This place suits me perfectly! Great amenities like wi-fi, 24-hour reception, and an outdoor swimming pool make my stays enjoyable. The helpful staff arranged a taxi for me on my first visit, which I appreciated. I’m coming back for Christmas!

Should you go for it? my answer

A beautiful stay with breathtaking views! The restaurant offers great evening meals at reasonable prices, alongside a diverse drink selection. Room size is decent, providing ample space. Location lets you conveniently explore the city. You'll enjoy the inviting pool area. Just be prepared for a bit of distance to the main attractions.

We paid extra for the upgrade and it was worth it for the view! The staff were super polite and helped us with our reservations, and let me tell you, waking up to those ocean views was a rush.

It wasn’t cheap but it was still acceptable.

I loved the ocean view from my room and had a fantastic time lounging by the outdoor pool with a drink. They have a nice sun terrace and comfy sun loungers to relax on. The only thing was the fridge didn't stay cold enough, but it didn’t ruin my stay! 😄

The pool area is nice, but the room had cockroaches.

The ocean views from our family room were stunning, and the pool was a fantastic way for the kids to cool off after our adventures exploring Cairns. The pizzas we ordered for dinner were a hit with the kids, and the staff were friendly.

My children wished there were more activities for families during our stay.

fine, fine, fine

The views from my Queen Room with Sea View on the 10th floor were amazing-think turquoise waters under the sun! I couldn't get enough of lounging by the outdoor swimming pool, soaking up the sun on a comfy sun lounger. Plus, the vibe was super chill, combining the beauty of nature with the convenience of nearby cafes.

Totally recommend! 💖🌊

We had such a lovely stay! The room was spacious with an amazing sea view, and the pool area was perfect for relaxing after our adventures. Breakfast was delicious, with a great selection of fresh fruit.

Friendly staff and comfy beds

Just spent 2 nights with my family and really liked it! The twin room was super comfy – my hubby's picky about beds, and he didn't complain at all. The staff were so friendly and helpful, and I think we got a nice upgrade with a sea view, too. Breakfast was solid, but the bathroom could use a little updating.

I had a good stay with a nice ocean view room. Libby at the front desk helped me find great local tours, and the main pool provided a relaxing spot after my daily explorations. Walking to nearby attractions was easy and convenient.

The bathroom fan was loud throughout my stay, which I found a bit annoying, but it didn't ruin my experience.

Staying at Rydges was a nice experience. The friendly staff made it easy to navigate local tours, and I loved relaxing by the pool. The room offered fine ocean views, but the bathroom could use a bit more attention. A great stay!

My recent stay exceeded my expectations. The room had fine ocean views that made waking up a joy. The staff were super helpful, especially when i needed local tips.

the shower lacked consistent water pressure.

The location was perfect for exploring local attractions, as it was an easy walk to various sites. I particularly enjoyed the ocean view from my room. it made mornings delightful and relaxing. While the staff was accommodating and helpful in recommending local tours, I did encounter a minor issue with inconsistent water pressure in the shower. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.

The room was comfy with super nice pillows—definitely a plus for restful sleep! A cool feature was the bathtub. wish I'd used it more. The ocean view was a treat every morning! But, the bathroom fan was kind of loud which got a bit annoying. Wish it was closer to shops since I had a back injury. walking back and forth was tough.
