Cairns Holiday Specialists: Reviews

4.4/5 (20 Reviews)
Colleen Drain 4 months ago

Positive experience: Paringa was a wonderful apartment for 3 or 4 adults in an excellent position, beautiful views both front and back. It is spacious, clean, the beds are really comfortable and has all the comforts of home. We enjoyed our week in Palm Cove immensely. The downside was the second bathroom has a high spa bath but NO walk-in shower. Also the elevator sets down between 2 floors, this leaves a small set of stairs to navigate up or down. Not ideal for elderly using a walker. However ,our Paringa apartment was a great place to spend some holiday leisure.

Cairns Holiday Specialists

Dear Colleen,the team at the Cairns Holiday Specialists are glad that you enjoyed your accommodation in Palm Cove village just north of Cairns city. It is the ideal destination for a beach holiday and offers easy access to all the tours and attractions that are on offer with The Tour Specialists. We look forward to you returning to our shores in the future. Please advise us in the future of any potential requirements you may have in the accommodation facilities and we will ensure to cater for them.Warm regardsThe Cairns Holiday Specialists

Fantastic experience: We are yet to have our holiday but the staff at Cairns Holiday Specialists was extremely helpful. I had questions about position of accommodation, quality, price and travel to and from Cairns. All of my questions were answered quickly and with concise information. If we return, I would use Cairns Holiday Specialists again.

Fantastic experience: Very helpful in planning our trip to Cairns. We especially enjoyed our dive outing with Tusa. Be sure to ask them to book you with Tusa.

Cairns Holiday Specialists

Ken thank you for your kind review of the Cairns Holiday Specialists and The Tour Specialists recommendations on Great Barrier Reef tours from Cairns. Once our guests inform our reservations team on the types of accommodation and tours they prefer we then set about to find the right availability and submit it to our cllients to make their choice. We are glad you enjoyed Tusa as this is a high end personalised Great Barrier Reef tour that ensures you see only the best reefs from Cairns for diving and snorkelling. We look forward to your return to Cairns.Warm regardsCairns Holiday Specialists and The Tour Specialists

Christine Gaydzis 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: So grateful to have found 'Cairns Holiday Specialists',! Rang early one Saturday morning after our initial accommodation had been cancelled a couple of weeks prior to our stay and the lovely Belinda not only found us an appropriate accommodation (we required a 3rd Bedroom apartment), she managed to find us an apartment at the beautiful Sea Temple. Everything from the initial call to reservation to payment was all quick and seamless and as they are all locals, Belinda was able to provide some helpful tips. We will definitely be using 'Cairns Holiday Specialists' for all our future trips.

Cairns Holiday Specialists

Christine we thank you very kindly for taking the time to write a review of the services provided to you by our valuable team member Belinda. Being locally based in Cairns we can offer good old fashioned services to help guests find not only accommodation but we can also provide information on the best tours and attractions in Cairns and the best restaurants to dine in. Sea Temple is a nice location for a holiday so we are sure you will enjoy your time with us in Tropical North Queensland. Dont forget to look at The Tour Specialists websiteWe look forward to being of assistance to you once again in the futureThe Cairns Holiday Specialists team

Negative experience: They leave you stranded when they go home. No care, no duty. Frail elderly people left after business hours. Qantas delay? Too bad Cairns Holiday Specialtists are special like Alan Joyce.

Cairns Holiday Specialists

Andrew I have read your comments and are a bit dismayed at whom you are actually cross at here? Was your Qantas flight delayed and you are cross at Alan Joyce if yes, so are a lot of other folks right now? Our office operates 7 days a week and we have a special After Hours Number which is written on your accommodation voucher. There is no message on this after hours number, this is a different number to the daily number. Also your Cairns holiday accommodations apartment/hotel number is on that same voucher, for any dleays or cancellations you are to call that number provided. We have been operating for over 18 years and we try and cover every base possible for our guests and provide you with all of the helpful and insightful documentation you need. When booking a holiday you must read and check all of your travel documentation before departure and ask any questions you may wish answered before commencing your travels. Please provide us with your full name and we can try and find you in our reservations system and give you a call to discuss the comments above.

Debra King 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Booked accommodation in Palm Cove with Cairns Holiday Specialists, who I’ve used in the past. They are a joy to deal with….very thorough and professional, and offer outstanding personalised service. Staff will happily organise tours and other services on behalf of their clients - information and updates are monitored and passed on regularly. I would highly recommend this friendly and professional company over the multi-site conglomerates.

Cairns Holiday Specialists

Debra your comments are so greatly appreciated by everyone in our team. It is very hard and costly to run a small personalised business nowadays but our team do it with great passion and that is why your comments are so cherished. Being local we are on the ground for all information a visitor needs when they come to Cairns and Far North Queenland. The team at Cairns Holiday Specialists and The Tour Specialists thank you for your business and look forward to welcoming you back to Cairns again in the future. Ps if visiting the rest of QLD and the Great Barrier Reef have a look at Barrier Reef Australia. Thank you Debra

Fausto Di Donato 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I'd like to thank Cairns Holiday Specialists for looking after us. A friend initially got it contact with them and booked on my behalf, as I was dealing with an urgent matter. I then engaged directly with them. Great responses and very engaging, providing me with all the information I needed. The accommodation was amazing with incredible views. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I will definitely be calling on Cairns Holiday Specialists again.

