Disappointed to have booked an ocean view room to have trees blocking the ocean view. Couch was extremely uncomfortable and was near impossible to get a hello from the staff on the front desk when leaving or entering the property

The value was excellent, the location is great, i have a small child so being opposite Muddys Playground was a bonus, the pool is quite deep and not suitable for small kiddies but the lagoon is ten minutes walk away. The staff were so friendly, welcoming and polite, the rooms were modern and spotless, the view was fantastic. Couldn’t fault it especially for the price and having on-site free parking was a bonus. Would stay here again.

The major advantage the Plaza has over other accommodation along the Cairns waterfront is price. The bed was very comfortable and the AC excellent. The kitchenette is tiny and the lack of a toaster (for fire reasons) and a freezer in the fridge is slightly annoying. However, ice is obtainable at reception.
