I have stayed at this hotel a few times over the last ten years and every time has been wonderful. This visit was no exception. The hotel reception and other staff were so welcoming and helpful. Rowan the night duty manager was incredibly accommodating and we wanted to thank him personally for going above and beyond. Looking forward to our next visit to Cairns and hope to stay longer.

This hotel is in a great location, close to everything, the marina, night markets, the esplanade. It’s a bit dated, but the staff are doing their best to offset this by being very attentive and accommodating. I especially enjoy the pool, it may be the largest around Cairns and it never seems crowded. My favourite hotel in this place.
