*9.1* Cairns Esplanade: only 6 minutes away! (500 yards on foot)
This hotel is quite an ecofriendly - from room keys to complementary water in room. Hotel is split into different zones, has nice restaurant. Just across the road - promenade which lead to marina where lots of restaurants located.
RussiaStay here when it was a Rydes Trade Winds and loved the new owners renovations is top shelf. Room lacked sizable cups for tea and the coffee was questionable, but now I'm just being picky. I will return with the family again for sure!
