Overall a pleasant stay, however location was a bit far from city centre than expected. Room was very spacious, great service, clean sheets and towels, nonetheless the hotel in general was a bit old, only the restaurant area and the pool was refurbished, rooms would probably need some updates (Though I would say 80% hotels in Cairns are pretty aged). Overall satisfactory given the price👍

Nice cozy hotel to stay in a beautiful town. Breakfast is pretty standard with limited options but good enough. Rooms are nice especially the upper floor with a sea view. Overall a comfortable stay.

A well positioned Hotel on the airport end of the esplanade. Room was spacious & comfortable, bathroom was clean & had great shower. Food both at breakfast & the bar menu in the evening was delicious with a good choice, would recommend the steaks + there’s no a good wine selection in accompaniment. Staff are all very welcoming, knowledgeable & helpful with local tour advice. We had a thoroughly pleasant stay here & wouldn’t hesitate to come back.
