Top Cairns and Barrier Reef Hotel Reviews
Crystalbrook Flynn
10/10 Excellent
"Loved the location. The room was well equipped and comfortable and all of the staff were friendly"
Cairns Harbourside Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"The room was well equipped and the location was great (right by the beach and close to the city centre but a bit quieter and close to the airport). The staff were extremely helpful from checking my in to planning excursions, to ordering taxis, and check out. Being able to access the commercial gym nearby was a nice touch to have access to a fully equipped gym. The same day laundry service was helpful as well. The pool was great to enjoy out in the sun. The room was clean overall but some of the amenities (ex. Shower curtain) had some wear and tear from seemingly having been used for a while. Overall everything worked well though and we really enjoyed our stay! Would book again!"
Bohemia Resort Cairns
8/10 Good
"Clean room & comfortable bed."
Crystalbrook Riley
8/10 Good
"Overall it’s fine"
Pacific Hotel Cairns
8/10 Good
"Loved our room ✔️"
The Oceanfront Cairns
10/10 Excellent
"Staff were lovely - it has a 24/7 reception team. Our room had an updated modern bathroom but the remaining part of the room was still very dated and unrefurbished. However it was clean and the bed was comfortable.One of the elevators was down at the time of our stay, but the other was working. It is a great location, beach was right out the front and you can walk to cainrs city along the waterfront in under 20mins."
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."
