Angsana Great Barrier Reef Australia is in a Brilliant Location with great service

Where exactly is the Angsana Great Barrier Reef Resort?

The Angsana Great Barrier Reef has the most amazing position at Palm Bay north of Cairns on the east coast of Australia right at the northern end of the Great Barrier Reef. In fact it is the only resort in Australia that can say it faces the Coral Sea. Add to this the resort has the world's oldest rainforest behind it, and it is the only resort on palm bay with direct access to the beach 

How do I get to Angsana Palm Bay.

The resort is 16 miles from the airport at Cairns, and on request a vehicle will meet you at the airport.

Accommodation at the Angsana

There are sixty seven luxurious air conditioned suites, which anyone would describe as spacious. The decor is extravagent with Thai silk Drapes.

One of the lovely things here at Angsana is the principle that no building should be higher than a palm tree so the limit is four stories, which makes the whole resort really blend into the background.

As you will be right on the beach it would be a great idea to book an ocean front suite. For those used to European size suites, the accommodation could come as something of a shock. There is a fully equipped kitchen, and laundry as well; with  not only a large lounge but also a dining area. When you add to this two bathrooms you may have some idea of the scale of the suites.
Incidentally if shower water pressure is important to you then you will love the showers.

You will also have Miele appliances and the TV is flat screen .

Food at Angsana Great Barrier Reef

There is only one restaurant, and whilst the food is good enough, the service is a bit slow. The saving grace here is that you don't have to go far to find other good restaurants to eat in.

Facilities at Angsana Palm Cove

There are three swimming pools and a heated jet pool. Perhaps there is a little shortage of space around these pools, and consequently a lack of sunbeds, probably because the emphasis is on the beach. having said that swimming is tricky for more than six months in the year because of the jellyfish stinging risk. There is an area protected by nets if you feel you must swim, but that can be a bit off putting.


The Angsana Spa as you would expect from Angsana is an award winning experience with a huge selection of treatments that are unique to the resort.

A very useful facility is the library, where you can deposit the books you bought on the way out and replace them by books bought by others on their way here. A marvellous thought!! Add to this a DVD collection and even a bore family if the weather isn't up to much are kept happily quiet.

Staff at the Angsana Cairns

The housekeeping staff are extremely well trained and willing, so the suites are scrupulously clean and tidy.

You may however feel that no matter how willing and helpful the front of house staff are, that to be called 'mate' all the time is not really what you might expect from an Angsana resort.

Summary

Whilst Angsana aims to be one of the top Great Barrier Reef resorts it is pretty good but there is still work to be done. Having said that it is still pretty  good accommodation at the Great Barrier Reef.

If you have experienced Far East hospitality in five star resorts you may find the Angsana somewhat wanting. On the other hand if this is a first time, you'll find it pretty good.

Finally the Angsana offers unrivalled close access to the very north of the Great Barrier Reef