Cairns Holiday Specialists

Thank you Fausto for your very kind words and review on the Cairns Holiday Specialists services for your holiday in Cairns and Far North Queensland. It gives our team great pride when we read these reviews from our guests. So glad you enjoyed your time in our backyard and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

Jane Chapman 2 years ago

Negative experience: I booked a holiday last weekend with these specialists haha, that’s a joke, for the Easter holidays, and paid in full, my mistake! When I saw photos of the poor quality, dated, poorly located unit, within the peppers resort, palm cove, I spoke to them about cancelling and the cancelation fee. They said it was $60. It was actually $90, because they also kept the credit card fee. They lied. If it’s $90 to cancel it’s $90, not $60. In this time of fully refundable accomodation, they are taking advantage and making money for nothing!

Cairns Holiday Specialists

Dear Jane,Thank you for your comments regarding the services of Cairns Holiday Specialists above.Our team spent so much time with you on the telephone and via many emails throughout the holiday booking process and tried to assist you in every possible way we could over many days.All images of properties are on full display for you to view and you personally booked a particular apartment on line yourself and you yourself opted to pay in full at the time of booking online despite our advice for a particular apartment. (Note all apartments have to be in top condition to be in the rental pool)Our booking system does not allow you to proceed to the payment area until you "Tick A Box" that say's you acknowledge all the "Terms & Condtions" , it also gives you the option to "Pay In Full or Part Payment", it also tells you that you are responsible for "Your Own Merchant Fees from Your Bank" or pay via direct debit and not incure bank charges or merchant fees. You cannot proceed any further until you read these T&C and then tick the box that you have done so!FYI the apartments within the Beach Club Resort are some of the most popular apartments in Palm Cove.We have been trading as the Cairns Holiday Specialists for over 17 years providing wonderful holidays for thousands of couples, families and groups without charging fees for our knowledge, valuable time and our services, so we take offence to your comments above.We have no need to "Lie"to our customers, because if we did they would never return to Cairns Holiday Specialists and we would not have been able to survive such things as Global Financial meltdowns, cyclones, bushfires, floods, strikes and many many more incidents that have affected travel since 2005.Over the last two years since the most recent disaster of Covid19 we refunded our clients that requested a refund during Covid19.We chose to not act as other businesses such as airlines and cruise ships and hold clients monies. We returned their monies!They were all so very appreciative that they booked and re-booked and then re-booked again with us each time that they thought they could travel to Cairns, to then have us return funds back to them each time. They stuck with us and continued to book with us because we gave such great service and our time all for FREE and without payment.So it would be very much appreciated if you could please go back and re-read your written documentation and recall all the phone calls and then withdraw you review and its untruths from our page.

Stephen Ralph 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Two years ago I developed a holiday brief to organise a gathering of 42 family members from all over Australia with ages ranging from 1 to 89 including suitable activities. ALL of the team at Cairns holiday Specialists were involved to maneuver through lockdowns, border closures , rescheduling, cancellations......etc. etc. , right through to the last day of our visit. They all happily progressed each of the challenges and offered alternatives as required. The last two years has been a challenge for many so I encourage potential travelers whom are looking at a great holiday to visit this wonderful part of the world. Likewise I encourage you to call this crew as they are specialists and I can attest to their professionalism having worked closely with them for two years. Call them, I was glad I did.

Cairns Holiday Specialists

Hello Stephen, thank you so very much for your kind review of the travel services provided by the Cairns Holiday Specialists team especially Belinda of whom you worked very closely with over these past frustrating and very trying years to allow you and your generational family to have a wonderful holiday with us in Palm Cove FINALLY! We are so proud of the hard work and dedication our team (both front of house and back of house) put into ensuring each and every one of our clients bookings and travel arrangments are exacting to their requirements and needs. Cairns Holiday Specialists have been the leading local travel agent in Cairns for the past 18 years and we are fortunate enough to be entrusted with travel requirements with such nice people such as yourself through all sorts of ups and downs, in the travel industry. Being local we have our finger on the pulse at all times and are able to manouvre when needed. A BIG thank you once again for entrusting your business to us and we look forward to hosting you, your family and friends in Palm Cove in the future.Thank you StephenThe Cairns Holiday Specialists team.

Teagan S. 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I can honestly say that booking aspects of our holiday with these guys was one of the best customer service experiences I've ever had. We booked part of our accommodation through them and our tours. I wish I could remember exactly who I spoke with, but it was multiple people, and all were fantastic. The team went above and beyond for sure. I actually made a mistake on one of our bookings when I chose a Cairns pick-up for a tour but our hotel was somewhere else. A really nice person from Cairns Holiday Specialists rang me just to check that I was getting into Cairns for the pickup or if it was a mistake. If she hadn't rung, I would never have known and our tour wouldn't have happened! In another case, a reef tour operator cancelled our tour the DAY before, and another staff member really went out of her way to find other options for us that would suit our needs, even though she was having some tech trouble as well that day. Overall just an absolutely brilliant experience. They took away all the stress of organising and dealing with any issues. 100% would recommend people book through these guys, and when we come back, we'll definitely be using them again.

Cairns Holiday Specialists

Teagan thank you so very much for your review of our travel services we offer at Cairns Holiday Specialists. Our team works really hard to ensure you enjoy your well earned holiday and you come back and visit us again sometime in the future.

Amir Nanji 4 years ago

Positive experience: Average pub like food. You pay a good price for wanting to come to isolated locations. Edible with the assistance of some hot sauce and ketchup.

Cairns Holiday Specialists

Amir Nanji We are not sure what this review is all about as we do not have a restaurant we are a travel agent called Cairns Holiday Specialists? I think you have placed a review in the wrong company..
