We honestly liked everything at maleluca , the position is awesome , rooms comfy and very clean , loved the pool , but most of all Lisa and her team were amazingly helpful and lovely to deal with , they treated us like family !!!! This is our new favourite place in palm cove and can’t wait to return
It’s honestly nearly impossible to find anything to complain about !!! If you are looking for a lovely place that feels like home , overlooking a beautiful pool and beach with awesome staff , this is it !

The resort is in a fantastic location, staff are very friendly, everything worked and it was nice and clean. Undercover car parking very close to the room so didn’t have to cart luggage very far. I thought the pool was great too! It has a walk in area so you can literally walk in and out without having to grapple with ladders or steps
The venue is older and as such so are the appliances and fixtures. With older gear comes the need for maintenance. There were a couple of small maintenance jobs requiring attention but nothing which affected our stay adversely; as stated everything was in working order, just a tad old and worn (e.g. toilet cistern, Tapware stiff and most likely partially blocked with calcium build ups).

Fabulous property, loved our apartment, perfect location! Located on the esplanade, right in the middle of the restaurants, cafes and other accommodation - could not be better. Views of the beautiful garden, the esplanade palm trees and the sea, so tranquil. Our apartment had everything you could need and the property owners were so helpful. We stayed for 6 nights and loved it here, so nice having kitchen facilities, a small dining table with 4 chairs, comfy couch & 2 armchairs, nice decor. Excellent having a washing machine, dryer, clothes horse and use of undercover clothes line downstairs. I really loved the balcony with 2 chairs, footstools and table, it felt private and just so relaxing sitting there with such a beautiful view. The property’s gardens are the best I’ve seen on our travels, just gorgeous, and there’s a lovely small lagoon pool with loungers and a BBQ area. I loved it!
I found the bed sheets stiff and noisy, but it didn’t bother my husband. The hairdryer was very basic, only 2 settings: hot & fast or hot & slow - needs updating!

Excellent location.-Across the road from the beach and walking distance to restaurants. Sea views from mist rooms , if not all. Beautiful gardens and pool area. Apartment a good size and has all we needed. Hosts very helpful and welcoming
Our fault but didn't mention my husband's walking disability and we were 5 lots of stairs up to our room. Next time, and we'd definitely come again, we'd ask for the lower rooms. Rooms are slightly dated now maybe a revamp for a more tropical look. However good size and comfortable

This is a great boutique resort with a personal touch and privacy, which we highly valued. It is close to the beach and close to the restaurants on the esplanade and all suites come with their designated covered parking. We loved the apartment and found it the perfect location to explore the Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef.

Lovely location across from the beach. Walking distance to the wharf and lots of restaurants and spa’s for a relaxing treatment. Short drive to cairns and port Douglas however palm cove is a much nicer place to stay. Nice pool area also.
A little dated compared to other accommodations however still comfortable and clean. We found the room was all we needed with all the comforts of home.

Great spot about in the middle of all restaurants. Right across road from on brach. Our room had a balcony which had a great view of sea. Room was a bit dated but comfortable. Facilities good full cooktop if you wanted to cook for yourself. We didn’t as there were so many lovely restaurants on doorstep. Undercover parking which was great. Managers on site and were very helpful. Aircon efficient. Pool and pool area lovely. Would definitely stay again. Bed comfortable although only double.
Bed could have been bigger but apart from that everything great.

This is a great place. Rooms extremely well equipped and clean, gardens wonderful, staff pleasant and helpful above and beyond requirements. Most rooms have a sea view, and good size balcony to enjoy your morning coffee or evening nightcap while enjoying the sight and sound of the ocean . It's within easy walking distance of the lifeguarded swimming area and all the good bars and restaurants, and also has a very nice onsite pool.
I'm not easily pleased but am happy to say there's nothing I didn't like about this place!

A beautiful spot, with lovely sea views. Handy to everything. Stunning sheltered pool, just loved it. Apartment had everything we needed for the week.
Internet was unreliable. The TV wasn't smart so we couldn't use smartview. Netflix link didn't work. Probably should have asked at the office, maybe just needed a reboot.
