Great hotel in Cairns
Great hotel, lovely pool area and great restaurants and bars to enjoy the view over the sea. In a quiet area, good parking and easy 10min walk to restaurants and the marina.
Joyce, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing - 5 star all round!
Perfect stay. Super friendly staff, amazing room with an amazing view of the sea. Lovely and relaxing pool area, great location (near all restaurants), parking on site was easy and good value. Breakfast excellent. We were allowed late check (midday) which was great and could even use a spare room at 2pm to shower and get ready for our evening flight back home. We have stayed in a lot of places and this is as good as it gets in terms of luxury and service.
