Disappointing Stay – Not Worth the Price Stayed here recently and was quite underwhelmed. The room was small, congested, and well below average for what you'd expect at this price point. There were no laundry or kitchen facilities, which was highly inconvenient for a longer stay. The bed was an old-fashioned bonnet type and extremely uncomfortable. Add to that the outdated and poorly maintained walkways and verandahs – the whole place felt neglected and far from welcoming. Parking was another issue, with very limited spots available, making it a hassle if you're driving. Frankly, this should be a budget option priced under $100. There is absolutely no justification for charging over $200 per night. The property is overhyped and does not deliver. You can easily find far better accommodation in Cairns for the same or even lower cost. Would not recommend.

Located far from central cairns, will need a car / uber to get around really. As soon as we arrived the room was infested with cockroaches - baby cockroaches in the kitchen and bathroom, much bigger ones under the fridge and in the cupboards. Make sure you deep clean all crockery before using it, they often run over it in the cupboards. We left no food out and still found cockroaches in our luggage, toiletries bag, ect. Room was fairly clean, still a bit dirty, but also very dingy and damages - lots of marks and stains all over the walls and floors, ect. Can hear people walking past at night very easily. Staff were nice.

Overall I had a pleasant experience with this Resort. At night it was a bit of noisy. People were talking loudly and playing music up to very late and sometimes kids running on the walkway loudly as well. But other than that staffs were friendly, all the facilities are great. My kids love it. Both restaurants are great and serve different varieties of food.

Not bad

Resort is a little tired & there was a problem with very small ants around the sink and also bathroom but generally pretty good. Enforcement of no smoking around room entrances as well as noise from kids at night outside rooms and early morning around the pool needs to be improved.
