b. Which evaluation criteria did you used to evaluate the multimedia websites for your dream holiday? Why?
Currency – How frequent do they update the tours, prices for accommodation
Presentation and Arrangement – How they place their tours, accommodation, purchasing, etc on the page, so that everything is well presented, clear and concise.
Accessibility – Though this is a beach at Queensland, it can be accessed by me who is in Singapore.

I love the sun, the beach, the sea and I love to be close to nature that is why I chose to go to beaches for my holiday. Away from the hectic city and environment, to a place where there is nice scenery and sea breeze to enjoy and relax.
Palm Cove Homepage
On this official website for Palm Cove, Queensland, it gives me a very nice impression. Attractive images with short and sweet headings that talk about the activities which Palm Cove has. On the homepage, there are some features such as their contact, Google translation, Palm Cove Accommodation, Tours, Weddings, Region Guide, most importantly, the introduction of Palm Cove which covers almost half of the webpage.

Palm Cove Accommodation
Under accommodation there are 4 sub categories, Palm Cove Accommodation, Palm Cove Resorts, Palm Cove Apartments and Palm Cove Holiday Homes.
Palm Cove Accommodation
Cairns Accommodation in Palm Cove ranges from 5-star resorts and a 5-star private island retreat to condominiums and holiday villas. The choice is yours to stay in a fully self contained apartment, in one of Palm Cove 's resorts, with facilities ranging from a golf course, fully equipped gymnasium, restaurants etc, or in your own private holiday villa with all facilities. All mainland Palm Cove accommodation is directly on the beautiful beach or just a short stroll away.
The image below shows a list of different costs of each itinerary base on the day of the week. There is also ratings by public and if the ticket is sold, it will be stated in bold red. What I like about this is that they are very frank with the pricing and once tickets were sold out, they will update the page and notify the public. By updating, it shows a certain consistency and currency.
Palm Cove Resorts
The unspoiled tropical beaches of Cairns form part of the beautiful northern coastline of Australia.
Cairns itself has no beach but fortunately, just to the north there are several but none is so precious, so pretty, so casual yet sophisticated as Palm Cove, a magical destination offering a unique mix of casual ambiance and world-class facilities.
If you are looking for gymnasium, restaurants in front of your accommodation, child facilities, one of the high class Palm Cove resorts might be your choice. All resorts and accommodation places in Palm Cove have their own tour desk where you can book your trip to the Cairns Great Barrier Reef, Rainforest, Cairns Highlands or any of the many attractions nearby Palm Cove.
What I like about this is that public can choose what kind of resorts they want to stay in, all the resorts provided have different surroundings. It is special each resort architecture is different from the rest.
Other than that, once you have chosen the one you would like, you can select More Info or Check Availability, which I realised both are the same. Anyway, once clicking on it, you will be posted to a page where there is a list of rooms which you can choose from. May it be 1 bedroom apartment, 1 Bedroom Rooftop, Studio Spa Room, Etc. There are prices stated for each room and different days have different pricing.
Palm Cove Apartments
Palm Cove has a wide range of styles of self contained holiday apartments suited to all types of holiday travellers. From the luxurious high end apartment within a five star resort where you can choose to self cater or opt in for some 24 hour room service or just relax in the in-house restaurants, to the mid range three and a half star apartment complexes which may not supply room service but offer well positioned comfortable apartments with scenic views across lush green landscaping or the Palm Cove beachfront.
The budget conscious holiday maker looking to self cater whilst enjoying the beautiful surrounds of the Palm Cove beachfront esplanade and all it has to offer is also well looked after in Palm Cove with self contained apartments tucked in behind the beachfront esplanade offering all the comforts of home without the big resort prices.
Some of the apartment style resorts in Palm Cove offer in-house gymnasiums, tennis courts, a selection of swimming pools, babysitting services, in-house restaurants, and luxurious spa facilities.
Palm Cove Holiiday
The unspoiled tropical beaches of Cairns form part of the beautiful northern coastline of Australia.
Cairns itself has no beach but fortunately, just to the north there are several but none is so precious, so pretty, so casual yet sophisticated as Palm Cove, a magical destination offering a unique mix of casual ambiance and world-class facilities.
Imagine that instead of staying in a cramped Hotel or Resort room you could stay in a spacious luxuriously furnished holiday house or villa offering you the ultimate in privacy and facilities.
Most of the holiday houses and villas below have their own private swimming pool, BBQ facilities, kitchen and private tropical backyard. If you are looking for secluded privacy, this might be your choice.
Do as much or as little as you like and if you want to be under the crowd, enjoy your dinner or drinks in the afternoon and evening in one of the Palm Cove restaurants and bars which are only a few foot steps away from your accommodation.
All of the vacation houses and villas below are perfectly designed to celebrate your wedding in Palm Cove, or if you had your wedding ceremony already, your honeymoon will be unforgettable.
Why not bring your family and guests along and stay all under one roof (of course only if your mother in law is nice to you).
