My girlfriend and I recently traveled to north Queensland to snorkel the Reef and see the Daintree. We stayed at Mango Lagoon for 4 nights and couldn't have been happier with the experience! They were able to arrange very affordable transport from the airport for us even though I only called earlier that day and our flight didn't get in until 11pm. They also gave us a free room upgrade!! The place is very private, but it's still only a short walk to the beach and some great restaurants. I recommend it highly for people wanting a private getaway in one of the most exciting places in Australia!

We spent a week at Mango Lagoon earlier this month and can thoroughly recommend it. The apartment was roomy and clean. Both our apartment and the resort generally had a nice feel to it - very peaceful and quiet. Our kids (11 & 12) really enjoyed the variety of pools and loved the huge lap pools beautiful shady trees. Our stay was made all the more enjoyable by unseasonably great weather - not rain a drop of rain from 6 - 12 Jan with low humidity as well. Its a bit of a walk to the beach and restaurants but quite manageable. At night use the SHUTTLE BUG on 0447 288 447- an electric stretched golf cart shuttle service that operates around Palm Cove. At $6 for the 4 of us from The Rising Sun to Mango Lagoon its excellent value and a great way to see Palm Cove. The regular bus service is unreliable from the stop outside Mango Lagoon so its better to catch it down on the beach. Our apartment came with a car as well which was clean & perfect for us as we did our shopping in nearby Clifton Beach. On reflection we definately recommend Mango Lagoon for a good value relaxing break. Its not beachfront but when the ocean is off limits it really doesnt matter. Enjoy!

The resort meet everything I had read and the rooms and grounds were exactly as per the photographs on the site. I do have one gripe which was the bed which was very large but had springs sticking into your back. This would normally infuriate me but the rest of the room and price helped to calm me.

10 days of pure bliss! Could see alot close by, or laze around our room, which was a palace, bathroom for us and 1 for the kids! Never wanted to leave!
