I stayed at the hotel with 6 other family members and we all enjoyed our time spent there together. Our rooms were clean well maintained, staff were friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel was central and we were able to walk to lots of food outlets and close to the water front also. We enjoyed our breakfast and some food and drinks here also.

Requires some better investment and modernizing, it wouldn’t take a lot to lift the facility. Improve systems and processes to ensure maintenance is either preventative or proactive. Helpful staff and a great location.

Fantastic location, great amenities and very helpful staff. The rooms were serviced daily and items were replenished according to your preferences. Breakfast buffet had a good selection of food and drink and was good value for money. The hotel room was very clean. Only downside was that some elements of the hotel look a bit tired (eg the outside walls, some of the paintwork and soft furnishings) and could do with a refresh. Overall would recommend and would stay again.

After reading sone of the reviews I was a little anxious but the place is great. The staff are very accommodating, breakfast is a treat, and the on site food would put other hotels to shame ( and well priced ). The outside pool is generous with plenty of sun and for those who like to hide, shade as well. I really have nothing to complain about and would pick the hotel again if ever I am visiting Cairns. BTW, location was great too!

Amazing views from our Horizon Club Room. Room was clean, spacious and had everything we needed. Breakfast and snacks in the club room were lovely. Unfortunately we were very sick while we were there and spent a lot of time in our room but what a place to feel ill, views from the bed cheered us up and the lady servicing the room was very helpful and provided us with extra water every day.

We loved the central position to everything in Cairns, plus a beautiful view. Rooms very clean and fresh. Thought the hotel was dated and the swimming pool and surrounds need updating. More lifts are needed in hotel, such a very long walk to our room from lifts. But as said, the best position in Cairns.
