each other, so there’s absolutely no privacy on the balconies. Weirdly, the pool shaded by blocks 1 and 2 is unheated while the one in the full sun is heated. Go figure! The apartment we were allocated was adequate and nicely presented, but we could hear EVERYTHING said and done in the adjoining apartment. Be aware that the WiFi is sporadic. The woman at reception was extremely friendly and helpful at check-in (although she doesn’t like to be interrupted during her spiel), but the minute we had a problem her demeanour changed. Pool towels are $2.50 a pop for the duration of your stay. When I queried that, because I’d never come across it before, she declared, “I won’t argue the toss over $5.” Well, why impose such a silly charge in the first place? Trinity Beach is lovely, but we won’t be staying here again.
