The Cairns Plaza is in a well positioned location. It is clean and has good facilities. We arrived without notice after being evacuated from Fitzroy Island because of Cyclone Kimi. The staff managed a surplus of clients efficiently and courteously. Throughout the stay they promoted Cairns by providing good advice and consistently went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable and happy. Congratulations Cairns Plaza. We will be back!
