Hotel Crystalbrook Riley

131-141 The Esplanade, 4870 Cairns, Australia – Excellent location – show map

Couldn’t fault our stay at the Riley. Service was exceptional, breakfast was outstanding, and the pool facilities were excellent. Only note with the pool is make sure you get in early to secure a spot, deck chairs are at a premium. The QR code for poolside ordering of food/drinks was a nice touch. Rocco rooftop bar in the tower was sensational, albeit a bit pricey. Definitely worth making time to check it out at least once during a stay, and they had good happy hour/cocktail specials ranging across the week. We tried to book in for a treatment at Elemé Spa, however were told they are usually booked two weeks in advance. The staff went out of their way to try and fit us in, and we ended up going to the newly opened Elemé at the Crystalbrook Flynn, a short walk down the esplanade. An excellent way to wrap up our trip.

The pool area is the best place to relax and have cocktails. The whole hotel is so fancy it really makes you feel like you are on a tropical escape. The bed and room is beautiful, the bathroom is also amazing. Black out curtains was great and the roof top bar is a nice touch.
