What a spectacular holiday! It was everything you see in the pictures provided and more. The apartment was facing the beach, really close! We also had a full view of the pool which was massive and very clean with barbecue facilities as well as tables and chairs in a sheltered area. Everything was super clean including the beach area. There is a designated area in which you can swim because of jelly fish, never the less that didn't make it less enjoyable. The apartment was spacious, fitted with modern finishes. Equipped WITH EVERYTHING you could possibly need on your stay. Tumble dryer, washing machine, complimentary powdered soap. Bath and pool Towels, Iron, ironing board, washing rack, pegs, mop, bucket, vacuum, broom, dustpan. Extra pillows and blankets, picnic basket and camping chairs. Pots and pans(plenty of), electric frying pan, air fryer, toaster, sandwich press(big/family sized). Silverware(plenty of), whisk, tin opener, dishing out spoons, spatulas, wooden spoon. Cutting board. Dish rack, dishwashing liquid, dishwashing powder(for washer). Kettle, complimentary tea, coffee and milk(2 small boxes for 4 days) Olive oil, salt, pepper, clingwrap, baking paper. Massive fridge and freezer Storage containers Plates, saucers, bowls, cups, teacups and mugs, Drinking Glasses big and small Wine glasses Conditioner, shampoo and enough shower gel all mounted onto wall in both showers(you won't run out. Very clean bathrooms.  master bathroom has two showers in one space and a fitted(luxurious) bathtub. The master bedroom is closed off by glass, one of my favourite places in the apartment. Beds were spaces, clean and comfortable. I fell asleep and woke up to the beautiful sound of the ocean. The balcony was spacious, beautiful white table an chairs and a pot plant. It also had two poolside chairs to relax on. I could go on and on... Overall, this was the best holiday I have had in a very long time. Worth every dollar.

The staff is super friendly, due to the off season we were able to have an early check-in which was great! The staff would show interest in our plans during our stay and they were very helpful. The location is fine enough, but the city centre isn’t really reachable walking, so we just took Ubers for like 8 dollars which was perfectly fine. The room itself was very clean it’s maybe a bit more old fashioned, but it kinda fit the ambiance of the hotel. In general I was very satisfied with my stay after traveling for so long, thank you hotel Tropiq!

Great barbeque option next to pool. Loundry sevices available. Nice and professional staff. Easy check in/out. Great conditioner in room. We had balcony with pool view, stay was good and silent (as we dont mind airplanes time to time flying close up to the hotel). Location close to everything, shop just next street and Lagoon walking 10-15 min. Would like to come back some day.

This resort is a gorgeous Mediterranean style resort. Facilities are good, landscaping and pools are beautiful. We stayed in two different units as we travelled in between. The units were different but both lovely - our favourite one was ground level with direct access to the pool but the 1st floor unit had a good view.

Reception staff were superb. in particular Molly who went to great trouble to move us to a quieter location. Being in our 70/80s the original cabin next to the children play area was a little noisy - to say the least. Molly moved us to. rainforest cabin which was a delight and very quiet.

The beautiful breeze was lovely whenever I sat on a comfortable seat on the grass near the beach... We thought the views were amazing in every way we turned on the walkway across the road from the Agincourt Beachfont...We will be returning. It will most likely be in the winter though, as humidity is very high in the summer for us, as a couple from the central coast, in N.S.W. Thank you! It is close enough for a drive to Cairns, Port Douglas and other beautiful spots.

A good alternative to the much trendier and therefore pricier northern beaches of Trinity Beach and Palm Cove. And definitely much quieter! A comprehensive shopping strip on the main street and of course not far from the large shopping complex at Smithfield. A few restaurant options available, including the yacht club. There is a bus service into Cairns CBD, but I would recommend hiring a vehicle for your stay. Taxis are very expensive.

Beautiful, quiet and relaxing (wasn’t crowded at all when we were there in June). Seems to be off the beaten path for tourists—seemed to be more locals there, so probably not typically as crowded as some of the more well known beaches. We probably wouldn’t have known about it if we weren’t staying at a house on the beach. Neighborhood is quiet and beautiful, although not a ton of beach parking for visitors. Beautiful walking path, small playground, picnic tables, incredible sunrises, sand is soft and silky, water is warm to wade in, however, swimming is not recommended due to possible crocodiles.
