Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is incredible, right on the waterfront with stunning views, and close to all the main shopping areas and restaurants. The rooms were spacious and had amazing balconies with views over the water. The service was impeccable, with the receptionist going above and beyond to ensure a great holiday experience. However, the service did drop off a bit towards checkout. The dining experience was delightful, especially for vegetarians like myself. Overall, a fantastic value for money with top-notch facilities.
I stayed at this hotel located right on the Esplanade with a beautiful view overlooking the water. The rooms were spacious and had a double large basin, adding a touch of luxury. However, the service was inconsistent, initially great but then disappeared. The location was extremely convenient, set in the gardens and just a short walk from the main strip. The dining experience was included and offered wonderful views, but the price seemed a bit high for the overall value provided.
The hotel offers rooms with a fantastic view of the Esplanade and good service, although some improvement in staff hospitality could make the experience even better. The location is conveniently near the Esplanade with dining options for vegetarians available. The facilities provide all necessary amenities for a comfortable stay.
The hotel is perfectly situated just a short stroll from the marina, making it convenient for exploring the surrounding area. I enjoyed the water views from my room, but the balcony was a bit small. The separate bedroom provided added privacy and comfort. Despite the great location, the price was a bit steep for what was offered.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is perfect, close to the beach and restaurants. The rooms were clean and comfy, and the staff was incredibly friendly. However, the dining experience could use some improvement. Overall, a great value for the money.
I couldn't have asked for a better location! The hotel is right on the Cairns waterfront, within easy walking distance to the CBD and restaurants. The rooms were clean and comfortable with a king-size bed, and the service was top-notch with excellent customer service. However, the dining experience lacked variety in food options. The facilities were well-equipped and served my needs well. Overall, a great place to stay with some minor room for improvement.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location was amazing, right by the Esplanade and with easy access to great restaurants. The rooms were top-notch, with stunning sea views and overlooking the Esplanade. The level of relaxation I experienced while savoring the beautiful sights was incomparable. The only downside was the intermittent service, but that didn't overshadow the overall fantastic experience.
I couldn't have asked for a better location with the hotel being right on the Esplanade within walking distance to Cairns central shopping. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the service was a bit inconsistent. The dining options were satisfactory, and the facilities offered were decent for the price.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms offered beautiful balconies with water views as requested, but some towels in the bathroom were dirty. The air-conditioning unit on the ceiling operated well. However, I found the service to be inconsistent, excellent at check-in and poor at check-out. The location was extremely convenient, set in the gardens and close to Cairns eateries, but the dining options with avocado all over the toast were not to my liking.
