    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!

    inviting pool

    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.

    Couple looking for a nice stay

    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.

    ocean view
    outdoor pool
    unreliable fridge

    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! 😄

    ocean views
    family-friendly pool
    friendly staff
    lack of activities

    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.

    amazing views
    outdoor swimming pool

    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! 💖🌊

    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.

    loud fan
    minor noise issue

    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.

    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.

    comfy bed
    comfortable pillows
    amazing bathtub
    loud bathroom fan
    hard to walk

    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.
