Great hotel with one huge, major drawback, they have opened bars at the front of the hotel and on the Saturday, Sunday and Monday various events meant mind numbing bass music volume rang through the room. We had a massive day so wanted a bit of a rest in the room wow, no way. The Saturday stopped at 9 and the other nights at 10:30 and that doesn’t sound too bad but when you’ve been out on the reef all day in 30 degree sun and a few lunchtime refreshments last thing you need is your brain fried by a dj. I should say we aren’t in our 20’s but there again not in a retirement village either. Great for tireless teens or twenty somethings.

I booked an ‘Urban King’ room with a balcony for three nights as I resided in Cairns for six years & knew I wanted fresh air. I somehow ended up in the tower in an enclosed room. After informing reception were told we could have a balcony room but had to wait until 2pm the next day which was the same time we were booked on a party bus for a 60th. We were then moved to a room with no wifi which we needed to stream a football final our son was about to play in. Took some time & couldn’t be fixed. It was impossible to relax, waiting, packing & unpacking until we were finally offered a nice room on our last night. Other than this staff were lovely & the resort is beautiful.

Room was very quiet and restful with a beautiful view. Unfortunately the lounge with the 360 degree view from the 12th floor was closed the nights we were there. VERY disappointing since it was one of the draws for us to stay at this hotel.

Absolutely beautiful! We didn’t realize you cannot swim in the ocean in Cairns…so we were really lucky to have such a beautiful pool at this hotel. The rooms were perfect (clean, modern and quiet). We had the buffet breakfast every morning (it has everything).
