5.00I got a free upgrade to a nice car, and the driver, Edric, was kind enough to return my room keys to the resort after I accidentally took them to the airport.
Warm and friendly.

5.00Efficient and friendly assistant at the airport desk. The driver of the van went out of her way to deliver our 2 young teenage boys to their destination in Palm Cove. We were most impressed and grateful.

2.00Over half an hour late arriving at the airport to pick us up for the transfer. No apology. Nobody came to tell us what was happening during the delay. The bus that was there when we reached the bay (20 minutes early) turned out to be for a private hire, as we were curtly told by a very rude staff member. Welcome to Far North Queensland!
