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.

Honestly 10/10 what a great stay we had, coffee shops & food right there, beautiful beach & heaps of wildlife walking around, watch your step in the hotel (we were on the 4th floor and had to carry a little lizard down the elevator)

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.

Loved our stay! When we arrived the hotel seen multiple bookings with the same surname, they upgraded the other room to a two bedroom so we could be on the same floor, without being asked, amazing service. The apartments were great (beds a little on the harder side), the pool is amazing, walking distance to everything. We will be back :)
