I like Trinity Beach because it's out of the city of Cairns but only an easy 20min drive. It's a little closer to Port Douglas (about a 50 drive to Port Douglas) in case you'd like to go snorkelling out of Port Douglas on the Reef. It's a nice vibe near the beach with restaurants and shops.

Trinity Beach is a nice place to relax, a great alternative to the Cairns CBD. No much to do - which is a good thing - but wander, visit cafes and bars, swim in the pool or just relax with a book. Close enough to Cairns to travel to reef and other tours, or to Palm Cove for lunch - public transport is conveniently located.

A short walk to the beach. Lovely clean rooms. Kitchen had everything you needed. Plenty of towels for home and beach. Aircon in each room. Patio area where you enter. Would stay again. Have already booked the next trip.

While the beach at Trinity Beach drops off into deep water quickly and it was often choppy, lifeguards are on duty from 9 to 5 every day. They are all friendly and helpful. The water temp was wonderful for a quick dip or a longer swim. The landscaped area along the beach front is very clean and attractive with plenty of seating and excellent bbq and shower facilities. There is a good variety of places for coffees and meals.

Bed linen and pillows, towels. Location. Easy walk to beach, tavern, red cross shop. Short walk to other shops. Nice pool. Washer and dryer in bathroom. Washer very rusty. Tumble dryer new but last person didnt remove lint. Scruffy outdoor appearance, unkempt weeds. Dark, drab apartment. Very dirty oven. Wiped door and inside with paper towels, lots of black sheets. No baking tins. Had to re arrange cupboards to provide a space for food items. We were there 11 days. Bedroom had no available plug sockets. Bedhead covered only one and bedside lamps were plugged into those. Very old bedside clock unplugged on side. Same was true in lounge, single bed up against sockets on wall. We re arranged bed so as to gain sockets for charging our phones and tablets. Had a service half way through, which seemed to be linen change and vac only. No replacement of bin bag or toilet roll. We booked this by mistake. Thought we were booking next door, where we had stayed before, which is considerably nicer. We have also stayed at several other places, cheaper which were better. Sorry but room for improvement.

I enjoyed all of trinity beach from the blue lagoon resort, my studio appartment was great, opening my door onto the pool was really lovely and also there was another pool just a couple of minutes from reception it was a war water one to walking around the lagoon the tavern meals were great and the bar and grill on the corner really great place short walk up road to a little shopping complex and a fantastic boutique selling clothes and nic nacs bus takes you straight into big shopping on plexus at smithfeild, definitely will be going back didn't want to leave, the ladies in reception were really helpful
