I just recently stayed at the cairns coconut resort. It was located about 20 minutes from the airport and Fleet Dr. where most boats leave to do exertions for the Great Barrier Reef. The grounds are well kept and the bungalow I stayed in was spacious (luxury villa). However, because the resort is a camping ground, the bungalows are rustic. So if you want luxury, you're better staying in a hotel. Other than that, I liked having a space for my rental right next to the bungalow, there was also a washer and dryer, and the kitchen was stocked with utensils, bowls and spoons in case you wanted to save money and make your own meals.
