Only thing I could complain about was the condition of the balcony area. Tiled area in need of repair .

Friendly and helpful staff. The shuttle bus to the city centre was convenient. The hotel was accomodating even after we already checked out. Our view from the balcony was really nice.

I really appreciated time spent to book us in as we requested. Bar and food was wonderful including staff. Very friendly and helpful. Food to the room was also a pleasure. Giving us time to unwind. Thankyou. Desert was lovely but needed a small ice cream or cream to cap it off. Teramasu and strudel were the choices. Once again always enjoy staying with you.🤗

The property itself was fine but it's a bit too far from Cairns restaurants etc. No problem with the actual hotel but Cairns as a town itself is actually a complete dump! Disgusting brown, muddy water. There are sewerage pipes all along the water front where all the town's sewage gets dumped straight into the ocean, probably explains the colour of the water! It was a disgusting view and there is absolutely nothing to do in Cairns. Such a huge disappointment, waste of time and money!

Dear Guest,
Thank you so much for taking the time to review our hotel.
We are very glad that you had a lovely time in the hotel and hope you managed to take advantage of our complimentary shuttle bus which takes you all the way into the centre of town. We are sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy the city, our guests usually really enjoy the trips to the Great Barrier Reef, one of the many islands, a trip to the Tablelands, Rafting on the Tully River, the Aquarium and some of the many great restaurants Cairns has to offer as well as the swimming lagoon, a safe place to swim on the Esplanade. Please let our tour desk help you find the perfect trip if you decide to give Cairns another chance :)
We do hope to see you again soon.
