We only spent one night here. Very clean, staff were really nice. Great view of the esplanade. No street noise in the room which we loved. Didn’t see the fine print about a $200 deposit even though our room was fully pre paid. 3-5 days to get it back. Not great. A microwave oven would have been very handy.

I really enjoyed my stay at Mantra Esplanade Cairns. The room was very clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The location is perfect — close to everything, including restaurants, shops, and the Esplanade lagoon. It made getting around Cairns so easy. I would definitely stay here again!

Infortunately my door handle was a little tricky getting in every time i left the room and there was a constant dripping sound from the bathroom although there was no dripping taps. I reported the door but not the bathroom as there were no maintenance on weekends.
