Fodor's Expert Review Bay Village Tropical Retreat & Apartments

227 Lake St., at Gatton St., Cairns, Queensland, 4870, Australia

The sociable public areas at this family-friendly complex include a lovely lagoon pool, an Internet area, a guest laundry, and the terrific Bayleaf Balinese Restaurant & Bar. The main complex offers simple but spacious double, family, and studio rooms, some with balconies. The second-floor rooms are quieter, if you don't mind lugging your luggage upstairs. Across the road are two- and three-bedroom apartments (A$220/A$320 per night).
