Top Cairns and Barrier Reef Hotel Reviews
Mantra Esplanade
10/10 Excellent
"Great place to stay and very convenient. Pool was a bit dirty but everything else was good"
Cairns Colonial Club Resort
10/10 Excellent
"I stayed in the superior room downstairs as I am unable to manage stairs. The room was awesome, but walls in this resort are paper thin as I heard every movement from the room above me and every room door slam shut, every single time. I - however closed mine gently it is possible maybe put signs up behind the doors to close gently. I have stayed also last year in the garden room and same issues but I generally loved the resort and the amenities available in the same place. A couple more disabled parks would also be good."
Crystalbrook Riley
10/10 Excellent
"Excellent in all ways - we thoroughly enjoyed our stay"
Rydges Esplanade Resort Cairns
8/10 Good
"Staff were friendly and helpful"
Shangri-La The Marina, Cairns
8/10 Good
"We loved the central position to everything in Cairns, plus a beautiful view. Rooms very clean and fresh. Thought the hotel was dated and the swimming pool and surrounds need updating. More lifts are needed in hotel, such a very long walk to our room from lifts. But as said, the best position in Cairns."
Ramada By Wyndham Cairns City Centre
10/10 Excellent
"Great location great staff"
Cairns Harbourside Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Nice views good location"
Bohemia Resort Cairns
8/10 Good
"The room was spacious and accommodated our group well. The stove, TV, and fridge were all working properly. Having two toilets and a bathroom was also very convenient and useful for the number of guests in our group. Secure parking within the property was another positive, although there were not enough parking spaces available. Unfortunately, the unit felt quite outdated and appeared to need better maintenance. The beds were uncomfortable and seemed to be sinking, and the shower head could not be adjusted or moved. One particularly disappointing experience was when we asked for milk and coffee at around 7:00 am. We were told by the staff that no service was available until 8:00 am. Overall, while the unit was spacious and had some useful amenities, the outdated condition, lack of maintenance, uncomfortable beds, limited parking, and poor early-morning service made our stay disappointing."
Pullman Cairns International
10/10 Excellent
"So central and convenient place to stay. The pool deck was amazing, the staff are great as well. Loved my stay and would book again."
