Room was lovely, modern & clean. Service was terrific. Buffet breakfast was fabulous! We also loved the outdoor dining - kids had a great time running around the enclosed area while we enjoyed dinner. Only disappointment was the pool which is looking very tired. Shabby deck chairs were a bit worse for wear and it all just needs a big refresh.

Service with a smile.

Fantastic service from being greeted at the door to pool bar and room service. Relaxing. convenient and comfortable. My daughters 40th and she was treated with a lovely cheese platter, champagne on ice and maccaroons which was sweet. Oh I also got 2 free cocktails on arrival to enjoy at the pool bar. My only advice though if you have any difficulty walking or a poor sense of direction it could be tricky. Awesome place to stay.

Dislike We had to pay a parking fee to have our car in their car park each night. We chose this property for the convenience of being only walking distance to the Esplanade. As its all paid car parks in the city of cairns... Otherwise we were smitten with the property itself. Plus they charged an extra $100 per night as a security bond on our room. We are still waiting. 6 days later fir it to be deposited back into our bank. They said it only takes 2 days.

I loved the facilities including the pool, gym and cafe. The convenience was excellent with lots of dining options and cafe, and close to everything. The room was clean and well maintained, with also many convenient and thoughtful features like USB powerpoint and an alarm clock with wireless charging station. The view was amazing as well, not to mention that we paid extra for the view. Only the cleaning side was a bit disappointing… housekeeping staff forgot to clean the toilet bowl often, and it was left open. When we woke up late and the first round of cleaning was not done, housekeeping wasn’t done until 5pm when we come back. Other than this, we enjoyed staying.
