Hotel Rydges Esplanade Resort Cairns

209-217 Abbott Street, 4870 Cairns, Australia – Great location - show map

Friendly staff, easy walking distance to Cairns, Room is dated but functional. Cleaning of room is only by request.

Julie

Australia

Close to the esplanade and cafes and only a short walk from where we had a function. Close enough to walk to town and other attractions such as the aquarium. Room was large and clean and the pool was impressive,

Ross

Australia

location suited me mountain view was good. staff was very helpful when asked questions

Robert

Australia

Good location , staff helpful and friendly, great gym

Donald

Australia

This hotel is excellent for those looking to be near the action, rather than right in it. It is a little further down the boulevard than some of the other hotels and as such, is quieter and has a different outlook. It would be perfect for families and those looking for a slower pace to their holiday. You can still walk to where you need to be, it will just take you a little bit longer.

Alex

Australia

Great location just up the end of the esplanade and only a short walk to the main restaurant strip and attractions. Good little bar downstairs. Lovely pool area. Didn’t get around to eating in the hotel restaurant but Muddys restaurant nearby was great for breakfast. Many other places in walking distance to eat at. Was travelling in a group of 8 and we all had rooms nearby which was convenient. We got a great price at less then a $100 bucks a night for a large spacious room.

Warren

Great location, staff very helpful and if needing transport a taxi is available in 2 minutes.

Trudy

Everything. Was clean, friendly staff. Food is exceptional and prompt.

Kasey

All staff were very helpful. Good value spot on the beachfront, far enough away from the crowds in the centre of town.
