Pullman Palm Cove Sea Temple Resort and Spa - Palm Cove, Queensland

We had a wonderful stay in Pullman Sea Temple Palm Cove. The lagoon style pool was bigger than it looks in photos and there is plenty of space for everyone to enjoy the facilities without it feeling crowed. The resort is very well maintained and our 1 bedroom roof top apartment was perfect. It was modern, clean and spacious and on the odd rainy afternoon we could retreat to the upstairs area. I would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a relaxing time away.

I love it here!! Everything is centred around the pools and you get an amazing view out on the pools. Cairns is quite warm so after being outside it was bliss to step into The cool aircon. The staff are really friendly and helpful and everything was clean and neat. Love it here would definitely go again!

Overall a very peaceful stay with courteous staff. Loved the high end Nespresso pod machine.

A few things to be improved:
The tiled floor is moist due to high humidity. Staff can come and wipe upon request but a more advanced solution is to install dehumidifying function in the room.

Water leaks through the hinged glass door when showering thus spilling onto the floor.

No Type C charging outlets.

Overall a very wonderful stay.

Our wedding reception at the Sea Temple in Palm Cove was absolutely fantastic! The space was more than big enough to comfortably accommodate our 60+ guests, creating the perfect setting for our celebration. The team was incredibly understanding and accommodating of our specific ideas, ensuring that every detail was just right. Their flexibility and willingness to cater to our vision made all the difference. If you're looking for a wonderful venue with a beautiful atmosphere for your wedding reception, this is the place to be!
Love Shaun & Zoe

My wife and I booked 3 nights ; first night just for us, so we got rm 411, normal dbl - the next 2 nights we were joined by our sons, so we moved into 410, a 2-bdrm 2-bathrm apartment with kitchen, lounge and enormous rooftop entertainment area, spa & BBQ.|The apartment feels like a house, with all the space and amenities that you could want. Great space, walk to beach, choice of sensational pools, . . . top value for money. We had breakfast near the pool ; it is a la carte, well presented, healthy choices and delicious.|It looked like the occupancy was very low and (probably because of this) there were very few staff around ; we had a long wait at reception, but more importantly, breakfast staff were clearly under pressure (which was reflected in the short-tempered attitude of the manager). I would think this will be better during the Tourist Season.|Overall, Temple Resort is an enormous and magnificent complex (running & maintenance costs must be huge) - it is a wonderful place to spend some quality time to re-charge the batteries. We'll be back !

Rooms are quite nice, 2 bedroom apartments are spacious and well equipped. For a 5 star resort thought there is very skeletal staff and service is not great. Phone goes unanswered a lot, they run low on pool towels. Food and drinks are also very, very expensive. No buffet breakfast, a La cart breakfast took a really long time as they are low on staff so expect long waits. Lagoon pool is beautiful. Some reception staff are lovely, others not so much. Free WiFi doesn’t really work.
Walking distance to corner grocery store but everything there is also overpriced.

Stayed at Sea Temple with my husband for a few days. Overall a great property and location.
The fitness room is pretty pitiful, but I may be the only person that uses it.
There are multiple pools, a suggestion would be to designated a pool area as adults only, so people who don't want to listen to children playing and crying don't have to.
Easy to walk to town area for food.
