The room was extremely clean and fresh. The staff were exceptionally helpful and pleasant. The buffet breakfast offered me what I needed with vegan, gluten-free options and the food was thoroughly delightful. I highly recommend this hotel for your Cairns stays.

For the price it’s pretty reasonable. The pools are great. Rooms are a bit outdated but for the price it isn’t bad.
