    Clean. Good service from friendly and happy staff. The location is good, out of the main cbd area so it's not noisy but still less than 10min drive to get there. Rooms were quiet, first hotel where i didn't get woken up by neighbouring rooms...

    Large comfortable beds and big rooms. We had a sea view - good choice. Helpful and friendly staff. Gorgeous pool and pool towels available from reception. Easy walk along the seafront to cafes and restaurants. We ate at the Deli Express. Delicious...

    The bed was absolutely amazing, but the pillows were even better!! We just stayed one night to be close the airport and had the best night sleep ever! We were also pleasantly surprised with a great bathtub in the room.
  • Michael

    Good room, free parking and good location. We walked down the main path along the coast to Cairns centre where we had a good variety of restaurants and pubs. The lido looked good but we didn't have time to try it.
