Top Cairns Hotel Reviews

Mantra Esplanade

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, helpful staff, clean and spacious room with a great view overlooking the Lagoon and Esplanade"

Crystalbrook Bailey

8/10 Good

"Beautiful, helpful and friendly staff and easy check in and out. Rooms were clean but on the small side. Bathroom is poorly designed, making it difficult for 2 people to get ready to go out. Especially for make up application as either the toilet or basin is over the mirror and there is no mirror lighting. A little more wardrobe space would be handy if your stay is 7 days or more. The gym needs more eqiptment, a set of dumbbells would be a good addition. The push bikes were free and great to borrow, lovely art everywhere and a super convenient location. Restaurants, cafes, galleries, The Esplanade, supermarket and markets all an easy walking distance, laundry accross the road too!"
