Argosy on the Beach

The property provides well-equipped units, a nice pool, BBQ, and ocean-front amenities. Conveniently situated near the beach, it offers spacious, quiet rooms with beautiful views. However, some guests find the location remote.

None of the photos on Booking presented the photos we received. Even though we booked it at least three months ahead, for three nights, we were put in a different room from what we ordered (afterward, the host told us that there weren't any rooms left) We updated the host that we will arrive at 8pm, apparntly this was too late for her to welcome us and we had to udesrtand our way to our room and its facilities. When we tried to call her for Wifi details and other questions we had, she never replied to our messages or answered our calls. The apartment we were put in was located on the ground floor with an open view to the street, we just felt unsafe staying there... The curtains didn't cover the whole window, and every person crossing could watch us. One of the most disturbing things was that there was a sharing window with the reception to the apartments living room - 0 privacy. If all this is not enough, there was a lick from the bathroom ceiling, and the room was absolutely dirty with hairs and rust everywhere. When the host finally answered our call on the next morning, she came and was very rude and arrogant - for every complaint we gave here, she gave us the most ridiculous answers, concluding her disgusting speech with "good luck finding other place to sleep in Carines" (which we found btw and was amazing).

Nice, comfy, spotless clean, spacious, ocean front accommodation with good facilities and located at calm laid-back area with good access to Cairns, Palm Cove and Port Douglas. The kitchen was very equipped. The living area was eastward and in front of ocean with the wave sounds. Bedrooms were westward, quiet, and you could hear birds sounds at morning and watch cute wallabies in the back yard at morning or afternoon.
