We rented a 3 bed apartment for one week in July. Anna, the property manager, is an absolute gem who couldn't have been more helpful throughout the stay. The apartment was reasonably well equipped though the kitchen could have done with an oven glove, more than one tea towel, cling wrap/foil, dishwashing tablets , toilet paper etc. A BBQ on the large deck would also be good as the communal BBQ is missing. The bedrooms were airy and comfortable. Reasonable amount of road noise but that is due to location. The outside deck had a thin film of dirt ? pollution that left all of our feet black when going out there...not sure how often it is cleaned. Nice but unheated communal pool.

I booked and pre-paid for three nights at this property - but would gladly have moved out immediately had I been able to do so. Reception seems to have very loose hours - I never saw anyone staffing reception. The carpet was stained and marked, the curtains were filthy and did not close properly. Doors and walls had crudely patched and repainted repairs. Garden bed was full of discarded cigarette butts and other litter. Bathroom taps were very hard to turn off - so drips were a constant source of annoyance. Laundry floor filthy. Ceiling lighting: 2 / 4 out of action. I asked Manager to repair or replace. No action. No response. No room servicing. Internet said this place had a restaurant and bar. Nope. Closed. A/con unit did not heat - but was so noisy I would not have used it even it it did heat the room. A very unpleasant experience all round. Do not stay at this property.

The hotel is an old hotel, cost-effective, location in the city center, walk to the pier by boat, seven or eight minutes walk. Parking is not convenient. If you rent a car, it is not recommended to book this hotel. There is a Jiachuan restaurant under the hotel. The taste is good, but the price is expensive. The spicy tofu is AUD 23. The most expensive spicy tofu ever.

Nice large clean room, plenty of tea, coffee etc. provided. Staff very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Raintrees Shopping centre across the road where busses leave for the city every few minutes, there was even a covered waiting area just outside the resort for tour pick ups. I definitely recommend Palm Royale.

Good location, and only a short walk from shops, bars, restaurants and the reef cruise terminal. Large rooms with all things you would need for a short stay although the room we stayed in was dated. I believe there is a room modernisation programme on the go. Quite noisy at night, not sure if it was coming from the hotel bar area on floor 3 or from a nearby establishment. Our room was on floor 10 and even with the balcony door closed it still kept us awake. Staff were pleasant and helpful and rooms serviced daily. We booked this hotel in July 2022 with breakfast included. It came as a surprise to us when we took breakfast on the first day that we only had limited choice from the menu. All other items including larger breakfast items, juice and coffee were charged extra. Due to time limitations on the first day we left it till later to complain. Reception explained that there had been a change of management and had discontinued the buffet breakfast in favour of an al a carte one. They phoned the restaurant and authorised full breakfast free of charge for us. As we had paid cash for extras the previous day, this was now lost. We always check booking.com and trip advisor reviews before making reservations. My advice would be to ignore those prior to July 2022 and especially ones that mention breakfast.
