We loved our stay at Hilton Cairns! Fabulous location, excellent staff & service, comfortable bed and linen. We spent hours on the balcony and by the pool. A pina colada and club sandwich by the pool puts you straight into holiday mode. We didn't have the breakfast, preferred the local cafes. We also took advantage of skipping a room service for a drink instead. Great idea!

It was a nice stay. We’d just come from Palm Cove, so it felt a little tired and busy in comparison. We liked the view of the river. We found the Esplanade very windy but maybe we were just unlucky? The staff were lovely and the Little Hilton stamp collecting was cute for our kid. But annoying having to pay additional charge for parking - not sure we would choose this place again based on that.
