'Dasheri' @ Mango Lagoon Resort

The apartment was extremely spacious for 2 people; it could easily have fitted several more. Very nicely decorated with thoughtful features for anyone’s taste, e.g. books to read, puzzles, board games, lots of comfortable seating, great kitchen with every type of equipment for cooking. The apartment was cool; hence no air conditioning was needed. Beds were very comfortable and there was good lighting for reading. My only complaint was about the noisy people frequenting the pool very late at night. Australians don’t know how to modulate their voices - always at full volume! The beach was 10 minutes walk.

Overall, I would highly recommend Dasheri for anyone visiting Palm Cove. Positive: We had a delightful stay at Dasheri, Mango Lagoon Resort! The staff were friendly and helpful. Post-checkout, leaving our bags with Reception was not a problem. Our spacious apartment was spotless, well-equipped, and just a 6-minute walk to the beach. The BBQ area was also well-appointed. Negative: Having the use of 4 pools was fantastic. I just wish they were heated.

Positive: Owner went above and beyond to accommodate us and the accommodation was well appointed with everything one could need. Generous supplies provided.

Perfect stay for a solo traveller Positive: Modern building, very clean, multiple pools, Negative: The mattress may of been a little old and can do with replacing.

expect the unexpected Positive: This is a privately owned apartment in the Mango resort, so communication is done via booking.com, and not the front desk. Check-in was smooth, clear instructions. The apartment itself was large and clean, all amenities as advertised, a short walk from the beach and close to a bus stop. The pools are beautiful but be wary that they are not heated and it is too cold to properly enjoy them in August. Negative: August in Palm Cove can get a bit cold, and there was no way to make the apartment warmer (A/C could only be set to cold air, and during the warm hours at noon if you opened the louvered windows at the back there was no barrier for insects). And no outside area for the apartment means you have to dry your beach gear on the sun lounges. And the weirdest thing for me was the utter refusal to offer form of luggage storage for a few hours after check-out. I have never encountered this in all my years of travel (and this is not a cheap motel), so was caught off-guard when I received this response the day before I was due to travel on an afternoon flight. For me, this was a major sour point, as there are no luggage storage facilities in Palm Cove (they sent a link that had 0 results in Palm Cove) and I had no car. So I definitely would *not* stay there again.
