My husband, daughter and parents have just come home from a week in Cairns where we stayed at the Trinity Links Appartments. On entering the resort we were looked after personally by the onsite manager who was expecting us and made sure we knew everything we needed to know. She took us to our unit and insisted on carrying some of the luggage. We walked into the large three bedroomunit and were taken with how spacious and well appointed it was. The main had a king size bed with an ensuite, air conditioner, television and sliding doors onto a large balcony. Of the other two bedrooms, one had a queen bed and the other two singles. Each of these had air conditioners as well. The bathroom that these rooms shared was quite large. There was also a laundry with washing machine and dryer, so we could keep up with the washing even on holidays. The kitchen was fully equipped so you could cook as much as you liked. There was no restuarant onsite so if you wanted to eat out of the room you either cooked a barbeque down in the pool area or went into town.

One disadvantage of this resort is that it is so far away from the main part of town. It cost about $13-$15 in a taxi to get to town or esplanade where all the action was. There is a hotel bus that picks up and drops off at certain times of the day for $4 an adult or $2 a child. Things were easier for us after we hired a car for the remainder of our time.

The gardens and swimming pools were absolutely beautiful. Something for everyone. We all kept wishing we had a garden and/or pool like that at home. Plenty of shallow area in the shade for young children or those who just wanted to lay in the water. Waterfalls over rocks gave a constant sound of water as you relaxed on the lounges.

We certainly enjoyed our time at Trinity Links and would go again.
