Little things about the room were not thought out. It was hard to find a plug to charge phone. Only one was behind tv. Bath was only for children. No slip mat in bath for shower. Small scratchy towels, etc. Okay, but not fantastic.

Hotel was on a nice walkway on the foreshore.House keeping wasn't the best. Empty tissue box wasn't replaced. No floors vacuumed for the 6 nights stay. Lots of marks on the walls . For each day of no housekeeping a $10 credit was given for maximum of 3 days to use on food and beverage. Breakfast very expensive.

A lovely facility, coffee downstairs was excellent, breakfast buffet was well priced and well staffed. Rooms clean and well appointed. Everything you expect, lush tropical pool. Ocean views are gorgeous. Parking was easy and secure. Close to hospital, skatepark, minutes drive to the night markets. It will be my new go-to accommodation when visiting Cairns.
