Fire / emergency obstructed hallway.

Cairns is a fun place and the hotel is in a great location. My biggest problem was the cleaning staff left bags and large carts in the halls all day long and room Service items making a safety factor if an emergency Arrived.

Spoil yourself in Cairns

This is a beautiful resort on the waterfront in Cairns. The beds and bedding are extremely comfortable. The room is in good condition. The landscaping and pool area are very well maintained. Poolside meals and drinks are delicious and reasonably priced.
