Check in was easy and the clerk was polite and genial. The rooms are large and we were in a corner room as requested. Beautiful views of he ocean. The location was perfect, no noise from the CBD but only a short walk to everything.

United States of AmericaBed was comfy. So nice to have comfortable chairs to sit in on the balcony. Loved the pool and the comforts around it.
AustraliaThe pools were amazing, and the hotel is right on the beginning of the esplanade. So walking to a ton of places was easy. Free, fast wifi was greatly appreciated as well. Great view of the pools and the coastline, and the rooms had modern amenities with free Nespresso pods.
United States of AmericaVery secure, lots of space. Excellent kitchen and bathroom. Very good floor plan and fit out. Great location. Secure parking.
AustraliaGreat place for relaxation. The pool is the real highlight here - it is gorgeous and you could easily spend the whole day relaxing poolside. The rooms are modern and clean. We also spent an afternoon at the spa which was a highlight of our time in Cairns. Well located to everything in Cairns.
