    mouldy curtains
    old carpets

    what a surprise! my stay was just delightful—if you love old, worn carpets and mouldy shower curtains, that is! i simply can’t believe i wasn’t offered a room upgrade for my troubles. the lack of basic amenities was alarming, and the helicopters? absolutely charming at 2 a.m., thank you very much. i almost gave a good review, but i just couldn’t.

    well-maintained pool
    questionable cleanliness

    Spacious apartments with great views

    The pool was lovely and well-maintained. Our apartment, while a bit dated, had breathtaking ocean views. Plus, it's conveniently close to restaurants and markets.

    The cleanliness left something to be desired, as we found stains on kitchen items and dust in the corners. Additionally, noise levels from nearby rooms could be disruptive.

    dated furniture
    kitchen items

    The spacious apartment offered fantastic views of the ocean and was just a short walk away from restaurants and shops. It felt like a home away from home, equipped with two bathrooms and good laundry facilities, which were perfect after our adventures. The location was great for exploring attractions like the Cairns Aquarium and local markets. Overall, my group had a comfortable stay and enjoyed the amenities like the pool and spa.

    great location
    outdated furniture
    poor wifi

    The location is great for exploring nearby attractions.

    Our apartment had noticeable dust, especially under the bed. The furniture felt outdated, which was disappointing compared to what I expected. The WiFi in the bedroom was barely functional, making it tough to work during our stay.

    spacious apartment

    Family with children could enjoy it

    The apartment was roomy,, and we had two good sized bedrooms that were perfect for all of us. The kids really loved the pool area, it was so refreshing in the humidity. We also appreciated the early check-in, allowing us to start our vacation without delays.

    It wasn't inexpensive,, but for what you get, it’s still acceptable.

    spacious apartment
    great amenities
    perfect location
    tricky air conditioning

    We had an amazing time at this place! The location was perfect for a group getaway, close to the swimming lagoon and really easy to explore shops and restaurants. The apartment was clean and spacious with great amenities. We enjoyed swimming, snorkeling, and using the tours offered.

    The initial experience with the air conditioning was tricky. It took us some time to figure it out since it had a night setting we weren't familiar with, but once explained, it worked well.

    two bathrooms
    dated decor
    minor issues

    We had a 2-bedroom apartment for 5 nights, and it was spacious with a great view of the Esplanade. The kids loved having their own room and the two bathrooms were super handy. The amenities like the sauna and spa were nice bonuses. Just a heads up, it was a bit dated, but still good value for money!

    This hotel is a good option for a short visit in Cairns at a reasonable price. The balconies in our apartment were great for enjoying the views and relaxing in the evenings. Check if you can get a room on a higher floor for the best sea views.
