Top Reef Teach Hotel Reviews

Rydges Esplanade Resort Cairns

8/10 Good

"The property lacks an appropriate number of outlets. Trying to charge all our devices was extremely challenging. You need usb based power strips for the few outlets you have. Also, disappointed that there was no microwave in the room. Lastly, we asked for our room to be cleaned once during our stay but no one came. I even talked to your housekeeping staff cleaning the room next to mine. Pools were sadly lacking in cleanliness"
