"This is our second year in a row at Cairns Coconut Resort. We loved it last year and loved it even more this year. So many things to do just at the resort, to keep the kids busy, from pools, water slides, water parks, bike hire, mini golf, games and our favorite the lagoon, where the kids can swim and play safely in the shallow end and with us in the deeper end. And Ofcourse the amazing cafe as well - great coffee and food. Love this place and will come back again next year. Will always recommend this resort."
