We were on the 9th floor. Very quiet, except for the baby elephants upstairs! Can't be helped if you are in a multilevel block. Bed is relatively new and COMFORTABLE. Fantastic view. Traffic noise reduced to a whisper when the door to the balcony is closed. Very important.

The maintenance of our unit was not kept up. The patio door did not close properly, the window had screws to stop ability to open. Shutter doors to the toilet bathroom is in desparate need of clean and repair. The wall tiles in the bathroom need to have black scrubbed and bleached. The shower lever has no top plate. Water pressure is mediocre. The kitchen lounge bed area were all okay, although the blanket smelt dusty. There is no hob, but there is a combi oven, and a microwave. And the kitchen is adequately equiped. The absolute star of the show is the view. Straight to the sea across the strand. Extra special because we were 9th floor. We have booked to stay again in 3 days, am hoping the issues with todays unit is not the usual in this complex.

Great views

Service was good but I had to check out a day early due to a family member being unwell back in Cairns. It was before the 2pm checkin yet they didnt offer me a partial refund. Whereas it was the night of the footy so no doubt they rented out the room again.
