Rydges Esplanade Resort Cairns 4 stars
Hotel in Cairns
Overlooking the Coral Sea, Rydges Esplanade Resort Cairns offers rooms with a private balcony and city, mountain or ocean views. The location was excellent, we could walk to the lagoon boardwalk easily and get to restaurants in about 10 minutes. We also booked a day at Kuranda Rainforest through a tour company downtown at the recommendation of the hotel concierge, who advised that it is easy to find a good deal by trying a couple tour companies and comparing prices. The room was luxurious, spacious, and clean. We tried the breakfast one morning, which was a bit expensive by my taste, but it was varied and not bad. You can buy a drink at the bar or even at a vending machine to take back to your room, which was fun. The hotel concierges were all very friendly and helpful.

I love Cairns, one of my go to locations. My favourite thing to do is go snorkelling on the reef, swim with turtles and see the fantastic corals and fish. Great food scene, recommend the Atherton table food trail. Also like visiting the rainforests and visiting the Art galleys and markets.

Due to us shortening our stay, the things out of town, eg Atherton Tablelands, Port Douglas area, Daintree were not visited. However, we will definitely come back to visit these other areas, probably this time next year as the weather during our stay was fabulous - ranging from 26 - 29C each day. There was an abundance of great eating facilities which we enjoyed daily.

Cairns is a great place to visit in winter to escape the very chilly southern cities eg. Melbourne, Adelaide etc. Great selection of eating & entertainment spots. Foreshore is a lovely walking area at anytime, but especially pleasant at night with a massive choice of venues to just hang around - eat, drink and relax.

I was bit disappointed actually after waiting years to visit, however I wasn't able to explore alot so I imagine it may be better then I am perceiving if I was able to see more. However I didn't get the feel you do from some places like you would want to live there, well not right in city anyway.

The drive up north to Cape Tribulation from Cairns (stopping at several locations like Port Douglas and Cairns northern beaches) is a must. Beautiful rainforest canopy over the road at several locations and views of the Coral Sea alongside the road are amazing. I also recommend a day trip to Fitzroy island; take the 45 minutes track to Nudey Beach and be rewarded with a magnificent coral beach where you can actually walk through reefs and see beautiful fish, not to mention having a swim in the clear turquoise waters. Another nice drive from Cairns is to the Atherton tablelands, including the waterfall circuit; Milla Mills falls are truly beautiful!
