"This was great hotel, in a fantastic location. We had a balcony room at the front of the building and it had a great view. My only criticism is that breakfast finishes very early for a hotel that is in a holiday location but we did find plenty of options around the city. Over all great hotel in a good location with friendly and helpful staff."

"Good location, nice water view, pool, comfortable rooms. But the buffet breakfast needs some attention. It was very busy and having just one (working) coffee machine for1 00+ people is just unacceptable. You either have to wait or pay extra for a handmade one. Not very luxe."

Cairns Plaza Hotel

"Great location and the room was spacious, comfortable and clean. Loved the deck overlooking the Esplanade and easy walking distance to shops, restaurants etc."

Cairns Colonial Club Resort

Cairns Colonial Club Resort

8/10 Good

"Well situated and appointed family resort, set in lush gardens with restaurants within the complex. As an older couple travelling without a car we left the pools to the very happy families using them. However we could walk to the stunning Botanic Gardens and use the bus to travel into the city for the wonderful Kuranda Rail trip and walks along the Esplanade. The resort makes a good base, the staff are all lovely and rooms are serviced daily."

Mantra Esplanade

Mantra Esplanade

10/10 Excellent

"The bathrooms could be modernised however in saying that the rooms were wonderful and clean, well equipped. The staff were always friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We had a clean and refresh of towels and cleaning products like laundry powder and dishwashing liquid midway through our stay (despite only staying 6 days) which was extremely helpful and nice. The hotel itself is situated in a great location; walking distance to the pier, night markets, lagoon, casino, countless restaurants and shops."
