5 stars all round you guys honestly earnt it, the reception lady (sorry for not remembering your name) for check in was very friendly and informative and made sure it was known we could just come see her with any question or any needs for our room, we had room 3102, it was truly a home away from home, as our family walked in it was clean and tidy even through the rush of early check in which we greatly appreciate you guys making sure it was ready for us. Loved the open kitchen full of utensils fancy and both rooms set up so well and the washing machine and dryer amazing then right out our back door was a very nice spa and pool area which looked even better at night, we also tried the palm cove tavern food was really nice everything was pricy but truly did level out price for quality and was worth it in the end so to me 5 stars are definitely earnt hands down thank so much to you all for such a great stay a home away from home

The second time we've stayed at Drift in Palm Cove and we would stay again. The property has everything you need and is in the perfect location. The only thing that would help would be a heated pool, however you don't really need it if you go in the Summer.

I really enjoyed this place. All amenities were great. Check in was my only issue. Check in was listed at 1400. I arrived shortly after this & I was told the unit wasn't ready. This was shortly rectified. There's also renovations happening at the moment so quite a bit of noise during the day. Otherwise a comfortable relaxing stay

The apartment was great (location, etc.) but the furniture was all pretty beat up and really needed replaced. There was also construction going on around the pool the entire stay, which was rather inconvenient. Staff were helpful but sparse.

Hardly ever write reviews but compelled to do so on this occasion. Photos show laminate floor boards, ceiling spot lights and indoor plants - it looked really nice and drew us in. The reality was different. Our 2-bedroom apartment was very, very tired and worn out and in desperate need of updating. All furniture was extremely worn out and needs to be updated. Beige tiled bathrooms, beige/off-white tiles in open plan living/kitchen/dining space, very worn out beige carpets in bedrooms, nil support in dining chairs; you sink into them. The lounge/sofa in living area also needs updating; worn out, stains, nil support. Nil indoor plants. Provide insect/mosquito repellent coils to use in balcony. The iron in the room had a frayed cord with wires visible. We thought it was unsafe to use and took to reception. The brought a different iron (with cap for the water compartment for steam missing) but at least it was safe to use. There is +++ black mould in the rubber seal of the front-loader washing machine and in the detergent dispensing drawer - this can be prevented by good hygiene practices, irrespective of the location being far north QLD, since there was no mould/mildew anywhere else in the apartment. The reception staff were always extremely attentive and helpful!

Room itself was not clean. Dust behind the bedside tables, tv unit and on the side of the washing machine. Dust all over the ironing board. Beach towels provided to us with stains. Dryer door kept falling off. Great location and nice pool.

The apartment was adequate for our needs, clean, comfortable and with extras like washing machine and dryer, microwave/airfryer/convection plus hotplates. The pool area is lovely and access to everything was an easy walk plus right on the beach. We would definitely go back.

I had an amazing stay at Drift. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere felt calm, stylish, and welcoming. The design is modern and minimal yet incredibly comfortable, and every detail feels thoughtfully curated.
My room was spotless, cozy, and beautifully put together — the kind of space you look forward to coming back to after a long day. The bed was especially comfortable, and the little touches throughout the room made a big difference.
The staff were friendly, professional, and always happy to help with anything I needed. Check-in and check-out were seamless, and the overall vibe of the hotel was relaxed but refined.
The location was perfect as well — easy to get around, with great spots to eat and explore nearby.
I’d definitely stay at Drift again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, stylish, and memorable place to stay.
