Cairns is a beautiful place. It was our very first visit. The room was big with a nice big balcony with a great view of the mountains. The beds were comfortable, maybe a bit soft, but we didn't mind really. The buffet breakfast was basic but good. The staff were extremely friendly. They had a shuttle bus to and from the esplanade in the first half of the day which is quite nice. The esplanade is a good walk from the hotel, realistically it takes 20-25 mins. The pick up point to our tour was right opposite our hotel which was also very helpful. Our flight reached early in the morning around 9 and we had to wait for a few hours since the check-in was only at 3, but they gave us the room by 12, which was nice.

Location, location, location. Cheapest option on the beach , good value for money. Breakfast is good, it’s worth to ask for it. Suite is so spacious for a family. View is nice from the breakfast area/ pool. I was disappointed however that we were accommodated in the back tower front where the sea view is not the same as from the front building . I was tired to argue but it was very not nice gesture from front desk … considering that on booking.com I could still see for that night other sea view suits were free … so that is all from the front desk staff. If you book here a sea view , insist only on the front building suite.

Location was great, close to everything. Staff were friendly & accommodating but when we first arrived one of our rooms was not what we expected/booked. Standard triple room, should have been a king bed plus a single bed - we were given a room with a pullout sofa. When we queried this, staff member agreed we shouldn't have been given this room but if course all the standard triple rooms were now taken. We were moved to the older part of the hotel (away from other family), no ocean view but city. I guess minor things but not what we booked..

Clean. Good service from friendly and happy staff. The location is good, out of the main cbd area so it's not noisy but still less than 10min drive to get there. Rooms were quiet, first hotel where i didn't get woken up by neighbouring rooms talking, or talking in the hallways or banging doors. Daily room clean if needed which is nice. Nice garden and good view of the waters. Nice outdoor seating to eat and drink.

So glad we stayed here! Room was beautiful. Staff was extraordinary! Breakfast was amazing. Location was perfect for walking, cabs and access to the railway for our train to Kuranda. Staff was helpful, friendly, professional and full of wonderful information and tips, including how to use their free shuttle service to get closer to the train station. Breakfast really was amazing.
