Pullman Cairns International

10/10 Excellent

"So central and convenient place to stay. The pool deck was amazing, the staff are great as well. Loved my stay and would book again."

Shangri-La The Marina, Cairns

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at Shangri-La Cairns, and while the hotel itself is in an excellent location and is both beautiful and comfortable, what truly made the experience exceptional was the outstanding service from the staff. From the moment we arrived, the team went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Every interaction was warm, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful, and it was clear that nothing was too much trouble. The staff’s friendliness and care consistently elevated our stay and made everything feel effortless and well looked after. We also enjoyed the breakfast and the 5pm canapés, which were a lovely touch to start and end each day. Our room was clean, comfortable, and relaxing, but it was the exceptional service that truly defined our experience. Overall, it was a genuinely memorable stay, made special by the incredible staff, and we would happily return."

Pullman Reef Hotel Casino

10/10 Excellent

"We would have preferred a buffet breakfast but the Alacarte was very nice .Katrin at breakfast was wonderful and looked after us really well. All the staff from reception to housekeeping to hospitality were especially helpful. There is a Woolworths just around the corner and the bus terminal is a comfortable walk, even for us seniors. The rooms were spacious and the bathroom had a separate toilet with basin. body wash shampoo and conditioner were on the wall dispensers which was very convenient. Lifts were prompt even though the hotel was at capacity. Generally a great hotel in a convenient location with great staff. We will stay here again!"
