"everything about this property was lovely. only thing, kids could find the gaming console (not that i minded lol) and the ad made it sound like the pool was just outside but infact its a small stroll down the road. still enjoyed our swim etc but was one of the deciding factors to stay here when we thought the pool was right there. But that's nothing major, everything else was as described and beds were comfy. would recommend :) "

Novotel Cairns Oasis Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel with amazing rooms. Beds were super comfortable and were very quiet. We couldn’t hear neighbors or people outside at the pool. Restaurant and bar had great food and drinks too!"
